10:30 dayum! wasn't expecting it to make that! great little rig out of the box it appears

[@crawlerballer]

This seems to be a huge upgrade from the CR18 harvest I bought a year or so ago. The drive train fell apart immediately and the shocks were somewhat welded to the chassis 😵‍💫. IMO The best mini crawler money can buy is the Cayman Prooooooooooow. Great video homie!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching! Cayman pro is a beast

[@ka4172]

A real bargain the EVO with this prize! I bought the Van and Ranger 5 Months ago and they so amazing fun to crawl! Now i wait for my EVO Harvest and later to get EVO gearbox Motor spare part for my old CR-18P to upgrade. Maybe also build a 6x6 with the third outdrive of the EVo gearbox.

[@jamesmcnamara7484]

I’m curious if the 2 speed trans would be easily modified to a dig feature.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Good question. Would love to see a dig on the small scales.

[@RC_Trailing]

I'm curios on what upgrades you have done for the cr18p evo harvest. I would like to see an update video on it please

[@CapeCrawlers]

I sold the harvest after furitek released the brushless fx118. But on that truck I did stainless links, driveshafts, front brass portal boxes, wheels & tires

[@motohubsf]

Looks great except the front articulation seem to be less than the non eve model. Any Idea if this will improve if moving the servo to the axle ? Any other ideas on how to improve this ( issue ?) . thanks

[@CapeCrawlers]

The shocks are super stiff. I think they could function better with no springs or shorter springs. It's possible that the SOA conversion could help

[@etrc81]

I think it is it has a lot of potential

[@acrccrawlers9548]

Looks really good, sits a little high but seems like it has a lot of potential for mods and upgrades

[@scottmorgan2467]

It looks good and has really nice features. And at that price point is a real contender in the micro crawlers field. I’m just having fun with my fcx24 k5 though. I just got new tires for it and that made a real big difference in its crawling manners. I think I just may have to go to work and make some inner wheel weights out of brass or bronze and I think my K5 would really be a beast.

[@scottmorgan2467]

Oh yeah, almost forgot….that’s the old International/Harvester body. Which really makes it cool. I’d like to see you turn that into a recovery tow truck out of the Evo.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thats a great idea and my son would love it. He's a recovery fanatic!

[@scottmorgan2467]

@@CapeCrawlers more power to him and you!

[@RobertLee-j9c]

Adam, have you done a video on the upgrades on for the Hobby Plus CR18P EVO Harvest crawler.

[@RobertLee-j9c]

I saw that. have you done any upgrades on it yet.

[@jasoncaisley5071]

that is cool adam and for the price metal drivetrain great for the kids another cool vid u explain every perfect not to much but u always explain what needs covering never get sick of watching your builds or reviews coming from someone that been into the hobby for over 20 years now welldone and greatwork thanks again

[@RodEarl-n9r]

Thanks for the review on the Harvest. You are doing a great job. Love your blue power wagon, just sick for a toy.

[@vdel9036]

I'm surprised the suspension seems not to move while crawling. Springs too strong or any other issue in the link system ? Same Rx/ESC box as the first version ? Do you feel a difference in low speed control now the motor is a 130 class ? Thanks for this video.👍

[@2fmrc]

Yeah the spring rate is way too stiff for the truck. That was my main issue with it. It don’t flex at all! lol

[@CapeCrawlers]

I feel like the slow speed control in low gear is nearly identical to the regular CR18P, which I was very happy to discover!

[@raulferreira8273]

Hello Adam, i wanted to know if you can help me, is it possibel to put the two speed tranmission and servo, on the cr18p trail hunter (the olde one)? and if the original eletronics suports the intal of the new servo ?

[@rcglock9608]

Wait I'm confused. 2fm said it was waterproof and ran it through puddles in the rain but u said it was only water resistant

[@JUSTHAVEFUNRC]

It’s supposed to be waterproof. But keep in mind waterproof doesn’t mean submarine proof.

[@rcglock9608]

It does though. That's y there's a difference between waterproof and water resistant

[@CapeCrawlers]

The manual says water resistant. I’d rather err on the side of caution on this topic

[@derekhaumesser2594]

My favorite platform out of box! Nice review bro

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching!

[@1975normal]

It climbs exceptionally Good LCG and weight distribution 🤩

[@luisLP5752]

Can you please tell me the inner diameter of those wheels? Thank you

[@greggrube2948]

Awesome video Adam 👍😁

[@adamskirc]

Looks very promising 👌 I've been planning to get the kit version. How much better is this one? Is it worth waiting as it is not available here yet. Thanks for sharing.

[@CapeCrawlers]

I would go ahead and build the kit and then buy the motor/gearbox when it's available as a standalone replacement part. That's what I plan to do with our T-hunter!

[@adamskirc]

@CapeCrawlers Thanks. I will use it mostly for crawling on small course, so I may not need that second gear anyway. 👍

[@JUSTHAVEFUNRC]

I’m excited for these. My rockvan is my second favorite after my trx4m (only Becuase I put way to much into it). Ordered an orange T hunter evo as soon as it was available.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Love the orange T-hunter!!

[@Sparroh]

Looks fun and so beautiful. I will overland with this, I ordered one 😂. Thanks for the info. I’m new and had no ideas of this was a decent one to pick up.

[@jasoncaisley5071]

adam if u have time to answer this do u now if the furitek power wagon has the 2 speed in it

[@ka4172]

Ha ha i broke the same bedsite and one body fix point in the bed (falling down 2 Meters down on concrete) ! Lost one Mirror (found and fixed) and lost one Lightbar glass (never found) but i doo very hard outdoor trails and some brutal long roll downs. My newest breakage the front driveshaft.but i love the Truck for his capabillities!

[@matthewwmullan]

on the add-on tab when ordering they offer a hobby plus soa mount which seems like a no brainer for me.

[@fairrc]

Just be careful with that. On the EVO, you'll need to find a place to relocate the ESC when you install the SOA mount. On the original CR18P, it fits easily.

[@matthewwmullan]

​@fairrc good call. Didn't even consider a possible conflict.

[@_alienx_p]

Did LGRP stop making transmissions?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Yes but only because they are releasing something new and better

[@_alienx_p]

@@CapeCrawlers I like the sound of that

[@KennethFulkerson-z5h]

I would like to see a budget build on this.

[@EastTexasCrawlers]

Can’t wait till upgrade video

[@Jake_mitchell]

I personally love the look of the body

[@CapeCrawlers]

It has grown on me a lot!

[@jonesyba420]

Where can we get this in the uk?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Fair RC should ship to you: shrsl.com/3w3co

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah the brass rings works great I have them in the front of my rock van , And the front of my trail hunter leaving those two rigs stock, appreciate you sharing, got my silver K5 today it is beautiful. Catch you on the next one

[@ka4172]

I get the front brass wheeladapter also on my Van and Ranger and with the the Injora 5S and RC4WD Mud Slinger the expierence are amazing on this littel Trucks.

[@dellystinky]

Thing looks killer🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bradkalman2353]

Are they waterproof?

[@The_bradesterboy]

No only water resistant not waterproof completely

[@2fmrc]

Yeah they are waterproof. I ran mine through plenty water lol

[@The_bradesterboy]

@@2fmrc alright but in the video he said water resistant

[@2fmrc]

@@The_bradesterboy yeah idk? The box says waterproof on one side and water resistant on the other so it’s confusing. Same with the original rock van so I sank it completely in my review vid and it’s been fine. So I ran this one pretty deep as well and haven’t had any issues so far 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@The_bradesterboy]

@@2fmrc hmm okay

[@KrispysRC]

Can’t wait to see what Injora comes up with for these!

[@turbocrash9373]

I am so glad i have found you and your Channel! I am pretty new to this Hobby and now have ordered my first scx 24 😄 your channel gives me the best introduction possible. I have found an axle set i am really curious about. Is there anway you could look into that?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Awesome! Thank you! Which axle set are you looking at? There are lots of choices.

[@mikeashbaugh7773]

Impressive, man just found your channel, I subscribed, you sure have the gear to check these mini crawlers out!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks for watching!

[@MeinNameistFlo]

Put the same Budget on it as on the TRX4m And lets see if it can beat it. Looks like a good competitor if you ask me.

[@farmboyrc]

there really making me want one!

[@monstermaxsrcs5893]

Very nice and two speed truck not a bad looking truck thanks for the great video

[@CapeCrawlers]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@crashandcynder]

i would love to see them start making 1/24 crawlers next

[@CapeCrawlers]

A CR24P Evo would be amazing!

[@rcjoe406]

Be kool to make it a high trail put some big tall tires

[@RCCrawlerz209]

1st time seeing a 2 speed transmission on a small rig. 😮🤔

[@2fmrc]

Wow! You haven’t checked out the fcx24? It’s had 2 speed for over a year now.

[@RCCrawlerz209]

@@2fmrc I'm aware of the rig, I just never noticed it.....

[@The_bradesterboy]

How does it do better than the k5 blazer and creamsicle😭😂😭, is it the new Trx4m?????

[@JUSTHAVEFUNRC]

The days of the trx4m are over lol. We’ll kind off. More 3rd parties need to jump on making parts for these.

[@The_bradesterboy]

@@JUSTHAVEFUNRCTbh I don’t like the harvest at all, but the Trx4m could never die, they are very reliable if you treat them good

Two folks from Instagram and one KZbin subscriber. I can't remember their usernames offhand.

She was wanting it Up Hells gate, Yep I’m here watching

[@brianbiro9094]

What's EVO MEAN ?🤔

[@derrickwilliams2903]

Looks super tippy to me. Not a great performer out of the box. Maybe you are being a little too kind.

[@LARANUD]

Have you watched his other videos on the same course he has had other stock trucks do way worse. It’s harder than you think making one of those videos. Good job Adam!!🎉

[@JUSTHAVEFUNRC]

It is a little tippy. But what rtr isn’t? The biggest thing is the shocks that come on these. I speculate if it’s anything like the cr18p They’re way to stiff and bouncy.

[@TrokaRC]

I had a chance to see one up close, just needs shocks and heavy wheel combo.

[@derrickwilliams2903]

@@LARANUD Either someone tells it like it is or they don't. And if they don't, you have to wonder why.

[@JUSTHAVEFUNRC]

@@TrokaRC yeah the stock shocks don’t do much to help it. But their $30 oil shocks with no springs or a cut down spring are really good and increase stability and articulation a bunch. The stock tires are pretty good for an rtr. They just need a little break in time and a little bit of weight and they grab damn near everything.
