Hobby Plus CR-18P Trail Hunter + Rock Van: Radio, Receiver, Lightcontroller, CH3, CH4, Winch

Yeah love lights, one of my favorites is night runs, appreciate you sharing I’ll be back 👍👍😎

[@HenryCalderonJr]

Love the details you explained! Thank you 😊

[@PuertoRicanPrepper]

A tutorial on how to do a proper 4 wheel steer on the T-hunter would be awesome. I would love tagging along as I tackle that challenge. Also, a link to the group would be great. Thanks for making such excellent videos.

[@donaldsneffe]

Which Facebook Group? 4-wheel steering will not be that easy since you cannot buy a complete front axle, but will have to buy all parts extra. Furthermore you'll have to remove or cut the truck bed, since servo on axle will hit (I did already test my servo on axle mount on rear axles).

[@PuertoRicanPrepper]

@@donaldsneffe There was a group mentioned I think.

[@donaldsneffe]

@@PuertoRicanPrepper Yes... I do not use FB a lot for RC (still am member of the "FMS FCX24 Mods & Fun" group, but rarely read). MiniRC Channel (YT) mentioned that someone on FB posted this solution. You will have to ask there which group it was.

[@PuertoRicanPrepper]

Perfect, Thanks!

[@rcjeepguy3560]

hey Domald, i love your show. you always make me laugh and try to learn. i just wonder why! why do they hide all of this stuff. is it a game to them or what?not all of us are as blessed as you with this knowledge. it just frustrates me. that they do this. i'm glad you can figure it out. thanks for the hard work. God bless and hello from Kentucky.

Hello...have a super weekend

[@rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

Very helpful video

[@MrLorenz630]

Hello! Love your video. I had a quick question, my son messed with my remote transmitter and now the rock van i have goes very fast in reverse and really slow going forward. By any chance do you know how to fix that? Any help would be much appreciated!

[@donaldsneffe]

Guess needs new calibration. Try new binding. All trims etc. zero, then switch on radion in binding mode, then switch on truck. in binding mode. Hope this solves the problem.

[@CanAmTransporter]

Great video mate,thanks a lot,does CR-18P Trail Hunter have 2 gears or ?

[@donaldsneffe]

Thank you. There are versions without 2-speed (CR-18P) and versions with (CR-18P Evo) of CR-18P Rock Van and Trail-Hunter. So you can get Trail Hunter with and without.

[@colinkeierleber1097]

Thanks for working all of that out. What esc were you using to control the winch? And does the hobby plus controller control the lights of an FCX24? I'm looking to replace an fcx24 transmitter that started to develop the servo shiver problem.

[@donaldsneffe]

Yes, it does (the "old" FCX24 radio). This ESC: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaPacnuwZ6x-rqM www.banggood.com/2_7A-1S-Dual-Way-Micro-Brush-ESC-3_3-6V-Winch-Reversing-with-Overheat-Out-of-Control-Protection-for-DIY-RC-Model-p-1533777.html?p=6S2910081756201209IA&custlinkid=419729

@@donaldsneffe isn't this a link for the micro esc that didn't work for the winch?

[@donaldsneffe]

@@colinkeierleber1097 Works... check 14 minutes... but not with thie FCX24 radio ;-) - the "other" ESC is the "super normal" red "China" ESC you can find everywhere... thought you know this anyway ;-) Under this video you'll find links: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpXCiIKmq9SjoNU

Hi friend, Where I can get those adapter cables for the esc. The white plugs doesnt fit in the blacks. Best regards

[@donaldsneffe]

Guess you'll have to make them. Do not know where to buy, I make my own wires, plugs from Ebay, Ali, Amazon, ...

[@xwirbelx3361]

Danke ✌🏼😎

[@mikebairsoftadventures616]

The esc used at around the 19th minute is it possible to power it via the receiver or mandatory straight from another battery?

[@donaldsneffe]

They need 2s, so if you have HV in your receiver, this should work (but you'll have to put red and black wire to the battery in of the ESC) - but with "normal" 5 - 6 V they will not work.

[@mikebairsoftadventures616]

@@donaldsneffe I have the Absima Cr24 and that runs on 2s. So in theory should work right? Another option would be to connect this esc to the battery wires and use one battery to power both the main receiver and this esc, correct?

[@donaldsneffe]

@@mikebairsoftadventures616 No - because receiver is powerd by the BEC of the ESC and not directly by battery. Normally 5, 5,5 or 6 V. Anyway, simply try - you cannot damage anything. Take the two battery wires of the ESC (red and black) and use those instead of black and red wire of the "servo plug". Yes, of course you can plug the ESC to the battery. How do you power up your ESC? With another ESC?

[@mikebairsoftadventures616]

@@donaldsneffe stock electronics right now so battery straight to the receiver esc combo.

[@donaldsneffe]

@@mikebairsoftadventures616 So 5.5 V out... (or is it 6 V - forgot). Do not think it will work, but simply try - but be careful, do not use the red and black wire of the servo plug, exchange those and use red and black of battery in of the ESC.

[@TasosX]

Hello friend . Maybe you can help me here. My crawler came with fs-mg41 transmitter and i change the receiver to fs-r4b why they don't binding

[@donaldsneffe]

Hi, yes I can. This is not possible because different type of ANT protocol. ANT protocol receivers and radios from Flysky will not bind to radios/receivers of FMS and Hobby Plus trucks (which come with Flyska ANT radios). Probably companies want this ... so that people spend more money.

[@TasosX]

@@donaldsneffe Thank you very much for your help. So now i must buy a new transmitter which is compatible with that 4 channel receiver fs-r4b. If you have any proposal that will be very helpful.

[@donaldsneffe]

@@TasosX Any Flysky ANT radio, check flysky-cn.com - there you will find all. If you live in Europe, also the Reely Gen4 and the Absima CR7P will work (they are rebranded Flysky radios).

[@TasosX]

@@donaldsneffe Thank you for your super help my friend , I will go for Absima CR7P .
