NSDRC all the way baby! Those tires look nothing short of insane, can't wait to see it comp!

[@hyperc5249]

Right. DJCrawlers are nasty.

[@g.donuts3551]

I’ve got this brushless version. Bought several HP upgrades, steering links, suspension links, and the SS drive shafts from Heli Direct. The steering links were good except for one needed screw. The suspension matching links look cool but are useless, they drastically reduce articulation. The drive shafts were complete garbage, one end of rear wasn’t machined properly, both sloppier than the stock shafts.

[@nj2033]

Thanks for that. I want to make some custom links and fit the Injora Diamond portal axels....

What a great looking truck! Those tires are wicked! I need to get some work done on my rigs before the CK4RC Invitational(s)! haha

[@hyperc5249]

It's coming up. Better get to it.

[@louie000]

Finally someone upgrading the cr18p evo pro I have this rig and parts are hard to find thanks

[@hyperc5249]

Yes they are. But it's definitely the best performance rig in the 18th scale.

[@MrsRabbit8]

I think this is my favorite comp build, it's almost perfect. I think I'd have to try it those tires, at first glance not so much but of course gotta try them before judging. I really want to build one of these, and will be looking for a different option for the trans because i think they are not ideal the way they lurch forward once over a rock or incline. Overall, probably the best rig available to be built with bolt-on upgrades. IMO Thanks for the build video!

[@MrsRabbit8]

Oh, one more thing, i was having a bit of deja vu when i first started watching this.. remember your other video, the Asc18 custom build.. i was tripping out at first, half awake before coffee. Lol Anyway, that thing was freaking amazing, and I'm wondering how these two compare head to head. That build (Asc18 comp build) is probably my favorite so far that you have built. Can you do a head to head comparison on the two? Very similar in ways.

[@hyperc5249]

@MrsRabbit8 Most definitely. I am going to have an 18th scale comparison video this summer. All of them. TRX4M, Ascent18, EVO PRO, Cayman V2, and any other 18th scale rig that might come out. I really expect another company to jump in considering the popularity of this scale.

@@hyperc5249 it's getting HOT in the 1/18 world!

[@hyperc5249]

@MrsRabbit8 💯

[@DTW-bx2vy]

The slop in the CR18P drivetrain is actually from the portal gears, not the transmision gears.

[@bignoize23]

Awesome job! so much inspiration for my own build. Where do you get spare fx118 gearboxes?

[@hyperc5249]

LOL out of my FX118 Fury wagon.

[@bignoize23]

@hyperc5249 haha had a feeling you might say that.

[@paolo8768]

Hi, sorry but I didn't understand well, did you have to cut the drive shaft to make it fit? How much did you have to cut it? Thank you.

[@hyperc5249]

Yes but it didn't work. Just stick with the stock driveshaft until the V2 driveshafts come out.

[@leeroberts163]

Did the overdrive gears work fine with th eaxles and portal covers? Thanks!

[@hyperc5249]

Yes. The V2 portal covers.
