Hobbyplus Evo Pro Juice Up w/Hobbywing Brushless Combo & so much MORE!

[@kennethrobinson9008]

That is a little beast on the rocks! Awesome RTR comp rig.

[@chrisfullerton2911]

Good to see someone else running in cold weather!!!

[@EricsRC]

Very cool!!! Can't wait to see what they changed to reduce the wheel slop!!

[@gabrielbeach5426]

Oh yeah!!! Very impressive revised version an already very capable rig at reasonable price.

[@CK4RC]

Great looking release! Brushless Hobbywing setup, 3s included, less slop in the drivetrain, added brass, stock rear underdrive - all major upgrades in my book. The bright wheels kind look toy grade, but the fact they're beadlock with brass rims is actually pretty cool, imo. Well done Hobby Plus!

[@808rcguy]

Awesome video Matt! Haven’t gotten a new truck in awhile and this may be what I’ve been waiting for. Glad to see that this one is a single speed trans as I don’t really care for a 2 speed in a dedicated comp style crawler, also nice to see them switch things up by putting the hobby wing system in there. It was cool to see the foam course again as well, thanks again and have a good one 🤙🏽

[@andyrichey1192]

👍👍 never say never, that was nice. I’m here watching 7:22 AM Wednesday, January 15. Oh no another new rig dang it.😁👍👍

[@Friskee62]

I know...I was looking and this rig should do me just fine.

[@kollincorkern2648]

Foam course brought back some nice memories. lol

[@GoodTimeHobbyAdventures100]

Man ! Redcat better step up their game ! Great video bud. I gave you a shout out in one of my videos.I got all the guys down here in Yuma, AZ runnin hair bands on their 1/10 crawlers! Thanks for the no BS content too.

[@2fmrc]

@@GoodTimeHobbyAdventures100 nice! Glad others feel it works well also. Always good to hear others have the same result lol. I appreciate the shoutout for sure! Greatly appreciate that 🙏

[@mikerainey3847]

Would like to know what fixed the wheel/chassis slack

[@NFGRC]

I believe that it is the new portal outdrive with 1.5 mm pins

[@2fmrc]

@@mikerainey3847 pretty sure it’s that 1.5mm pin in the outdrive gears

[@TexasMiniCrawlers]

Great video Matt!! Definitely picking one up! Was going to order the original evo pro brushless with the furitek starter 2s system factory but out of stock everywhere. I see they was cooking up a new rig for us geared more towards comp. Can't beat that price with what that rig offers. Looks really good in that red and black

[@2fmrc]

@@TexasMiniCrawlers yeah I see why they were holding out on us now!

[@andyrichey1192]

There it is, through the other mud pit, cool👍👍

[@360woodierc]

Wow! Hell of a deal.

[@kpaintball3]

Wow the foam....been a while i must say i always really liked the airsoft bb part thought it was suchba cool idea when i first seen it

[@andyrichey1192]

Yes, it was. That was impressive.👍👍

[@andyrichey1192]

That was nice through the mud pit👍👍

[@FK-Jaja]

How much run time with that batt?

[@rcjoe406]

2 years ago I was paying 300 plus to build something like this... amazing times 😊

[@andyrichey1192]

Yeah, that was real nice, yes, it looks tough with that loose dirt is👍👍

[@chrism5768]

That is 150% the best performing retro money can buy in the 1/24 or 1/18 space. I gave up on the last gen for 1 reason in comps and it was the drive line slop. Blew a lot of gates because of that. This looks worth exploring again. Look way better out of box.

[@2fmrc]

Yep! I loved the Evo pro but that slop in the drive line was a killer. Anytime I was trying to pull a technical line it completely screwed me somehow lol

[@RickyD1968]

WOW Very impressive comp crawler and your coarse would be really good with no dirt ????

[@2fmrc]

@@RickyD1968 yeah my plan is to remove all of the rocks, wet and pack the dirt really well & possibly add a bit of grout to it to help it stay in place better. Then place the rock back and rebuild. Hopefully I can find some time soon to work on it!

[@johnhudson4493]

Doh ! I ordered a Rushmore 2024 edition, last weekend. I wish I knew this was coming !

[@jayfarthing]

Looks good. Wonder how long it'll be before it's available over in the UK in some form. Decent shocks, brushless setup, performance out of the box, all for a pretty decent price. I kinda prefer a less comp style generally, but the idea of grabbing one of these and being able run smaller wheels/different body and have all that hardware for when you want it definitely appeals. Great to see how little slack there is compared to many other small crawlers right now.

[@andyrichey1192]

Oh wow, that’s pretty cool dude, can’t remember if I seen this course or not super cool👍👍

[@andyrichey1192]

Yeah, that was nice. Going back the other way super cool.👍👍 love the looks of that rig 👍👍

[@Friskee62]

I'll be purchasing one shortly...thanx. Just made the purchase, red & black...

[@2fmrc]

@@Friskee62 thanks for being here! Hope you love it!

[@andyrichey1192]

Juice up I like it love the paint job dang it I don’t need no more rigs😁👍👍

[@andyrichey1192]

Yeah, it’s 12° and feels like 4° here in Michigan and I can’t work the controller with gloves on

[@tykelly310]

Weird that they knocked down the program card settings. Could have at least left the servo voltage adjustment.

[@andyrichey1192]

As always, we appreciate your videos, I’ll watch out for the next one until then peace and chicken grease😁😁👍👍👋👋😎

[@NFGRC]

That is deal at less than 200 bucks. And the yellow one is sick!!!

[@2fmrc]

@@NFGRC yeah that yellow looks killer!

[@NFGRC]

@ and awesome video as always Matt. Thank you again for all the work you put in for everyone’s sake!

[@jameswatt5261]

Great video as always. That’s crazy bang for buck, so many what would normally be aftermarket upgrades already installed. Hate the colour scheme looks like $20 supermarket toy. Definitely throws the ball back at redcat at this price point.

[@axellness]

is this better than the version that comes with the furitek electronics/motor?

[@jeffmackovitch9987]

I’m speechless. How much is this hobbywing motor esc with 3S battery alone? I like the Evo pro but I like this one too

[@PG14306]

Man, that little thing kinda kicks ass, huh? Can't believe how capable the RTR's are these days. I remember getting my scx24 c10 when the first came out. First time out with it and I thought "huh....this kinda sucks" 😂 Now I gotta decide between this and the new HPI.

[@77surefire]

They are totally different beasts but are similar in price (brushless HPI $199). I was interested in HPI & then was leaning towards Redcat Ascent and now this. HPI looks very scale, love the halogen looking headlights and additional lighting controls, detailed body and 2 speed is nice if you want to do trail trucking. This is obviously pure comp style and performance over everything. No working lights, performance body that allows massive tires and articulation but obviously doesn't look at all light a scale vehicle. Very different vehicles but both the HPI and this both look amazing.

[@jimbo4203]

I want one now , I've looked at the original many times but never pulled the trigger 😊 I live on the South side of LBL and my yard looks just like yours right now

[@2fmrc]

@@jimbo4203 yeah it makes it tough to crawl when everything is covered in this snow & ice lol

[@jimbo4203]

@@2fmrc I made videos of a few crawlers in the Snow anyway lol it was fun but cold ❄️

[@mikemangiameli561]

Need a favor. My scooby-doo van got run over by a truck . I save all my manuals but can't find that one. I need the part number for the body. Can't find it on fair rc. Thought you might have that number .

[@2fmrc]

The scooby version was just a FairRc mod I believe so they were the only ones that carried it. I don’t think they make it anymore.

[@mikemangiameli561]

@2fmrc first thanks and that stinks. The lady was hauling ### through the hospital parking lot jump the curb and went into the landscaping where I was crawling and ran scooby-doo over then fled off. I also want to thank you for the heads up on the tourk 1011 servo awesome. Are ya ever going to review the rgt ya got? Thanks again.

[@Steve_J81]

I Won't be getting one but what I will be getting are the parts to alleviate the slop. The 2speed is a must for me, pure crawling gets boring after awhile so being able to click it into second and hoon for a bit makes it more fun.

[@2fmrc]

@@Steve_J81 it definitely makes hill climbs and stuff much more fun!

[@OGMikeysRCRoom]

I think it's a fight between redcat and hobbyplus for #1 ranking. Fms IMO has fallen off. Let's see what 2025 has to bring for the micro scene!

[@2fmrc]

@@OGMikeysRCRoom I agree. FMS has really been focusing on a lot of other things lately but I’m sure a new Micro will be coming this year. Just a guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@JeepBully]

I purchased one scx24 and built it up. The other 10-15 I have I’ve built. I recently picked up the redcat scout ascent since I wanted the body and heard good things about them out the box. It’s really disappointing out the box and wish I would’ve waited for this. For the extra 30-40$. This seems way better vehicle. Again I build most mine. So maybe unfair comparisons. But may grab one of these hobbyplus rigs. We’ll see, have had really poor luck with anything furitek built. Motors and escs yes, have been good. Their RTRs have been straight garbage in build quality. Plus their warranty is some of the worst around is you’re not a KZbinr

[@Bonitacreekrcs]

Bushings😤 WHY?🤦‍♂️

[@2strokeboys191]

Cheaper and essentially maintenance free, bushings lube themselves.

[@2fmrc]

@@Bonitacreekrcs yeah I prefer bearings myself but most of the time I don’t have an issue with the bushings. The Trx4m & old Panda seemed to have a lot of binding from them but all the others I’ve had with them have been fine.

[@shredcraftrc]

Increased profit margins.

[@jimbo4203]

Bushings=low maintenance

[@shredcraftrc]

@ it’s also a business not a charity, so profit margins. Shielded bearings are far superior in every single way. Friction creates heat and kills motors.

[@ThatCountrykid07]

There’s too much slop in the drivetrain for me to buy one

[@thatprcrawlerguy187]

Bushings 😏
