The New HobbyPlus CR-18P 2024 T-Hunter V3....Brushless!

[@CK4RC]

$180 is a solid price point for this! Well done Hobby Plus & Furitek!

[@QuinnsRC]

Ooh I hope we can retrofit our OG T-Hunters to that hinged system!

[@hyperc5249]

Maybe!?!?

[@MrsRabbit8]

The new features on this are the tipping point for me, definitely gonna wanna get one.

[@hyperc5249]

💯 This is a totally different rig with these upgrades. I wanted one anyway. But now that It's this good it's a must have in the 18th scale class.

[@shortylux]

Hello. Thanks for the vid. I want to trail and crawl, never comp. Should I go Evo Pro or 2024? Worried about the single speed transmission on the 2024 not having enough range. Any advice appreciated!

[@hyperc5249]

@shortylux The Evo Pro is more weather resistant and has the 2 speed. So I think that makes more since for what you want to do.

[@shortylux]

@@hyperc5249 Thankyou! Really appreciate the reply.

[@quadrogafpv230]

hopefully, next content is overview of lizard lite plus programming tutorials :) nice video @hype rc

[@hyperc5249]

Dude. It comes out today. Good call.

[@1011coreymathews]

The driveshaft on mine snapped and I want to replace it but I’m not sure with what…😔😔Do you have any idea what metal drive shafts might be compatible with this truck?

[@snörre23]

Oh yes the battery box, feel stupid but just spent 10 minutes trying to close this without squeezing and damaging wires. Why did they not maket that just slightly bigger. Will 3D print something, unfortunately my CAD skills are not good enough to recreate the look of that original box.

[@hyperc5249]

Or get a smaller battery. It's definitely too tight.

[@RobConant-qb7bi]

Are you able to send me a link for, or tell me how to get that reverse drive system? I'd like to put it into my katana.

[@hyperc5249]

Yes you need the Aluminum V2 rear axle. You can find it at DirectRC.com.

[@DTW-bx2vy]

Save yourself some money & just get the new CR18P v2 plastic rear reverse rotation axle from the 2024 T-Hunter like in this video. It is a direct replacement for a FX118 Fury Wagon, FX118 Katana, CR18P Evo Pro, & older CR18P Evo models that uses the 2-speed transmission that has the reverse rotation output shaft on the transmission.

[@ka4172]

Lost water proofness with brushless?

[@hyperc5249]

That air is a good point. I didn't even think about that. I don't trail most of my 18th scale rigs so it slipped past me. We'll done.

[@georgeparsons6632]

Whens the release date? Can't find it anywhere.

[@hyperc5249]

Mid June. I would look for the pre-sale to be coming soon.

[@dogfish8594]

Where will i be able to pre order from

[@hyperc5249]

DirectRC.com

[@Sparroh]

What about the Rushmore, is that new?

[@hyperc5249]

Yes. It is the exact same platform with a different body. I actually like the T-Hunter better. LOL, I hate body clips!

[@JUSTHAVEFUNRC]

Sort of. There was the cr18 Rushmore with straight axles. It’s now been refreshed for this.

[@Havingoneofthosedays-]

I can’t find it 🤔

[@hyperc5249]

It hasn't come out yet. Releases mid-June. Keep an eye on the site. It will.go up for preorder soon.

[@carloshnunez]

Very nice 🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵

[@RiftboardsSwitzerland]

Why don't these cars comes with ballbearings?

[@hyperc5249]

They don't weigh that much, and it keeps the cost down. This is also a trail rig, so it won't rust. The Traxxas TRX4M doesn't either. The only ones I know that do are the Furitek Cayman and Redcat Ascent 18. Those are specifically listed as crawlers and not trail rigs.

[@AnySumptionBanter]

i was disappointed by previous versions; weak motor, poor gearing ratio and lots of slop, where the battery goes, and the body was impossible to remove. so, the body hinge was added (awesome), torque twist being addressed (awesome), new motor/esc (great). All the other stuff is nice, but not necessary. Didn't see drag break and how much slop... furitek and hp rigs have historically had the worst slop and not great drag break; like one rig (i think its the fury wagon) taking 8+ turns of motor before wheels move is terrible. so now furitek is doing what ascent did with the fusion; a 'lite' version of their esc and that's going backwards in the hobby in the we should always be getting brushless... but then again, this is an RTR so lots to replace and this isn't a value for your $; far more cons than discussed in this video.

[@DTW-bx2vy]

The CR18P platform may have slop in the drive train but the CR18P platform performance is far above the compition & performance is what actually counts.

[@AnySumptionBanter]

@@DTW-bx2vy please define what u mean by competition. I'd love to debate. Comparing it to say the ascent18 or an fms18/24 HP actually didn't fix their torque twist as it just flipped to the passenger side. The other two don't have that problem. The slop is the worst of its competitors. The electronics are available to all its competitors which are cheaper in price. The gear ratios are diff and the link system is design for better composure and balance between sidehill ascend and descend. The mounting and ease of changing electronics location is also better on its competitors. These new chassis also look pinched in the front and if so that Will make it hard for aftermarket shocks and servos. Why do I complain? Because I love the look of the t hunter and am looking forward to the day it gets done right.

[@il_DonGelato]

​@@AnySumptionBanteryou are absolutely right. Though I like the brushed motor Setup in the T Hunter EVO. Very smooth and powerful.

[@snörre23]

Just received mine and very disappointed, the transition from a very slow crawl to much higher speed is very abrupt. None of my other furitek items does this. Useless for crawling. And i really wanted to use that ready to run, i do mods on my SCX24s, now if i have to buy a new motor and esc for that the price is over 300. Not what i had planned. Not even sure what will fit this.

[@hyperc5249]

I wouldn't get a new motor. Just try a better ESC.

[@snörre23]

@@hyperc5249 Ok, i could quickly drop in a phython i have here. That venom motor also gets really hot after two minutes, like a cooking plate.

[@hyperc5249]

@@snörre23 OK. Make sure you have the ESC updated and switch to the venom motor in the app.

[@snörre23]

@@hyperc5249 Yep, perfect, not running hot and smooth transition. I wonder what they thought selling it with that lizard light. Also why there are several videos out showing it running very smooth, i ordered it based on that.

[@il_DonGelato]

T Hunter is very cool but a bad construction. I have the EVO Version and tried everthing to make it capable. Forget it, too top heavy. Buy an EVO Pro. Better basis to improve imo

[@hyperc5249]

This one comes with the EVO chassis, shock, and transmission, and it's brushless. The EVO doesn't come with the counter rotation rear axle, and this does. Did you watch the video? You are comparing your old T-Hunter to the EVO. Not the new 2024. The T-Hunter is also a trail rig, and the EVO is a comp crawler. So it's not even apples to apples.

[@il_DonGelato]

Maybe. But the Chassis is the same. Looks cool but ... 😕 By the way: you should geht a white turning table, no offence. Thanks for the Video!

[@hyperc5249]

@il_DonGelato I hear you. The chassis is not the same, tho. It's an aluminum CNC chassis with a 5 degree angled skid and multiple shock mounting locations. Why a white turn table? Lighting?

[@il_DonGelato]

@@hyperc5249 Most of the chassis and parts are black. You can't see them on your black table.
