In this thrilling episode of RC Driver 2, we embark on an exhilarating indoor mini crawling Adventure at the esteemed Hobby Center in New Town, Connecticut. Our eyes are fixated on the latest iteration of the Hobby Plus CR1 18P Hunter crawler, a beast packed with upgrades, including a formidable brushless system. Unveiling the truck reveals a plethora of enhancements such as super soft tires, an Evo transmission, and a robust aluminum chassis that screams durability. The attention to detail is impeccable, with LED lights, a utility rack, and a 5-degree angled skid plate that promises unmatched performance on any terrain.
As we delve deeper into the features of this mean machine, we are greeted with a Fly Sky Radio System, plush suspension, and a portal axle that exudes confidence in tackling obstacles with finesse. The truck's underdrive rear, all-metal gears, and single-speed transmission setup underscore its prowess in the crawling world. However, a minor gripe surfaces in the form of a noisy transmission setup, hinting at the potential need for additional weight to optimize traction and performance.
Navigating the challenging course at the Hobby Center, the CR1 18P Hunter showcases its impressive slow crawl capabilities, precise steering angle, and adept clearance thanks to the angled skid plate. The truck effortlessly conquers obstacles, demonstrating its prowess and agility in the crawling domain. Priced at a reasonable $159.99, this brushless marvel offers exceptional value with its metal transmission and oil-filled shocks, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking a thrilling crawling experience.
