I like the adjustability of the shocks. That’s done well.

Yeah it's a nice feature isn't it. Adds to your value for money too as then you can tune it how you want. 👍

I love mine! Can't wait to see what you do to it! I put the Furitek Cedar and Python pro in mine. Then a bunch of brass, high clearance links,metal axles, Holmes Hobbies servo and run on 3s.

Sounds like a beast. My first mods are definitely going to be wheels and tyres, then I think brass next. 👍

I feel in love with the Axial AX24 and modded it to near LCG rig. Almost bought an new furitek setup and then I saw this. I wish I seen this a week ago. Now I have to save up for a second rig. 😈
@DoURC Ай бұрын
Yeah I was considering the AX24 but saw bad reviews. Saw this at that price and seemed a no brainer. With a few simple upgrades I reckon it'll be a beast. 👍

@@DoURCyeah everyone else has done the brush version. I had decided to buy the Evo pro based on those and decided to check Aliexpress and found the brushless version and was super excited! I ordered it a couple days ago and it was on sale for $155 and then I had a a coupon that brought it down to 115! Unbeatable deal and it's my first crawler. I am so excited! By the way, I love your videos, I have a question for you. I'm thinking about getting the FCX 18 for a scale crawler. Would you suggest that or another 18 scale range?
@DoURC Ай бұрын
@katelynnroberts2643 Oh wow, that's an excellent saving, absolute bargain for this rig. Nice first crawler too. 👍 Yeah I really like the FCX18, prefer the LC80 over the K10. Personally I think the FCX18 is the best value and performing 18th scale rig, that's actually scale. With a few simple upgrades they're awesome. Some people have had issues, I've had none other than power switch with my LC80, but had drive train issues with my K10. Still better than a trx4m imo though. 👍 Hope that helps and thanks. 👍

Hi Rob. The stock tyres are actually pretty good. Its the foam inserts that are way to hard. I'm running RCAWD 1.2" wheels and I stretched Injora 1" foams inside. Total transformation! P.S. The sticker that you have left over is actually for the rear bed.
@DoURC Ай бұрын
Thanks very much 👍 Yeah they seemed OK, definitely better tyres out there though. I've ordered some new Injora tyres so will give those a try when they turn up. 👍
@markrance4459 Ай бұрын
@@DoURC I'm also running Injora 1.3" wheels and Swamp claws outside and the stock tyres on inside stuff. Plenty of grip and grab onto almost anything. I might give the Cling ons a try soon.
@DoURC Ай бұрын
@markrance4459 How do you rate the stock tyres vs the Swamp Claws?
@markrance4459 Ай бұрын
@@DoURC The stock tyres and the Swamp Claws are pretty even on dry rocks and my indoor course. The stock tyres might just edge it. Any mud, algae, moss or damp, the Swamp Claws are way ahead! They have such an aggresive lug pattern they will grab onto any protrusion and they clear mud pretty well if you spin them up (stock tyres clog pretty badly). I used Injora foams from 62mm King trekkers, as I had replaced the foams with the Injora silcone inserts on my FTX Unimog. I already had the RCAWD wheels, as they were on the Unimog as well. I watched a couple of videos on the Evo pro from other KZfaqrs who said the tyres were good but they need softer foams, so I just gave it a go and was really surprised how good they were. Really hope this helps.

@markrance4459 Thanks very much, that's great. I'll try give them a go then. Ordered some new Injora tyres to try too anyway. 👍

I like the stock width, gives it nice side stability. I've upgraded the wheels and tyres on mine too and it's even more capable now. For the money I don't think you can get a better performing mini crawler right now. 👍

But now, This or the fx118 katana brushless?
@DoURC 19 күн бұрын
I haven't tried the FX118 Katana, but if you look at it, I believe they share the same Hobbyplus chassis and Furitek electronics. So really the only difference is the wheels, tyres and body. Personally I'd choose the CR18P Evo Pro over the Katana. The Katana to me is like a kind of middle ground to scale and performance but I'm not fussed on the look. 👍

I have the evo pro and the furitek katana and there great the katana is not quite as good out of the box but it’s decent
