Thank you for all of your videos! Its really informative. One thing i wish your videos have are info that stays on screen to keep track of all stats.

More power! Loving this build and the T hunter is my next purchase.

@derekhaumesser2594 Год назад

Nice rig man! Always a T Hunter fan!!

@paristo 4 месяца назад

Planning to buy one, and create a trailer to it. Remove the backup tire from the rear and make a trailer joint there, and then get the trailer to be for a some extra weight for logging or stone transportation.

@andrewrichey7374 Год назад

Yeah looks like a awesome spot to go

@andrewrichey7374 Год назад

Man I love it love those axle housing they look sweet

@ruuster83 Год назад

i LOVE the RCawd 180 motor for my SCX24 Injora buggy build. Tight fit but huge upgrade in slow crawl and top speed , and you can leave the stock ESC. Not quite as good as brushless but for under $50, its a great choice for power. (assuming it'll fit your rig)

@andrewrichey7374 Год назад

Yes they are those are sweet dude

Great video - I have that RCAWD 370 motor/transmission in my SCX24 Gladiator and it has incredible torque while crawling. If you don't want to cut up the T-Hunter to use it - try it in one of your scx24 builds

Trail Hunter/Cr18p RockVan Bulders kit Axles are ideal for a TexomaRC Slayer chassis. Ultimate performace for micro crawlers. 3d printed PETG which is super slippery on the rocks and with just brass wheel rings in the front its at 430g, 160mm wheelbase with the portals and the same super smooth brushed ESC as FCX24. Highly reccomend the Full PRO kit from TexomaRC if you like performance, comes with everything but electronics and axles

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

I'm kicking off my Slayer build soon and because of your comment I am going to use my take-off axles from the T-hunter for the build. I'm excited to get going on it!

@DTW-bx2vy 3 месяца назад

I purchased the RCAWD - CR18P Front Aluminum Knuckles & Brass Portal Covers being I broke the left plastic steering knuckle. I installed the aluminum knuckles but left the brass portal covers off being they added far too much weight to my FX118 Fury Wagon. I like all my small scale comp crawler rigs to be light as it possibly can be. The more weight added the harder it is for rigs to pull the extra weight up inclines & make climbing performance actually decrease in my personal experiences.

@outdoororiginal4364 4 месяца назад

Love your videos.. maybe you could show us how you built your indoor course. I live in the south so we don’t have big rock walls to climb so I will need to build my own course. Thnx.

@jeremymiller2340 Год назад

I'm going to keep tweaking it. We'll see!

@zach3699 Год назад

Wow! So have you figured out which motor will directly swap? Hey.. thanks so much for the quick reply on another video. Subscribed! Also love all the information you provide to the viewer!

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

Thanks Zach! I have yet to figure out the motors. I think it's just too much chassis modification for my taste to get them to work in the T-Hunter.

@zach3699 Год назад

@Cape Crawlers is the original motor still running? It sounded like it may have been struggling. I only ask so many questions, as I'm juggling getting the FMS24 k5, or this 😆 due to the fact you presented it so dang well!

@gibsonlife573 Год назад

Man Texoma RC is always representing these right here in his Slayer chassis combined so I'm going to get the builder kit and put it in a Slayer

I've got the slayer on my bench now. Maybe I'll convert the T-hunter?

@scottbeville4908 Месяц назад

i want to do a mullet build with my t hunter to hopefully make it a great hill climber, and ive watched another video about a mullet build and the differential gear in the portal was flipped to make it spin the correct direction and i believe a fcx 18 portal was used in the rear wirh trx4m in front, is there another 18th scale portal that can be done with? i plan on using a trx4m straight axle in front for ease of overdrive installation

@HONDAJEFF05 Год назад

OMG COOL

@onemanmayhem Год назад

Thanks! I just bought this, and dont get enough of driving it on the rocks! As my first rock crawler, I seem to select quite good, especially to bang for the buck! Have you tried to cut the wheel tread?

@CapeCrawlers 11 месяцев назад

It's a great truck! I have not tried to cut the tread

@bwest6275 Год назад

This is such an amazing build! I’m inspired to plan a similar build. I see on the LRGP site that their wheel accessories are for 1/24. I take it these wheels directly fit without issue here? And for your build, what diameter Swamp King tires did you use (57/64)? Thanks!

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

Thanks! The wheels will bolt right up no problem. I am running the 64mm tires. The t-hunter has plenty of room for big tires

@erictaylor1076 Год назад

I have a Trail hunter evo on the way. Maybe I missed it in the video. Did you say what size tires you ran. I love the look of these tires.

It's in pieces currently. Having a hard time getting my DIY EVO project to function properly. I will revisit it soon enough though

@kevincasey6876 Год назад

Are these the same portal axles that are used on the FCX Power Wagons .

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

No, they’re different housings

@McCowski 2 месяца назад

Does anyone know if any of these upgrades will fit on the furitek fury wagon?

@gibsonlife573 Год назад

I love the axle housings but I also have their axle housings for the fmsfcx-24 Power Wagon and let me say this it is not the greatest because where they put the screw through to hold your rear portal box on and you don't really crank down on that they'll come off I mean your hole axle Tire can come off but other then that there awsome i put my on axles in them have heard alot of bad about there axles shafts breaking any body else

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

I found I had to use a different set of hardware on the FCX24 parts. The portal boxes would not seal because the bolts were too long. Once I got that sorted out it was good. My SCX24 portals have been solid.

@IlhanCanGuven 6 месяцев назад

Have you (or anyone else) had a chance to check out either of the motor combos in the CR18P yet? Would be really interested in how it performs, and I can't seem to find anyone else talking about trying them.

I haven’t been able to get it into the Cr18p yet. I may try the rock van this weekend

@jayfarthing Год назад

@@CapeCrawlers that'd be great if you do get a chance. Would be great to know if they can run on the stock esc and crawl well, maybe with some more speed too!

@americandeadhead5025 Год назад

I'd pick the Rock Van over this. On the van you also bought the motor with gear reduction if I remember right and that slow crawled really well. I was around when anodizing came to BMX parts and the colors and choices are still pretty much the same. We need some new and more modern choices. The bronze Is cool though.

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

The rock van is awesome. You’re right, it has the reduction gearbox and crawls amazing

@joecole6875 Год назад

What colours would be considered modern?

@americandeadhead5025 Год назад

@@joecole6875 Orange, gold, pink, purple and green. I know there are some orange, purple and green parts out but it's a small selection. You can't locate all the parts to accessorize your whole rig.

@raydegarmo780 Год назад

Do these shocks use the same size mounting hardware as an SCX24?

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

They are not. The pivot hardware is bigger I believe

@stunod-RC Год назад

This is where you need to try the Spektrum brushless. The CR18P has about 50% lower gearing than either the SCX or FCX.. just sayin’

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

Love the gearing on this truck

@RudeLubeuk Год назад

I cant decide what to buy to use as a Crawler, please advise what vehicle is best to start with, dont want any bigger than 1/18th. Im happy upgrading everything but whats the best rig to start with/ most potential, just for crawling, thanks🤙

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

Just for crawling? I still feel like the SCX24 is the best if you plan to modify it. There is just so much you can do to it. They're easy to work on, tons of options for parts and customization, and lots of body choices.

@RudeLubeuk Год назад

@CapeCrawlers yes there seems to be tons of stuff for SCX24. I bought a max smasher, love it, but still not many upgrades for it, got a furitek ultimate esc and motor combo on order,think I'll keep it as a basher n want to build a full time Crawler, thanks for replying 🤙 also I really like the look of this unimog, big fan of them in real life. Awww too many decisions 🤔

@boiledtea479 6 месяцев назад

Hi adam, would you recommend me to buy this or a trx4m? I habe around 200 bucks to spend on the car and upgrades.

@CapeCrawlers 6 месяцев назад

That’s a tough question. If you prefer a more scale look, the trx4m is going to give you that with those licensed bodies. Plus you’ll have more upgrades available. But the t-hunter is a great performer and the aftermarket is starting to warm up to this platform. It really comes down to what you like better. Can’t go wrong with either!

@boiledtea479 6 месяцев назад

@@CapeCrawlersI will get the t hunter soon. Im a little short on money and i want to get some upgrades at the start (tires/wheels and maybe shocks or hex extenders, havent decided yet) Also is the transmission stripping still a problem? If so how did you fix it?

@vdel9036 Год назад

630 grams for a 1/18 crawler ! 😳 A RC anvil.😊 I'd bet this wouldn't climb nothing taller than a chocolate bar, but yours still runs great. Maybe you're right. Funny : i upgraded my CR-18T the opposite way. I took off the roll cage & cosmetic accessories to clear and lighten the rear. Now, i can see the chassis and the axle (love this stock nude look). And i put brass rings on the front wheels. It climbs like a chamois, but hates descents...🙄

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

It’s heavy for sure. Surprisingly that motor still does fine. I like your idea of stripping the rear. I may try that

@JUSTHAVEFUNRC Год назад

I think by nature they struggle going down. My minimal mods rockvan looooves to tumble going down steep hills.

@a.fab.antonfabrication2717 Год назад

Did the same. Wheelbase with stripped rear this thing is a monster. We made it as a dually to tow but this thing crawled with our real rigs. Bumper is the biggest obstacle but it’s there for a reason and easy to navigate the rocks enough.

@gibsonlife573 Год назад

I think there is a couple different company that are really targeting Crawlers axial and Traxxas both build good cars but I mean trucks that come out specially for just crawling low geared high RPM but of torque and in my opinion that is a mess and now this hobbypark CR 18p Texoma told me about this how good it is

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

I really like what FMS and Hobby Plus are doing. They're trying hard to innovate I feel.

@JUSTHAVEFUNRC Год назад

RCAWD did this with the fms scale trucks. IMO it’s lazy engineering to just make a skidplate and use the same scx24 transmission. The engineers/designers at hobbyplus made the effort to keep a compact and low slung transmission. And with great success.

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

I was bummed out when I realized it was just repurposed SCX parts. I'm happy with the other upgrades though.

@stunod-RC Год назад

IMO, you dodged a bullet by not mounting that motor/gearbox.. RCAWD uses the SCX gearbox which is about 12:1 reduction. The CR18P has a 51:1 gearbox!! That’s why it crawls so good. Overall ratio is 157:1, that’s slower than the FMS low gear.. most Ring and pinions are about 3:1, while the SCX worm is 8:1 stock, which offsets the lack of gearbox reduction. SCX gearbox with CR18P axles is like putting it in 5th gear and trying to crawl. Axel (Axle?), your son, will love it for jumping and trailing.

@CapeCrawlers Год назад

That’s great info! I’m happy with the power train as it is. Although I know hobby plus is releasing a new version of this soon that will have a bigger motor and two speed gearbox…

@nataliegregsamarge6449 Год назад

@@CapeCrawlers AWESOME videos! Sorry can you share more about the 2 speed gearbox? It's really the only thing stopping me from getting the Hunter, I love the 2-speed options so if they're coming out with one that makes a huge difference! Thanks for all your hard work!
