In this video I transform our existing hobby plus Cr18p trail hunter into an evo. Hobby plus now offers all of the components necessary to do this conversion, but beware, there are more pieces needed to complete the conversion than you may think. I learned this the hard way but the end result was worth it!

I get ya man, I’ve been there. Now I bought the evo but still your machine is great! Great video and awesome commentary.

@underarockandstuff 10 месяцев назад

"We wrestled this abomination into existence" was perfect. Sometimes thats exactly how it goes. Some silly little thing dont add up and bam... You're re-engineering every little part. Relatible!

@CPRC23 10 месяцев назад

I've always loved the unimog. Now you've inspired two builds in one week, I don't know if I can afford to keep watching you😂 keep up the good work! Love your builds and love the channel! 🤘😎

Looks great ...the hump back lives

@onemanmayhem 10 месяцев назад

Thanks a million, Adam! I was looking how HP was putting the servo on axel, and had my concerns about articulation. I removed the esc/servo plate, separated the servos part of it and connect that straight to axel with tiny 0.5mm Steel sheet where I had drilled 2.5mm holes for the screws. Placed the servo upside down, lengthwise so there is good space for swinging servo... Except the bumper/chassis supporting part, which needs some re-placement.

This is the next big upgrade for my CR24P. Thanks for making a very detailed video on the install. Gives me plenty to think about and ponder if it’s even possible.

@harryfp1494 4 месяца назад

If you have a 1/24 throw some 1/18 axles on it and make a beast little crawler

@QuinnsRC 10 месяцев назад

Very impressed that you go through it with a working RC that hadn't been punted across the yard, LOL.

@harryfp1494 4 месяца назад

I watched this video last night and I have been wanting the evo pro but instead I got a used rock van off mercari today and a lcg chassis . I’m just going to make it work for me for cheaper . I built a ecx barrage years ago that was cr-18 axles and man it’s great so I’m sure this will be to

@harryfp1494 4 месяца назад

I have a ecx barrage 1/24 scale with cr-18 original axles on it and man it’s a beast . The guys at the shop always ask me what it is

@fishn365 10 месяцев назад

I recieved the Builders Edition for my bday. I'm gonna go with a Unimog brown orange color for the body, yellow(diesel)fuel cans. I also will be adding the battery inside the cab, and hiding the power switch in the bed box. As well as making a body mod using magnets.

@raulferreira8273 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so mush for this videio, i had teh same problem!

@RCCrawlerz209 10 месяцев назад

Hey, building your truck is worth it, some times, even when you see some of these guys build these 10 scale comp rigs, are built on their own. & The end result is rewarding. ✌🏻

@sebo-Kids-RC 10 месяцев назад

Nice project love that video, but there is a t-Hunter Upgrade Mode and for Havester and Van an other.... my Personal hint is, use your Stock Trx4m Motor plug and play and it gets close to ultimate

@VS666 10 месяцев назад

those tires look really bad ass, great build but yeah i get your reservations

@stefan-norge 10 месяцев назад

Man, you are a patient guy. Due to lack of time I had just bought an Evo 😂😂😂 To be serious: very interesting content and the orange color and tire size is perfect, couldn’t be better!

@CapeCrawlers 10 месяцев назад

I started this project thinking it would be a great one to work on while I was waiting for some others. Quickly realized I was in over my head but was committed at that point!

@Sparroh 3 дня назад

I’m doing the same conversion now, 😂

@andrewrichey7374 10 месяцев назад

@RCHOBBYSUBSCRIBE 10 месяцев назад

I love the color💪💪💯💯

@Matt-it8jh 10 месяцев назад

I feel like you just went through what I have with my redcat. Lots of trial and error still not quite finished lots of I'll say finessed parts. But I feel like my rc knowledge and abilities have been benefited by it. Plus I bet my redcat would walk some other builds lol.

@RoncoGarage 10 месяцев назад

If I were you, I would install a rear steering axle. Maybe not with the same range/angle of the front one...just to have more steering (and better handling?)

@erictaylor1076 10 месяцев назад

I bought the orange Evo T-hunter. I removed the esc to get mor travel on front shocks. I figured I tape in the cab after I got the body on. This is only my second rc. I gave up and posted my evo for sale before finishing the sol swap. I couldn’t get the axel lined up right. I may try and finish it now. With no direction I was too lost to finish. I was thinking I would by the ascx24 c/10 and injora tarantula!

@erictaylor1076 10 месяцев назад

Your video was huge help!!! I got mine back together. Im still selling it but at least I won’t take a hit on it.

@georgeparsons6632 10 месяцев назад

Still like the green body better. But I know orange is one of ur favorite colors I believe. Think I heard u say that. LoL

@CapeCrawlers 10 месяцев назад

My son was furious at me for changing the green!

@traviscoombes3578 10 месяцев назад

I built 2 SCX24 Bronco's, one for me and my son, and it made me go to 1/10, lol. I'm a mechanic by trade, so it's not that they are hard to build, just way tedious. I can only imagine some of the frustration you have encountered building up so many

@CapeCrawlers 10 месяцев назад

It's a labor of love lol

@lesabre1972 10 месяцев назад

Doesn’t the 2024 EVO have a different frame/chassis?

@LARANUD 10 месяцев назад

Do you think that if I did that transformation with the rock van it would be easier?

@CapeCrawlers 10 месяцев назад

YES the rock van has much more room in the body for the servo so you wouldn't have the hunch back issues. Drive shaft length would still be an issue though, so make sure you order those replacement parts as well.

@AnyAssumptionBanter 10 месяцев назад

I was so looking forward to the Evo. Those I've talked to that have both fcx24 and evo have said the evo lacks torque on low and high speed. The t-hunter has that extended wheel base, great approach/departure angle, and no top heavy hard body... how did they not out shine the fcx. made me sad. Come on Hobby Plus... you can fix this.

@stoff51nissa 8 месяцев назад

le lien des pneus s il vous plait il est enorme avec ces roues j adore ❤

@stoff51nissa 8 месяцев назад

bonjour vous pouvez mettre les liens de la boite a vitesse et du servo je vous remercie 😉

@jaystarmini 10 месяцев назад

Am i right in saying you don't get the servo wire adaptor for the 2 speed to plug into the esc? Just watch to the end and you mentioned it. Were sells that item anyways?

@CapeCrawlers 10 месяцев назад

That’s correct. The kit did not come with the adapter and I can’t find anywhere to buy it separately. My next step is emailing fair RC directly to see how I can get one

@jaystarmini 10 месяцев назад

@@CapeCrawlers did the same and they told me no they don't have any. I have a mystery machine rock van and wanted to 2 speed this. Maybe should've bought the evo van and swap body's just lol 😆

@hansnsnananna3933 5 месяцев назад

I just completed the 2-speed conversion on my Rock Van Builders kit. Is it normal for the chassis frame to bend when I shift gears? I've tried different positions for the Servohorn and adjusted the trimming, but the chassis frame still bends.

@CapeCrawlers 5 месяцев назад

I would say there is some tension somewhere in that shift mechanism

@axellness 10 месяцев назад

which wheels are you using and how do you get them not to rub the portal axles?

@CapeCrawlers 10 месяцев назад

These are injora stamped steel beadlocks: amzn.to/3Yxf6Qy When you run them reversed with the deep dish on the outside you get ~4mm of extra width and it bumps the wheel away from the portals

@axellness 10 месяцев назад

@@CapeCrawlers thx dude

@braelighty6212 10 месяцев назад

Sounds dumb, but I haven’t bought one because of the turn signals or is that the van only?

@CapeCrawlers 10 месяцев назад

Van only, this one does not have the turn signals.

@9tdiy360 10 месяцев назад

@vdel9036 10 месяцев назад

Nice job ! Incredible how orange color is able to save such an ugly cab.😄 Same electronic box as the first version ? If so, how do you feel this 130 motor on slow speed ? As good as the FCX24 ?

@CapeCrawlers 10 месяцев назад

The slow speed is great. As good as the FCX in my opinion. The entire system feels just like the FCX but maybe slightly smoother.
