Scale & Motion - RC Crawlers, Micro Upgrades, Model Kits & Scale RC Guides

The HobbyPlus CR18P EVO V2 Rock Van already arrives with an unusually complete mechanical package for a compact 1/18 crawler, including portal axles, metal drivetrain gears, servo-on-axle steering, big-bore oil-filled shocks and a two-speed transmission. Its real long-term strength, however, is the number of Rock Van and CR18P parts available for maintenance, tuning and further customisation.

The HobbyPlus CR18P platform has developed into far more than a single 1/18-scale crawler. Around the Rock Van, Arktos, Terranaut and other CR18P variants sits a substantial parts ecosystem covering drivetrain components, axles, suspension, steering, chassis hardware, wheels, tyres, electronics and replacement body parts.

The FairRC 1/24 FCX24 White Blaze K5 Mod RTR is more interesting when viewed as part of an ecosystem rather than simply as another custom-colour micro crawler. Underneath the white retro-inspired body is the established FMS FCX24 Chevrolet K5 platform, while FairRC and BATRAZZI provide the wheels, tyres, chassis parts, scale accessories and upgrade paths that can take the same vehicle in very different directions.
