10:30 dayum! wasn't expecting it to make that! great little rig out of the box it appears
This seems to be a huge upgrade from the CR18 harvest I bought a year or so ago. The drive train fell apart immediately and the shocks were somewhat welded to the chassis 😵💫. IMO The best mini crawler money can buy is the Cayman Prooooooooooow. Great video homie!

that is cool adam and for the price metal drivetrain great for the kids another cool vid u explain every perfect not to much but u always explain what needs covering never get sick of watching your builds or reviews coming from someone that been into the hobby for over 20 years now welldone and greatwork thanks again
Thanks for the review on the Harvest. You are doing a great job. Love your blue power wagon, just sick for a toy.
Looks fun and so beautiful. I will overland with this, I ordered one 😂. Thanks for the info. I’m new and had no ideas of this was a decent one to pick up.
A real bargain the EVO with this prize! I bought the Van and Ranger 5 Months ago and they so amazing fun to crawl! Now i wait for my EVO Harvest and later to get EVO gearbox Motor spare part for my old CR-18P to upgrade. Maybe also build a 6x6 with the third outdrive of the EVo gearbox.
Looks really good, sits a little high but seems like it has a lot of potential for mods and upgrades
I’m excited for these. My rockvan is my second favorite after my trx4m (only Becuase I put way to much into it). Ordered an orange T hunter evo as soon as it was available.

I get the front brass wheeladapter also on my Van and Ranger and with the the Injora 5S and RC4WD Mud Slinger the expierence are amazing on this littel Trucks.
I think it is it has a lot of potential
It climbs exceptionally Good LCG and weight distribution 🤩
Can’t wait till upgrade video
there really making me want one!
It looks good and has really nice features. And at that price point is a real contender in the micro crawlers field. I’m just having fun with my fcx24 k5 though. I just got new tires for it and that made a real big difference in its crawling manners. I think I just may have to go to work and make some inner wheel weights out of brass or bronze and I think my K5 would really be a beast.

Lost one Mirror (found and fixed) and lost one Lightbar glass (never found) but i doo very hard outdoor trails and some brutal long roll downs. My newest breakage the front driveshaft.but i love the Truck for his capabillities!
Hello Adam, i wanted to know if you can help me, is it possibel to put the two speed tranmission and servo, on the cr18p trail hunter (the olde one)? and if the original eletronics suports the intal of the new servo ?
Awesome video Adam 👍😁

I am so glad i have found you and your Channel! I am pretty new to this Hobby and now have ordered my first scx 24 😄 your channel gives me the best introduction possible. I have found an axle set i am really curious about. Is there anway you could look into that?

Awesome! Thank you! Which axle set are you looking at? There are lots of choices.
Looks great except the front articulation seem to be less than the non eve model. Any Idea if this will improve if moving the servo to the axle ? Any other ideas on how to improve this ( issue ?) . thanks

The shocks are super stiff. I think they could function better with no springs or shorter springs. It's possible that the SOA conversion could help
Can’t wait to see what Injora comes up with for these!

Adam, have you done a video on the upgrades on for the Hobby Plus CR18P EVO Harvest crawler.
I saw that. have you done any upgrades on it yet.
adam if u have time to answer this do u now if the furitek power wagon has the 2 speed in it
I would like to see a budget build on this.
I’m curious if the 2 speed trans would be easily modified to a dig feature.

A CR24P Evo would be amazing!
Put the same Budget on it as on the TRX4m And lets see if it can beat it. Looks like a good competitor if you ask me.
I'm surprised the suspension seems not to move while crawling. Springs too strong or any other issue in the link system ? Same Rx/ESC box as the first version ? Do you feel a difference in low speed control now the motor is a 130 class ? Thanks for this video.👍

Just be careful with that. On the EVO, you'll need to find a place to relocate the ESC when you install the SOA mount. On the original CR18P, it fits easily.

@@TrokaRC yeah the stock shocks don’t do much to help it. But their $30 oil shocks with no springs or a cut down spring are really good and increase stability and articulation a bunch. The stock tires are pretty good for an rtr. They just need a little break in time and a little bit of weight and they grab damn near everything.
