Overview

The Hobby Plus CR-18 Convoy has the unmistakable lines of classic American pickup trucks — with chrome wheels and attractive colours to select from, the Convoy is a Hobby Plus bestseller. Mini 1/18 rock crawlers are loved by the RC community for their compact size and capable performance, and the CR-18 is a front-runner in this category, known for its realistic scale looks and highly capable chassis.

Featuring a 2S LiPo system, the CR-18 uses its super high-torque gearbox to drive soft grippy tyres for crawling performance superior to most competitors. As a hobby grade truck, the CR-18 includes features found almost exclusively on large 1/10 scale trucks: 2S waterproof electronics, 3-wire servo, 2.4GHz proportional control system, high-torque gearbox, and robust pinion gearing.

Note

Refer to the product manual for specific waterproof standards and precautions.
