The CR18P has become a cornerstone in the 1/18 crawler market. In just two years, it has reached its third generation, keeping pace with the fast-moving segment. By listening to customer feedback and constantly innovating, this latest version delivers refined performance and features that make it a top contender—now at an even lower price.

The heart of any crawler is its power system. Without something strong, reliable, and versatile, the chassis simply can’t deliver its best performance. That’s why the CR18P V3 Rushmore comes with a 2S–3S-capable setup, giving drivers more power options, driving styles, and the ability to take on tougher terrain.

Another standout update is the 27% rear underdrive, achieved with a revised ring and pinion gear. While some might call this “front overdrive,” the front axle gearing remains the same as the 2024 version—so technically, it’s rear underdrive. The result is faster rotation up front, creating extra grip and a more planted feel on climbs, giving you better control and predictability.

And perhaps the best part—it’s all available for just $ 280 AUD. For a ready-to-run portal axle, full metal gear, brushless scale crawler, the CR18P V3 Rushmore offers one of the best price-to-performance ratios in its class.
