Hobbytech launches CRX18 – 1/18 scale mini crawler based on the CRX

released suggested_select Hobbytech SNU fit: 45/100

Hobbytech CRX-based crawler line matches the brand's strongest historical pattern (CRX2 variants have been featured repeatedly), and the CRX18 is a new product line extension with detailed specs suggesting a genuine launch. However, NEWNESS is marked 'unclear' with only a low-confidence first_seen date, so per Rule 1 the score must be capped at 45 despite strong on-theme fit and brand affinity.

Hobbytech launches CRX18 – 1/18 scale mini crawler based on the CRX

Hobbytech-rc introduces the CRX18, a 1/18 scale reproduction of its flagship CRX crawler, built like a scaled-down 1/10 model with a metal beam chassis, central transmission with low-mounted motor, and dual axles linked by 4 links each. It features a 3-wire micro steering servo mounted AMS-style on the front axle, a 55T brushed motor, an all-in-one receiver/ESC module with 9 ports for lighting including working LED headlights, and a 2S 600mAh battery. The body replicates the CRX2's axle design, grille, jerrican, snorkel, wipers, mirrors, and Climber-pattern tires. Available in BL, GR, OR, and WH color variants.
