Hobbyplus Cr-18p pro 2025 Questions

I guess this is a fix thread... wish it was a build thread so I could enter twice for that micro b lol

There are a few different companies making direct mount servos for the small truck. But yeah, they're awesome servos from what I have seen. If 2FMRC says they're good, he's not just saying that for free stuff.

I ordered the torq direct mount servo. Good deal from helidirect. Ordered the aluminum suspension links also.

I'm sure you will like it.

So that truck has the Mini24 Hobbywing brushless ESC in it. Capable of 7.4v. Make sure you set it to that so you push that servo a little better. The servo likely can handle 8.0-8.4v, but not knowing which exact one ya got, I'm not 100%.

And MAKE SURE you set the servo endpoints. You will have to find out how to do that with that radio. Maybe @Doom! knows?

What would be the benefit of pushing the servo?

The more voltage you send to the servo, the faster it is, and the more torque it has. Post a link here to the servo you bought.

That is what I thought. I don't think it needs to be any faster.

Ok, yeah, as I figured, that is an 8.4v servo. Your ESC can go up to 7.4v. So I would run it at 7.4v. It will actually pull less amps at 7.4 than it will at 6v. Everything will be happier there

As I said. Just make sure the endpoints are set correctly, so you don't burn up your new servo.

Will I need this Torq Tbox programmer?

Not sure if that servo you bought has that feature. I've never used them. Maybe you can use that programmer on the minis as well

Traditionally, you would set the servo horn as centered as you can, and tighten the horn down. Then use your radio's steeting trim to dial in zero.

What model number is that radio again? I will look up how to set your endpoints.

The servo is TORQ MLS-1024

No, I got that. I need your radio model.

Flysky

Ok. On that radio, you're just going to use the ST D/R knob to set your endpoints.

Center the steering with the steering trim first. Then turn your D/R knob down. Hold the steering one direction and turn the ST D/R knob back up until you see the steering stop moving. Then back it off a little. The steering linkage should be loose with the steering fully turned. Then turn the wheels the other direction and check again and adjust again. Double check both directions for bind, and lower that knob til you have none. I would then mark that spot so you know if it gets moved. That way you don't burn up your servo.

Any way to lock those points. I can definitely see my kid not realizing not to touch that.

Probably what that Tbox is for....a little more control over everything.

Not unless you glue the knob

My suggestion would be to get a Flysky GT3B and use that instead. It's all digital, and the endpoints are much better because you can set each side individually.

I don't think your servo has those features. Only on the bigger servos from what I can tell. But ya never know. Might ask Helidirect about it.

 

[Guest D]

Maybe I'll just stay with the stock hobbyplus. Probably much less expensive. I'll save that servo for a project later.

You still want to check those endpoints

I have a number of RTR radios on my smaller stuff. I don't worry about it too much. When I fire them up after the remote has been tossed around, I simply check the steering linkage for binding and give it a quick adjustment. Don't worry about it too much man. Stick that servo in there.

Ok. He'll probably get it and hopefully not smoke a servo. He's been much smother and has more finesse than when he first killed the transmission gears

Just get you a paint pen and put a little line on the radio so you can quickly set the DR back if it gets moved

I'm putting these aluminum arms in. One thing I noticed was the bushings that are installed aren't exactly correct for the setup. They need to be fit as needed with the extras that came with it. As an example, this bushing came flipped but needs to be this way for clearance between the shock and frame rail.

Another thing I was thinking about while I put the rear arms in. The orings on those bushings.......anyone running one oring? Or is it best to run two, one on each side? The links seam tight with two.

Otherwise I think it's going to be nice that the links aren't going to bend like stock. The clearance is nice also.
