The HobbyPlus CR-18P ARKTOS 6X6 is a 1/18-scale six-wheel-drive trail truck built for slow crawling and backyard adventuring. It stands out with a remote two-speed transmission, remote-switched LED lights with five modes, and a working rear recovery winch, all controlled from the included FlySky radio. The V1.5 update keeps the same chassis but refreshes the electronics so a brushless ESC and motor can plug into the existing receiver without a new radio. It suits hobbyists who want scale detail and gadgetry in a small, indoor-friendly crawler rather than raw speed.

Owners and reviewers describe the Arktos 6X6 as unusually fun and versatile for its size, and it has been singled out among budget crawlers. The remote two-speed gearbox, lights and winch get most of the praise.
The HobbyPlus Arktos 6x6 V1.5 is a 6x6 RC crawler with an ABS molded hard body and an injection molded flatbed. The flatbed has adjustable wheel chocks and collapsible side rails for larger loads. The body includes retractable side mirrors, windshield wipers, a sun visor, side marker lights, blinkers, low and high beams, an LED off-road light bar, a bull bar and tinted windows. Deployable, storable access ramps are included.
The truck rides on 60mm MT tires mounted on blacked-out beadlock wheels. It has an anodized aluminum main chassis frame, metal-geared high-clearance portal axles, servo-on-axle (SOA) steering, oil-filled threaded big bore shocks and HD plastic driveshafts. A high-torque 280-size brushed motor drives it through a two-speed transmission with sintered metal gears. An anti-roll bar is included for handling and load stability, and the user installs it.
The FlySky 6-channel transmitter controls the two-speed transmission, the rear recovery winch and the LED lights, which have 5 modes. The ESC is built so a brushless motor and ESC system can be added as a plug-and-play upgrade. The existing transmitter and receiver keep working, and no lighting wiring needs to change.
