Hobbyplus ARKTOS 6X6 Yellow Body/Gray Rear Bed

It’s really Awsome to see a RC company give us the 6x6 that we all wanted, a working flat bed hauler , working winch!! This rig is great. Out of the box the 6x6 is very capable, the two speed works flawlessly and the lights are a fully added bonus with full control.
For a 1/18 6x6 this is it. I liked it so much I got both color ways!!! 6x6 box truck build here I come!!!

Great car but will be 5 stars once they send out the drive shaft and links

very nice rc truck. crawls very well for a 6 wheel long wheel base rc. Love the looks.
runs very nice. However after 15 min of use the rear drive axle broke. Direct RC sent the upgraded shafts which are a larger/stronger. difficult to install. would have like some hints on the install. had to take the bed off, motor, rear bumper.

First time owning a Hobby Plus, but I am very happy with this truck. I was worried that it would have a hard time on my indoor course, but it was a BLAST cruising it around.
It climbed over everything and has a good steering throw and turning radius. I am so happy with this purchase, I am already planning my next Hobby Plus Truck.
Thank you helidirectshop.com for the awesome service!

Love the truck, upgraded links and driveshafts arrived a few days later, can’t wait to start doing some mods to it and make it truly my own.

Very happy with Helidirect! Customer support is amazing and fast response on questions, keep up the good work!

Great vehicle, thanks for sending the improved axle links as they are definitely needed.

Saw this thing being reviewed and I knew I had to have it. I’ve been waiting for this exact concept for so long, I just about went built my own custom rig. This is so close to what I would have done if it had been up to me. Thanks Hobby Plus for listening to the fans and thanks HeliDirect for the deal. Got upgraded links and everything. This rig is better than anything else in the 1/18 scale because of the kit it comes with and at the price point.

First off, just got it, love it, made undignified noises as I towed my TRX4M on to the back and drove over rough terrain. All that is great! That said, within 5 minutes the very back axle's driveshaft popped out, necessitating removing wheels, suspension links, resetting the driveshaft and then putting everything back together. Seems fine now but I did get an email about driveshaft upgrades, and since I'm one of the first wave of customers to get mine, wondering if that applied.

Either way this thing is SICK and I'm giggling while playing with it.

I recently had the pleasure of testing out the new HobbyPlus CR18P 6x6 Arktos Flatbed RC Rock Crawler, and I have to say—this recovery truck is amazing! HobbyPlus has truly outdone themselves with this one, delivering a blend of scale realism and robust performance that is hard to beat.

Performance:
Right out of the box, the Arktos impresses with its 6x6 drivetrain, providing incredible traction and stability over even the toughest terrain. Whether you’re navigating rocky trails, mud, or steep inclines, this truck handles it all with ease. The 2-speed transmission is a game-changer, allowing for both slow, controlled crawls and faster cruising when needed.

Design:
The attention to detail on the Arktos is phenomenal. From the scale flatbed design to the functional recovery winch, every aspect of this truck is meticulously crafted. The durability of the chassis and body ensures it can take a beating and keep going, making it perfect for those who like to push their RC vehicles to the limit.

Ease of Use:
Even if you’re new to the hobby, the Arktos is user-friendly, with intuitive controls and a setup that doesn’t require much tinkering to get started. The battery life is also commendable, giving you plenty of run time for extended crawling sessions.

Recommendation:
We would highly recommend the HobbyPlus CR18P 6x6 Arktos Flatbed RC Rock Crawler to both beginners and experienced RC enthusiasts alike. It offers a fantastic balance of scale detail, rugged performance, and reliability that is sure to satisfy anyone who loves off-road RC adventures.

In summary, the Arktos 6x6 isn’t just a recovery truck—it’s a top-tier performer that excels in every category. Whether you’re adding to your collection or looking for your next go-to crawler, you can’t go wrong with this one.
