FURITEK CAYMAN PRO V2 4X4 1/18 PREMIUM RC CRAWLER W/ TX/RX ORANGE VERSION

I purchased the Cayman pro V2 with hopes that I could run it at my local comps out of the box in the stock/ no mod class. Upon unboxing I found the plastic ESC to be DOA and esc’s enclosure to be cracked and hanging loose. Informed Helidirect and they took care of that issue by sending a replacement esc. Once i received the replacement ESC i installed it along with a freshly charged 80/160c 3s lipo, and hit the rocks. Immediately I noticed the play in the portal axles. Severe back and forth play when breaking/cresting over top of rocks, which makes being precise through gates very difficult. I had to take the truck home and spend a few hours on shimming and reducing slop in axles. Back out to the rocks and after about 10 mins of light lines, I noticed the truck being very jerky and jumpy when the ESC would transition out/into FOC. Again making it very difficult to be precise in a comp setting. I have spent days trying each revision of firmware, nothing seems to smooth the transition in/out of FOC. I did also install a 20% overdrive diff in the front axle, which did help with vertical lines, but did not solve the jumpy esc issue. I believe it comes down to improper gear ratios in the mini stellar transmission and fcx24 style portal axles. As of now I wish I would of saved a couple hundred dollars and just purchased a CR18p pro Juice up. My buddy has the juice up and out of the box it is hands down a more capable 1/18 scale crawler.

Great looking truck with a lot of really nice parts but when I plugged in the battery and turned the truck on the ESC/reciever started smoking I have emailed Furitek and let them know have not heard back so we will see I have 2 other Furitek trucks and I love them great trucks but this one not so much!!☹️

worth every penny

Had a broken ESC straight out of the box but it was fairly easy to get a replacement on the way. App is pretty cool and the truck is really strong

This vehicle is on another Level. It is Amazing straight out of the box. I highly recommend this Crawler, you will not be disappointed. Two thumbs 👍🏽 👍🏽 up!!

Great truck lots of upgrades

So to start I really like the quality of the parts on the Cayman Pro V2. But that being said, I think the Lizard Pro RXF that came on my crawler was DOA, as the unit would not "power-on" even with a fully charged Reaction 2S 7.4V 350MAH Lipo battery connected. It has a QC passed sticker and I'm not going open the case to confirm there is a problem, also one of the metal pucks hot-glued to the body came free taking a large chuck of the orange paint with it on first removal. I reached-out to Furitek for resolution by replying to the emails I received confirming purchase, and heard back from a Patrick who ask a bunch of question about my issue then for a video demonstrating the problem. Which I happily supplied, I was then informed by Patrick that he would forward this information on to Furitek and to expect a reply from them. I found this odd as I had assumed that he was with Furitek since this exchange had started by me emailing Furitek in the first place. So in conclusion I have not heard back from Patrick or Furitek, except to ask for this review. I did buy the product during a sale and I had the impression upon opening it that the box had maybe been opened before and then repackaged.

Smooth and fast fun truck

Carbon fiber frame, furitek electronics. Love the orange.

This crawler is amazing. No kinds of problems with it runs really quite and slow on the rocks. Got exactly what I paid for
