Are you up for something new and unique?

Will this 1/8 crawler change the game?

Traction Hobby sets out to produce something the RC crawling world hasn’t seen – a 1/8 sized crawler, larger than almost all scale crawlers in the market today.

Their vision is to create a new category for scale crawling and even racing.

Comparing to its predecessor 1/8 Founder Jeep, the chassis rails are now 1.2mm thick steel for strength and to keep it lightweight. A few parts have been redesigned and changed to strong plastic to keep the weight low and with a lower price point.

The new Cragsman uses a chassis-mounted servo design (CMS) instead of axle-mounted. It has a massive 83mm skid plate clearance with a wheelbase of 374mm and the axle clearance is 45mm.

Features:

Aluminum Axles

The axle housings come standard in aluminum. The front and rear axles come out of two separate molds (read on to see why). It has plastic lockouts, C-hubs and knuckles which help reduce the weight of this beast. The C-hub and knuckle design have an 8-degree caster and an impressive 45-degree steering angle.

Remote Locking Diffs

Remote Control Front and Rear Diff Locks. Cragsman makes you can lock and unlock the front and rear differentials to adjust your driving needs directly from your transmitter.

Transmission Gear Box, Counter-Rotation Transfer Case

The transmission gearbox has had an overhaul. The main transmission gearbox is no longer in the middle of the chassis as it is now moved to the front of the rig with the transfer box being a separate piece. The transfer case has a great feature already built: an opposite direction output drive (or counter-rotation transfer case) to help reduce torque twist found in many RC crawlers. This means the center drivelines now spin in opposite directions. This reduces torque twist to almost non-existent levels. This is the reason for having two molds for the axles as the bevel gears are in opposite reverse positions.

2-Speed Transmission, 2WD/4WD Selection

The main gearbox features a two speed transmission for Hi or Low gear selected by turning a knob on the 6-channel transmitter. On the transfer box it you can go 2WD or 4WD turning a button on the transmitter. Gear ratio is 2.6 on low and 1.8 on high

Drivelines, Links and Shocks

The links are made out of 7mm stainless steel with an M5 thread for the ball ends for extra strength; the lower links are high clearance links. The front drive shafts are CVD and the front and rear drive shafts are made out of hardened steel for extra strength and durability. To help with flexing its wheels it is fitted with some 110mm aluminum adjustable big bore 2-stage coils over shocks.

Wheels & Tires

It comes with a licensed ProComp 2.2 wheel/rim that is molded plastic and is a glue on wheel. The ProComp wheel do not come glued to the tires which you can save the tires for optional beadlocks. The stock tires are soft, which should do well on many different terrains. It comes with open cell foam inserts. The size is 135mm X 56mm 2.2, licensed Mark Ma tire with an aggressive tread pattern for good traction and performance.

A fifth spare tire is included, same as the running tires.

Body & Accessories

The Ford Raptor body is aggressive looking and the scale is superb. The body is made out of lexan and is lightweight. The main cab is held on by two magnetic stealth mounts at front and 2 body clip rear and the body parts are screwed in place, securely locks the body in place. The body comes with all light buckets for the front and rear headlights and taillights. They do not come with LEDs so you will need to add your own set of lights.

6 Ch Radio

It comes with a 6-channel radio system that controls all these new features, including 2WD/4WD option, front and rear open/lock diffs, 2-Speed transmission, steering and throttle.
