CAPO CUB2 1/18 Scale Full Metal 4WD RC Crawler Kit with 2-Speed Gearbox
Micro Scale, Massive Engineering: The Capo CUB2 Masterpiece
In the world of RC crawling, bigger isn't always better; precision is. The Capo CUB2 is a 1/18 scale marvel of mechanical engineering, packing the complexity of a 1/10 rig into a chassis that fits in your hand. This All-Metal KIT is designed for the true connoisseur who appreciates watch-like precision and timeless mechanical aesthetics.
Featuring a 2-speed mechanical gearbox, remote locking differentials, and a convertible aluminum body, the CUB2 blurs the line between a high-performance crawler and a desktop mechanical art piece. Build it, drive it, admire it—it is perfection in miniature.
Why Choose the Capo CUB2 Kit?
1. All-Metal, All-Precision
Plastic is banned here. From the CNC machined chassis to the super-light aluminum housing, every component radiates quality. The gears, axles, and fasteners are all metal, providing a cool touch and durability that lasts a lifetime. It’s not just a model; it’s an heirloom.
2. Advanced Micro-Transmission
The engineering is mind-blowing. The 3cm square transmission houses a functional 2-speed gearbox with brass gears for silent operation. You can shift gears remotely without stopping, switching between high-speed racing and low-speed technical crawling instantly.
3. Intelligent Differential Linkage
Complexity made simple. To save space and channels, Capo designed a mechanical linkage system. When you shift gears, the differentials automatically adapt: Off-Road Mode (High Gear) unlocks the diffs for speed, while Climbing Mode (Low Gear) locks them for traction. It’s genius engineering at 1/18 scale.
4. Convertible Realism
Style meets function. The aluminum body features a variable convertible split hardtop, allowing you to run it as an enclosed SUV or an open-top crawler. The authentic cockpit fits 3.75-inch figures perfectly, inviting you to add a driver and bring the scale world to life.
Technical Highlights: Engineering Excellence
- 4-Link Suspension: Utilizes a classic 4-link system with coilover shocks, providing realistic articulation and stability on uneven terrain.
- Ackermann Steering: The steering geometry uses Ackermann design for tighter turning radiuses and smoother cornering, essential for navigating compact indoor courses.
- Brass Gear Self-Lubrication: The internal brass gears provide a self-lubricating effect, ensuring the transmission remains smooth and quiet over years of operation.
- MADGEAR Technology: Incorporates the latest electrical kit technology for reliable power delivery and control (electronics sold separately).

Usage Scenario: The Desktop Expedition
The Build: You clear a space on your desk. With tweezers and precision drivers, you assemble the tiny brass gears of the transmission. It feels like building a mechanical watch.
The Drive: It’s lunch break. You set up a course using books and coffee mugs. You shift the CUB2 into Low Gear. The differentials lock, and the tiny metal truck crawls up a stack of magazines with incredible torque. You shift to High Gear and drift it across the mousepad. It’s the ultimate escape from the daily grind.
