Is this $30 AliExpress find the ultimate TRX4m alternative? Today we unbox and review the JXC LR1801, a 1/18 scale RC crawler that costs a fraction of the Traxxas but packs a 2-speed gearbox! I found this "Budget Discovery" on AliExpress and had to see if it actually crawls or if it's just a toy. At the same scale as the Traxxas TRX4m and FMS FCX18, does this cheap RC crawler actually stand a chance? Check it out here: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGRiQLq 🛠️ What’s in the Box? In this video, we do a full unboxing of the JXC LR1801 and take it out for a first-run trial.

Proportional Control: 2.4GHz transmitter with one-handed driving design. 🏔️ TRX4m vs. JXC LR1801: Is it worth it? We’re looking for the best budget 1/18 RC crawler for 2026. While the Traxxas TRX4m is a beast, it’s also $150+. This JXC comes in at just around $30-$50.
