HobbyPlus CR-18P 1/18 Terranaut 8X8 AWS RC Crawler RTR Green w/Battery & Charger

Hobby Plus unleashes the CR18P 1/18 Terranaut 8x8 with Active All Wheel Steering

    Hobby Plus is proud to introduce the CR18P 1/18 Terranaut 8x8 - a fully capable remote controlled 8x8 recovery/hauling vehicle that redefines off-road functionality. The Terranaut exudes authentic scale detail, unmatched steering functionality/maneuverability and real-world inspired recovery and towing capabilities. Built on the globally respected CR18P platform, the Terranaut 8x8 delivers serious terrain prowess straight out of the box.

Advanced Features for Tactical Precision

     The Terranaut 8X8’s revolutionary Active All Wheel Steering (Active-AWS) system allows the four front wheels and 4 rear wheels to be controlled independently via a 6-channel FlySky transmitter. With a standard steering wheel and a thumb-operated pivoting lever, users can command tight U-turns, crab walk maneuvers, or isolate front or rear steering at will while completely proportional.

    The 2-speed remote operated transmission provides greater precision for the job at hand and tactical precision for an array of scenarios. For on point recoveries, technical obstacles, high-angled ascents and descents, and large hauls, the extreme low-range 124:1 ratio 1st gear provides the right amount of feel and control for complete confidence in highly technical situations.

    While 1st gear is the heart the Terranaut, 2nd gear at a 31:1 ratio provides generous amount of speed to get you where you want to go, faster. It’s just the right amount of speed to have a little fun and get out on those scale trail runs.

   Integrated remote-controlled LED lighting and a fully operational recovery winch bring added realism and functionality making it more than just an RC—it’s a mission-ready vehicle.
