HobbyPlus CR-18P Terranaut 8X8 — 1/18 Scale RC Rescue Crawler

The HobbyPlus CR-18P Terranaut 8X8 is a 1/18 scale ready-to-run RC rescue and transport vehicle built on the globally acclaimed CR18P platform. With true 8-wheel drive, Active All-Wheel Steering, and a fully functional recovery winch, it's one of the most capable and detailed scale crawlers on the market.

Active All-Wheel Steering (Active-AWS)

Operated via the included FlySky 6-channel transmitter, the Terranaut's Active-AWS system gives you independent proportional control of the front and rear axles. Switch between front-only steering, rear-only steering, crab-walk, and combined modes for unmatched manoeuvrability on tight technical terrain.

Two-Speed Transmission

• Low Gear (124:1) — Maximum torque for steep climbs, heavy loads, and technical obstacles.
• High Gear (31:1) — Balanced speed for trail running and open terrain.

Scale Detail & Electronics

The Terranaut is packed with premium scale features including remote-operated LED lighting with 5 modes, rotating amber beacon lights, an injection-moulded hard body with detailed interior, and a rear-mounted recovery winch with stainless wire and metal hook.
