Redefine off-road capability with the Hobby Plus CR-18P Terranaut 8X8, a 1/18 scale recovery vehicle engineered for extreme conditions. Built on the CR-18P platform, this massive machine features a true 8-wheel drive system powered by a high-torque Big Block 280 brushed motor. The standout feature is the revolutionary Active All-Wheel Steering (AWS) system. Utilising four separate steering servos, the driver can control the front and rear axles independently via the 6-channel transmitter, allowing for tight U-turns, crab-walking manoeuvres, and precise positioning on technical trails.
The Terranaut is designed for everything you can throw at it, featuring a remote-operated 2-speed transmission. Shift into the extreme low-range 124:1 gear for unmatched torque and control during technical climbs or heavy towing, then switch to the 31:1 high gear to pick up the pace on flat ground. To enhance its role as a recovery rig, Hobby Plus has equipped the truck with a fully functional rear-mounted winch with a metal hook, remotely controlled from the transmitter. The chassis rides on portal axles for increased ground clearance, while big-bore oil-filled shocks ensure the eight wheels stay planted.
The Terranaut hard-body cab features a tilt mechanism for easy battery access and an injection-moulded interior. It comes alive with a complete LED lighting system, including a rotating amber beacon and remote-operated modes. Powered by an included 7.4V 1100mAh LiPo battery, this truck offers run times of up to one hour. Whether towing a trailer via the fifth-wheel receiver or conquering impossible obstacles, the Terranaut is a unique and powerful addition to any RC garage.
The Hobby Plus Terranaut 8X8 is a heavy-duty hauler ready for any mission—deploy the winch and get to work!
