Hobby Plus CR18P 1/18 Terranaut 8x8 RC Vehicle with Active All-Wheel Steering

Hobby Plus proudly presents the CR18P 1/18 Terranaut 8x8, a fully capable remote-controlled recovery and hauling vehicle designed for extreme off-road performance. Built on the globally respected CR18P platform, the Terranaut combines authentic scale details, unmatched maneuverability, and real-world inspired towing and recovery capabilities, delivering top-tier terrain performance straight out of the box.

Advanced Features for Ultimate Control

The Terranaut 8x8 features a revolutionary Active All-Wheel Steering (Active-AWS) system, allowing all four front and rear wheels to operate independently via a 6-channel FlySky transmitter. Using a standard steering wheel and a thumb-operated pivoting lever, you can:

• Perform tight U-turns

• Execute crab walk maneuvers

• Isolate front or rear steering

• Achieve fully proportional, precise control

Its 2-speed remote-operated transmission ensures the right balance between precision and speed:

• 1st Gear (124:1 ratio): Extreme low-range torque for technical climbs, high-angle descents, recoveries, and heavy hauls.

• 2nd Gear (31:1 ratio): Smooth, faster drive for scale trail runs and general fun off-road adventures.

Integrated LED lighting and a fully functional remote-controlled recovery winch add realism and practicality, making the Terranaut a true mission-ready RC vehicle.
