Hobby Plus unleashes the CR18P 1/18 Terranaut 8×8 with Active All Wheel Steering
Hobby Plus is proud to introduce the CR18P 1/18 Terranaut 8×8 – a fully capable remote controlled 8×8 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 8×8 delivers serious terrain prowess straight out of the box.
Advanced Features for Tactical Precision
The Terranaut 8X8s 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. Its 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 RCits a mission-ready vehicle.
