Hobby Plus proudly presents the CR18P 1/18 Terranaut 8x8, a powerful 1/18 scale RC rescue and transport vehicle that redefines off-road capability. 

The Terranaut combines a true-to-scale appearance, outstanding steering performance, and realistic rescue/towing functions. Built on the globally acclaimed CR18P platform, the Terranaut 8x8 is ready out of the box with formidable terrain-conquering power. 

Tactical-Grade Precision Control
The Terranaut 8x8 features a revolutionary Active All-Wheel Steering (Active-AWS) system, operated via the FlySky 6-channel transmitter. With independently controlled front and rear wheels, drivers can execute tight turns, crab-walking, and independent front/rear steering. Proportional steering ensures exceptional accuracy and responsiveness.
