Rugged Off-Road Bashing with the Tamiya Terra Crusher

The Tamiya 43501 Terra Crusher blends scale monster truck styling with a build that stands up to heavy off-road use. This 1/8 scale RTR arrives pre-assembled and painted so you can focus on running and setup.

FS-18 Drive and Two-Speed Performance

The FS-18 glow engine delivers strong pull for jumps and climbs, while the 2-speed FRAT automatic gearbox selects the best ratio for technical sections or open runs. The combination gives confident control on sand, dirt and rough tracks.

Robust Frame and Handling Components

The chassis is a 2.5mm duralumin ladder frame with reinforced resin parts for impact resistance. Full-time 4WD, CVA oil dampers and double wishbone layout provide predictable handling, and full ball bearings plus the double disc brake system improve reliability under heavy use.

Can the Terra Crusher cope with sandy or dusty conditions?

Yes, but you should fit proper air filtration and clean the driveline after sandy runs to prevent premature wear.

What are sensible upgrades for tougher terrain?

Common upgrades include reinforced driveshafts, spare CVA dampers and stronger servo units. Choose parts rated for heavier loads if you push the truck hard.

Is special fuel required for the FS-18 engine?

The FS-18 runs on standard RC glow fuel. Many users choose fuels like TG Fuel 2000 or TG Fuel 3000 depending on tuning and climate.

What starter and battery setup is needed?

The included electric starter requires a 7.2V Ni-Cd battery pack which is sold separately. Also plan for a compatible transmitter, receiver and steering servo as needed.
