Overview of the Tamiya 47201 TLT-1 Rock Buster

The Tamiya 47201 TLT-1 Rock Buster delivers big-truck behavior in a compact 1/18 format, pairing full 4WD with a sturdy aluminium chassis for reliable trail performance. Its size makes it easy to run in confined spots while still coping with uneven outdoor surfaces.

Why the Little Gear Series Matters

As part of the Little Gear Series, this model is compatible with widely available electronics like 540 motors, standard ESCs, and common servos, giving you flexibility when assembling. The short overall length keeps the truck agile, and the tough polycarbonate shell stands up to rough play.

Suspension Tuning and Steering Control

The suspension employs a four-link cantilever design and four aluminium oil-filled dampers to control body movement and improve traction. Four-wheel steering uses two servos to add responsiveness, making it simpler to negotiate tight rock gardens or trail features.

Upgrade Paths and Styling Options

A range of optional parts lets builders personalise the TLT-1, from anodised turnbuckles to performance pinion gears. Upgrades focused on reducing rotating mass and improving drivetrain efficiency will sharpen throttle response and overall agility.

The TLT-1 is a versatile platform for fans who like to tweak setup and add hop-ups. It rewards careful tuning and is well suited to both casual trail drives and focused hobby sessions.

Yes, to enable four-wheel steering you must install two servos: one for the front and one for the rear steering linkages. Ensure your transmitter supports dual steering setup.
The aluminium chassis is a solid base for upgrades. Many builders add lightweight drivetrain parts and stronger hardware to improve durability and handling.
Keep bearings and gears clean, refresh shock oil periodically, and inspect linkages for wear. Regular checks prevent performance drop-off and extend part life.
The TLT-1 is at home on packed dirt, gravel trails, and rocky gardens. Avoid very soft sand or deep mud unless you fit specialised tyres and protect electronics.
Yes, polycarbonate paints made for RC bodies work well. Mask carefully and use thin coats to retain fitment around mounts and windows.
