HobbyPlus Unleashes the CR-18P 1/18 Terranaut 8×8 with Active All-Wheel Steering
HobbyPlus is proud to introduce the CR-18P 1/18 Terranaut 8×8—a fully capable remote-controlled recovery/hauling vehicle that redefines off-road functionality. The Terranaut delivers authentic scale detail, unmatched maneuverability, and real-world recovery and towing capability. Built on the globally respected CR-18P platform, the Terranaut 8×8 conquers serious terrain straight out of the box.
Advanced Features for Tactical Precision
The Terranaut 8×8’s revolutionaryActive All-Wheel Steering (Active-AWS)lets the four front and four rear wheels be controlled independently via a 6-channel FlySky transmitter. With a standard steering wheel and a thumb-operated pivot lever, you can command tight U-turns, perform crab-walk maneuvers, or isolate front or rear steering at will—all fully proportional.
Aremote-operated 2-speed transmissionprovides precision for the job at hand. For pinpoint recoveries, technical obstacles, steep ascents/descents, and heavy hauls, the ultra-low 124:1 first gear delivers the control and feel you need for complete confidence in high-consequence terrain.
While first gear is the heart of the Terranaut,second gear (31:1)adds ample speed to get you where you’re going faster—just right for fun trail runs between the technical sections.
Integratedremote-controlled LED lightingand afully operational recovery winchadd realism and functionality, making this more than just an RC—it’s a mission-ready vehicle.
