Hobby Plus CR18P Terranaut 8×8 1/18 RC Crawler with Active All-Wheel Steering (AWS) | India

Introducing the Hobby Plus CR18P Terranaut 8×8, a groundbreaking RC crawler designed to redefine what a scale utility rig can do. With its 8-wheel drive system and advanced Active All-Wheel Steering (AWS), this model delivers unmatched control, maneuverability, and realism—making it one of the most capable mini crawlers available today.

The highlight of the Terranaut is its Active-AWS system, which allows independent control of both front and rear steering through a 6-channel FlySky transmitter. This enables unique driving modes such as crab walking, tight U-turns, front-only steering, or rear-only steering, giving you complete command in even the tightest and most technical terrains.

Equipped with a 2-speed transmission, the Terranaut adapts effortlessly to different driving scenarios. The ultra-low 124:1 gear ratio in first gear provides exceptional torque for precise crawling, steep climbs, and heavy hauling. Switch to second gear with a 31:1 ratio to enjoy faster trail runs without sacrificing control.

Built for both performance and realism, the model features a fully functional remote-controlled winch, allowing you to perform recovery operations just like a real expedition vehicle. Combined with LED lighting modes, rotating beacon lights, and a detailed scale body, this crawler offers an immersive experience both on and off the trail.

The Terranaut is engineered with a black anodized aluminum chassis, portal axles for increased ground clearance, and a full metal drivetrain, ensuring durability in tough environments. Its big bore oil-filled shocks and aggressive MT tires provide smooth suspension travel and reliable grip across rocks, mud, and uneven terrain.

Powered by a 7.4V 1100mAh LiPo battery, this 8×8 machine delivers extended runtime—perfect for long trail sessions, recovery missions, and exploration.

Whether you’re crawling, towing, or showcasing a scale build, the Terranaut 8×8 stands in a league of its own.
