Dominate Trails and Tracks with the Tamiya Terra Crusher

For fans of big-wheel off-road action, the Tamiya 43501 Terra Crusher delivers classic monster truck presence and practical durability. This 1/8 scale RTR arrives pre-assembled and pre-painted so you can start driving sooner.

Engine and Transmission Details

The Terra Crusher is powered by an FS-18 glow engine that gives lively throttle and dependable power delivery. Its 2-speed FRAT automatic transmission switches between low and high gear ranges to balance acceleration and top end performance across varied ground.

Chassis Durability and Handling

The ladder frame uses 2.5mm duralumin with reinforced resin sections to resist heavy use. Full-time 4WD combined with CVA oil dampers and double wishbone suspension keeps the truck stable, while full ball bearings and the double disc brake system improve longevity and control.

How do I start the engine on this RTR?

Are batteries and radio included with the Terra Crusher?

No, the starter battery pack and radio system are not included. Plan to buy a 7.2V Ni-Cd pack for the starter and a suitable transmitter, receiver and servos separately.
