If you enjoy tight rock crawling and technical trail driving, the Tamiya 47202 Max Climber brings focused capability in a small package. Built on the TLT-1 chassis, this 1/18 scale R/C 4X4 blends durable construction with an SUV-inspired body to tackle steep climbs and rough ground with agility.
The Max Climber follows on from the Rock Buster with an updated body and improved chassis layout. The TLT-1 frame accepts a standard lay down battery pack for straightforward setup and keeps the overall footprint compact at 280mm length while maintaining serious crawling performance through smart engineering.
Performance comes from a 4-link cantilever setup that soaks up irregular terrain while rocker arm operated oil dampers control rebound. A centrally mounted motor and belt-driven 4WD drivetrain reduce drivetrain loss. For sharper handling you can fit an extra servo to enable 4-wheel steering for tighter turning and better sidehill control.
The SUV-style body improves visual presence and helps airflow, while metal-plated red wheels and a black anodized aluminium frame add durability. The clever packaging doubles as a transport case, keeping the model protected between runs.
With a compact footprint and durable components, the Tamiya 47202 Max Climber is a solid pick for hobbyists wanting a capable small-scale off-roader that is friendly to both newcomers and experienced drivers.
