Big-Bash Monster Truck Performance from the Tamiya Terra Crusher

The Tamiya 43501 Terra Crusher captures the oversized look of traditional monster rigs while offering practical durability for regular running. As a 1/8 scale RTR it comes pre-assembled and painted so you can focus on setup and driving.

FS-18 Power and 2-Speed Control

The on-board FS-18 glow engine provides the torque expected from a large displacement unit. The 2-speed FRAT automatic gearbox allows the truck to shift between lower gear for torque and a higher range for faster straights, giving flexible performance on different surfaces.

Sturdy Frame and Tuned Suspension

The ladder chassis combines 2.5mm duralumin with reinforced resin to resist impact and flex. Full-time 4WD, CVA oil dampers and double wishbone suspension deliver balanced handling, while full ball bearings and a double disc brake system reduce wear and aid control.
