About the Terra Crusher
From the depths of the earth comes the Terra Crusher! Made in the spirit of the American monster truck, Tamiya presents a pre-painted, pre-assembled off-road R/C machine, packed with a powerful engine and ultra-durable parts that let it tackle the most rugged of terrain- No roads, no problem.

Ready to Crush
The Terra Crusher comes completely pre-assembled from the inside out and comes with fuel pump and pre-adjusted .18ci (approx. 3cc) engine, all you need is a 7.2V battery pack to start the engine and fuel to run and then your set to crush, Terra crush that is.

2-Speed Automatic Transmission
Many features of the Terra Crusher give this machine superiority over its rivals. One feature that needs particular highlighting is the Terra Crusher's 2-speed FRAT(forward and reverse automatic transmission). FRAT enables the Terra Crusher to adjust to a variety of terrain by switching to low and high gears when needed to effectively maximize control. FRAT also realizes smooth, controlled reverse driving!

Engine Start Method
Glow engine can be easily started by connecting electric starter (included) to model and pushing button.
