Classic Monster Truck Style with Practical Performance

The Tamiya 43501 Terra Crusher blends iconic monster truck proportions with a ready-to-run layout that keeps maintenance manageable. This 1/8 scale model arrives assembled and painted for quick setup on local tracks or open areas.

FS-18 Powertrain and Gear Shifting

Equipped with the FS-18 glow engine, the Terra Crusher puts out strong, controllable power for jumps and straight runs. The automatic 2-speed FRAT transmission swaps between gear ranges to match traction and speed requirements.

Durable Construction and Smooth Handling

Its ladder frame uses 2.5mm duralumin reinforced with resin elements for toughness. The full-time 4WD system, CVA oil dampers and double wishbone suspension contribute to composed handling, while full ball bearings and the double disc brake system support consistent performance.

What skill level is ideal for this model?

Intermediate to experienced drivers will get the most from the Terra Crusher, though determined beginners can learn with guidance on engine care and basic suspension checks.

How loud is the FS-18 glow engine in practice?

The FS-18 produces typical glow engine noise levels. If you need quieter running, consider muffler condition and running the truck away from noise-sensitive locations.

What routine checks should I perform after each run?

Inspect the suspension, check for loose screws, clean the air filter and examine bearings and drivetrain components to prolong service life.

Do I need any extra parts to get started?

You will need a 7.2V Ni-Cd battery pack for the electric starter and a compatible radio system with servos, as these are not included with the RTR model.
