The Tamiya 47202 Max Climber is a 1/18 scale 4X4 that focuses on technical crawling and tight terrain performance. Its TLT-1 chassis and SUV-styled body deliver a balance of durability and manoeuvrability for demanding lines.
This model evolves the Rock Buster concept with a new body and improved chassis usability. The TLT-1 design takes a standard lay down battery pack, keeping setup simple while offering a compact footprint of 280mm that still performs like a larger crawler.
The truck uses a 4-link cantilever arrangement for strong articulation, and rocker arm oil dampers manage impacts smoothly. A central motor with belt-driven 4WD reduces power loss, and you can fit an extra servo to activate 4-wheel steering for improved cornering and sidehill control.
The SUV-inspired shell is both attractive and functional, and metal-plated red wheels combined with a black anodised aluminium frame give a rugged look and feel. The packaging has been designed to serve as a carry case for convenient transport.
Overall, the Tamiya 47202 Max Climber is a versatile compact crawler suited to hobbyists wanting a small, capable off-road model that is straightforward to set up and maintain.
