This 8‑minute video is a full Tarranaut overview, trail test, and feature highlight reel so you can see what this small crawler can really do out on the rocks and trails. We’ll walk through the scale details, chassis, suspension, and electronics, then take the Tarranaut onto real obstacles to test its climbing, side‑hilling, and low‑speed control. If you’re into 1/18 and 1/24 RC crawlers or looking for a compact rig that you can run almost anywhere, this Hobby Plus Tarranaut RTR might be your next trail buddy. In this video you’ll see: Design & scale detail – body style, lights, and small‑scale trail truck look Chassis and suspension overview – links, shocks, and articulation Electronics package – radio, ESC, motor, and how it feels on the trigger Tire and wheel setup – how the Tarranaut hooks up on rocks and dirt Indoor and outdoor trail runs – tight lines, climbs, and side‑hills Slow‑speed control and crawling performance for a 1/18 RC crawler Size comparison to a 1/10 crawler (and/or other small rigs, if you show that) Our first impressions: who the Tarranaut is perfect for and what to expect out of the box Why this 1/18 scale RC crawler is interesting: Small enough to run indoors, on a desk course, or backyard micro trail Still offers true crawling behavior with real articulation and control A great option for new RC crawler fans or experienced hobbyists who want a portable rig Opens up lots of custom micro trail and scale accessory possibilities If you enjoy RC crawlers, micro and mini trail trucks, and real‑world testing, hit that subscribe button and join the CreepyCrawlerRC crew.
