We carry this truck because it can make a great RC truck, or it can be easily fitted with a microcontroller and some sensors and make a great 4-Wheel-Drive, 4-Wheel-Turning robot!

This mighty 4WD truck can take on the bumpiest terrain thanks to a massive 4-link cantilever suspension system and huge semi-pneumatic truck tires. Not only boasting running performance the equivalent of a 1/10 scale model at half the size, the mighty Max Climber also features a wicked SUV body design making it the coolest truck on the block.

The TLT-1 Max Climber truck is a 2nd generation following the release of the 1/18 scale TLT-1 Rock Buster. The Rock Buster proved a huge hit thanks to its powerful climbing, maneuverability, durability and small size. This new Max Climber is packed with all the great features that made the Rock Buster so popular plus a whole lot more!. Now compatible with a standard lay down battery pack, the Max Climber does not require a special battery like its predecessor the Rock Buster. Other improvements on the Rock Buster include a 2mm thick black anodized aluminum frame and metal plated wheels featuring a shiny red finish and a new body style.

Via attaching an extra servo (sold separately) to the rear, you can turn your conventional 2-wheel steer truck into an awesome 4-wheel steer for exceptional control. Steering front and rear wheels in opposite direction gives sharper turning, while steering front and rear wheels in the same direction allows for side running.

• When using an extra servo with a 2-channel R/C system, a splitter compatible with your transmitter is required.
• Tamiya recommends the following Servo for 4-wheel steering.
