Tamiya Rock Socker Truck - CR-01

The Tamiya Rock Socker Truck – CR-01 is a 1/10 scale truck kit. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

Tamiya supply a Type 540 motor and an electronic speed controller in the box.

Key specifications

• This is a 1/10 scale RC model assembly kit
• The body of the car is based upon a Tamiya classic, the Stadium Blitzer, which has been modified, featuring an updated colour scheme and brand new marking stickers to herald the arrival of this fresh face
• The shaft driven chassis features a compact planetary gearbox which transfers power to the wheels, and is
• small enough to enable a lower centre of gravity
• The CR-01 chassis’ supreme climbing ability stems from the rigid 4-link suspension with front/rear tabilizers. It is fitted with push rod-actuated oil dampers, with coil springs to act as tension springs
• Front and rear 3-bevel differentials are lockable to provide even better traction off-road
• Tyres with side tread patterns provide further-enhanced grip

You will also need

• Type 540 motor included. Electronic Speed Control not included

Tamiya kits are designed to be built with hand tools and a clear manual, which is what makes them a common first build as well as a shelf favourite.
