Tamiya Rock Socker CR-01 4WD Rock Crawler Truck Kit

The Tamiya Rock Socker CR-01 truck captures the spirit of American rock crawling competitions in a 1/10 scale R/C assembly. Built on the tough Tamiya CR-01 4WD rock crawling chassis, this kit features a lightweight polycarbonate Racing Truck body, vivid marking stickers and a central motor layout with a low-geared Tamiya Rock Socker with planetary gearbox for unrivalled torque at crawl speed.

Key features of the Tamiya Rock Socker CR-01 truck

• Aluminum & resin ladder frame – balances toughness and weight control for stable chassis flex.
• 4-link rigid suspension – delivers precise wheel articulation and maximises ground contact.
• CVA oil-filled dampers – part of the Tamiya Rock Socker oil dampers suspension system for consistent rebound.
• Progressive coil springs – ramp up resistance the deeper you crawl into obstacles.
• Planetary gearbox – provides a 32.4:1 gear ratio for slow, controlled power delivery.
• Lockable front/rear 3-bevel differentials – choose free-spinning or locked for maximum traction.
• Beadlock wheels & large-diameter tyres – side-tread pattern expands grip area for rock edges.
• Clear pre-cut body – paintable polycarbonate for custom detailing.

What makes the Tamiya CR-01 rock crawler kit excel on rugged trails?

The Tamiya CR-01 rock crawler kit pairs its 4WD planetary gearbox with lockable diffs to offer unmatched low-gear grunt. Progressive springs and CVA dampers absorb jolts, while beadlock wheels grip uneven surfaces. This combination keeps tyres planted, making it one of the best Tamiya rock crawler with beadlock wheels.

How does the 4-link rigid suspension improve off-road articulation?

Independent 4-link suspension arms pivot on aluminum side channels and resin cross members, allowing each wheel to move freely over obstacles. This Tamiya CR-01 4WD rock crawling chassis geometry maintains traction by hugging rock faces and roots, so you can tackle steeper angles and rougher terrain.

Durable Ladder Frame & Progressive Springs

The truck’s ladder frame uses aluminum side rails for rigidity and resin cross ties for controlled flex. Matched with progressive coil springs, this setup cushions sharp impacts and prevents bottoming out—essential for sustained rock-crawling sessions.

Lightweight Polycarbonate Body & Styling

Inspired by stadium blitzer silhouettes, the clear polycarbonate body includes marking stickers and decals for authentic detail. The slim profile reduces wind resistance and keeps centre of gravity low, enhancing stability during head-on climbs and side-hill scrambles.

Is the Tamiya TAM58592 off-road truck beginner-friendly?

This affordable Tamiya CR-01 trail truck for beginners arrives unassembled with full-colour instructions. Hobbyists can learn suspension setup, differential locking and body painting, gaining RC skills while building a robust crawler ready for the toughest rock gardens.

Advanced 4WD Drivetrain Components

The Tamiya Rock Socker CR-01 truck drivetrain combines a central motor placement, planetary gearbox and durable shaft-drive layout. Full ball bearings and lockable diffs ensure smooth operation under load, making wheel spin predictable for precise throttle control.
