2-Speed Transmission Low Gear (124:1): Maximum torque for recoveries, steep climbs/descents, and heavy hauls. High Gear (31:1): Ideal for faster trail runs between technical sections. Switch gearing remotely without lifting a finger. |

True Working Recovery Equipment A remote-operated rear winch equipped with stainless steel wire and a metal hook delivers genuine utility in the field, whether you’re rescuing a stuck crawler or hauling scale cargo. A gooseneck/fifth-wheel receiver expands your towing capability even further. |

Built for Real Terrain Portal axles increase ground clearance while allowing fine-tuned gear ratios. Metal gears throughout, steel pivot balls, CVD axles, and an aluminum chassis ensure long-term durability. Big-bore oil-filled shocks and aggressive MT tires keep the Terranaut planted in rough terrain. |
