CROSSRC BT8 8WD 1/12 RC Simulated military vehicle RC Wheeled Armored Car Amphibious Model Toy KIT/RTR
* CROSSRC BT8 "Rhino" is a 4-axle, 8-wheel drive APC (BTR80), produced in the 1980s, capable of carrying a crew of 3 plus 7 passengers. It is still used in many countries and in peacekeeping forces.
* CROSSRC BT8 adopts an independent all-metal suspension structure on all 8 wheels, which greatly improves the strength and shock resistance of the driving system.
* CROSSRC BT8 independent suspensions are based on the real model , using 8 sets of torsion bars to cooperate with 12 shock absorbers , which have sufficient support and do not lose the pivoting posture. You can adjust the damping effect by changing the torsion bar group.
* CROSSRC BT8 all-wheel steering uses dual steering ratios on axles 1, 2 and axles 3 and 4 respectively. Through the mixture control operation, after adjusting the appropriate front and rear steering ratio, the minimum turning radius can be be reduced to 530mm.
* CrossRC pioneered the "straight axis all-drive" belt transmission system with dynamic simulation model. The lightweight transmission structure reduces weight and improves transmission efficiency, further lowering the vehicle's center of gravity and improving maneuverability when crossing.
* CROSSRC BT8 is equipped with a two-speed gearbox , metal gears with a PTO. The gearbox adapts 0.8 modulus machined metal gears, which can adapt to different types of transmission systems.
* CROSSRC BT8 is amphibious and uses a water jet as a propulsion system while sailing. We designed two independent propulsion or PTO gearbox modes for users to choose what to install.
* CROSSRC BT8 design divides the driving module and equipment module into compartments, separating dry and wet areas. Each connection level of the module adopts a sealed and waterproof design, which effectively reduces the difficulty of maintenance after playing in the water.
* CROSSRC BT8 Similar to the real model, the BT8 is equipped with a retractable wave pusher (water baffle), which can prevent water from overflowing into the body when floating in the water.
* CROSSRC BT8 upper structure is equipped with a 360° rotating turret , the barrel is made of CNC machined aluminum and it can be controlled up and down. The machine gun, smoke devices, infrared night vision devices are extremely detailed.
* CROSSRC BT8 bodywork includes various metal tow hooks, cables, crash guards and external infantry armrests.

IMPORTANT NOTE!
CROSSRC BT8 TRUCK WEIGHS APPROX 25LBS. FOR BEST PERFORMANCE THIS VEHICLE REQUIRES HIGH VOLTAGE SERVOS WITH HIGH TORQUE FOR STEERING, AND INCLUDES POWER BOARDS FOR 7.4V AND 11.1V SYSTEMS.
A BEC IS ADVISED!
KIT Version recommended electronics:
Transmitter – 6 to run 8 Channel recommended.
Servos – 2 x 30-40KG Hi torque water proof servos 1 x standard waterproof shift servo.
ESC’s – 2 x 80amp or 1 x 80amp and 1 x 60 amp.
CROSSRC BT8 is a complex model requiring multiple channels for proper operation. You will need at least six channels to operate, in most cases a twin stick or air style transmitter. Most pistol grip transmitters do not have the capability to properly operate all functions.
