HSP Racing Bug Crusher 2.4Ghz RC Monster Truck

A True Hobby-Grade Monster Truck for Next-Level RC Driving

The HSP Racing Bug Crusher 2.4GHz RC Monster Truck is built for enthusiasts who want real performance without the premium price tag. Unlike entry-level toy RC cars, the Bug Crusher features a strong and highly tuneable design, packed with components normally found in more expensive hobby-grade trucks. Its 4WD driveline, dual-shock suspension, powerful 540 brushed motor, and upgradeable electronics platform deliver robust off-road capability straight out of the box.

Full-Time 4WD System with Aluminium Centre Drive Shaft

At the heart of the Bug Crusher is a super-efficient shaft-driven four-wheel-drive system. The strong aluminium centre drive shaft transfers power from the motor to the front and rear differentials, ensuring balanced torque distribution and consistent traction across all four wheels. Working front and rear differentials enhance cornering stability and traction on rough or loose surfaces.

Waterproof Electronics for All-Weather Control

This model is equipped with:

• Waterproof servo.
• Waterproof ESC (HSP 03018).
• Waterproof receiver.

These components allow the truck to operate confidently on damp grass, wet dirt, and light puddles without shutting down - making it suitable for year-round outdoor use.

Twin Oil-Filled Shocks Per Wheel for Monster Suspension Travel

Each wheel is fitted with two aluminium-capped oil-filled shocks, giving a total of eight shocks. This dual-shock configuration provides superior damping and vertical travel - ideal for absorbing rough terrain, jumps, and bumps. Adjustable shock angles let you fine-tune suspension stiffness and handling behaviour to match the terrain.

High-Torque RC540 Motor with Heat Sink Cooling

The included RC540 brushed motor is paired with an aluminium heat sink for thermal efficiency, enabling the truck to maintain high performance during extended sessions. The waterproof ESC provides full proportional throttle and braking in both forward and reverse, allowing precise speed control.

Rugged Monster Truck Build with Upgrade Potential

The Bug Crusher features:

• Aluminium radio tray for reinforcement.
• Anti-skid monster truck tyres for traction.
• Chrome-finished rims.
• Spring-loaded bumpers to absorb crash impacts.
• High-strength shock towers.

The platform is fully upgradeable - owners can easily swap in a brushless motor, Li-Po batteries, metal drivetrain parts, and more, making this an excellent long-term investment for hobbyists.

Modern 2.4GHz Radio System

The included wheel-type 2.4GHz transmitter offers reliable, interference-free control with faster signal response compared to older AM/FM radio systems. Multiple Bug Crushers and other 2.4GHz models can run together without frequency conflicts.
