Furitek Terra COMP 1/18 ARTR Crawler
Competition-grade hardware and finely tuned brushless control in a compact crawler

Built for drivers who read every rock before choosing a line, the Furitek Terra COMP is a 1/18-scale ARTR crawler with a factory-installed carbon chassis, aluminum high-clearance links, hardened steel driveshafts, weighted competition tires, and a Furitek brushless power system. The lightweight platform, generous breakover geometry, and measured low-speed response give you a capable foundation for gates, ledges, and technical rock sections without starting from a box of separate upgrades.
DirectRC offers two equipment packages: the standard Terra COMP and the Micro Tesla DigiBoard edition. Their essential chassis and power hardware are the same, while the DigiBoard package brings ESC adjustments, operating data, and alerts onto the crawler itself.

Key Furitek Terra COMP Features
![]() Lightweight Carbon ChassisA full carbon-fiber chassis combines low mass with the stiffness needed for predictable steering and suspension response. Because the base platform stays light, drivers have greater freedom to tune where additional weight sits. |
![]() Angled Aluminum SkidThe 10-degree skid is shaped to help the center of the crawler move across sharp transitions with less interference. Paired with high-clearance links, it also reduces exposed contact around the driveshaft area. |
![]() Clearance-Focused Link GeometryAluminum suspension links leave more working room around uneven rock, and the matching steering links transmit inputs with precision. Hardened steel driveshafts send brushless power from the transmission to the axles. |
![]() Micro Stellar Power DeliveryThe compact Micro Stellar transmission and 2-in-1 outrunner brushless system are designed for controlled starts and deliberate throttle modulation. Use the Furitek smartphone app to tailor supported throttle and brake settings without connecting a computer. |
![]() Traction with Low-Mounted WeightCompetition crawler tires meet brass hex weights that place extra mass close to the wheels. This arrangement can support grip and stability on steep terrain, though the additional rotating load makes sensible tuning and regular driveline checks important. |
![]() Quick-Access Magnetic BodyThe magnetic mounting system creates a tidy exterior and makes chassis access quick between runs. Inspect the body alignment and magnetic hold after tumbles or especially demanding sessions. |
What the Micro Tesla DigiBoard Adds
| Function | Practical benefit |
|---|---|
Onboard ESC configuration |
Change supported Furitek ESC parameters at the crawler without using a phone or computer |
Live telemetry |
Monitor battery voltage, motor speed, ESC temperature, and other supported information |
Low-voltage and overheat alarms |
Provides visible warnings for key operating conditions |
Throttle calibration |
Complete calibration through the OLED controls |
Compact dashboard display |
Places essential readouts directly on the vehicle |
App-based tuning remains available on the standard Terra COMP. Think of the DigiBoard as an extra interface for control and data rather than hardware required to drive the crawler.

Battery and First-Run Setup
- Choose a 2S or 3S LiPo that fits the approximately 13 × 28 mm battery space.
- Confirm PH 2.0 connector polarity before making the connection.
- Hold the pack securely while keeping wires clear of moving suspension parts.
- Use restrained throttle and brake values for the initial setup.
- On DigiBoard-equipped models, set the desired alarms before tackling a difficult line.
- After the first session, inspect the links, driveshafts, steering, and magnetic body mounts.

Pros and Considerations
| Strength | Consideration and workaround |
|---|---|
Carbon, aluminum, and steel components installed as standard |
Competition-focused hardware still benefits from inspection and routine care |
Fine low-speed brushless response |
High-output tuning and 3S operation may raise temperatures and component loads |
High-clearance links paired with a 10-degree skid |
Tire setup and thoughtful line selection remain central to course performance |
Smartphone tuning with an optional onboard DigiBoard |
Skip the DigiBoard package if you will not use its display or telemetry functions |
Assembled ARTR package with radio gear |
A suitable battery and charger are separate purchases |
Is the Terra COMP Right for You?
The Terra COMP is a natural fit for mini-crawler drivers who want a competition-minded 1/18 platform without selecting and assembling each primary chassis component themselves. It combines obstacle-friendly geometry with adjustable brushless control, and its included radio system reduces the work between opening the box and beginning setup.
A battery-inclusive RTR may be more straightforward for a first-ever RC purchase. If you are already comfortable checking LiPo fitment, connector polarity, and electronic settings, the Terra COMP offers a focused base plus the choice of smartphone-only tuning or onboard DigiBoard access.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does ARTR mean for the Terra COMP?
The crawler arrives assembled with its electronics and radio system, but you must supply the drive battery and charger. Install a compatible, correctly sized LiPo before use.
What battery does it need?
The specified setup is a 2S–3S LiPo measuring approximately 13 × 28 mm, using a PH 2.0 SCX24-style connector with confirmed polarity.
What is the Micro Tesla DigiBoard?
The optional Micro Tesla DigiBoard is an onboard OLED interface for supported ESC settings, throttle calibration, live operating data, and alerts.
Do I need the DigiBoard to tune the crawler?
No. You can tune the standard Terra COMP through the Furitek smartphone app. The DigiBoard provides a second, vehicle-mounted way to view data and make supported adjustments.
What is the benefit of the 10-degree skid?
The angled skid improves breakover clearance, helping the center section travel over abrupt rocks with less risk of getting caught.
Is the Terra COMP ready for beginners?
A newcomer can operate it, but its separate battery requirement, brushless tuning options, and competition geometry make basic RC setup experience helpful.
