thats not how you find part for discontinued vehicles on tower,

click on r/c parts superstore on the home page of tower hobbies, from there it has a huge list of all the brands and then when you get to your car it has all the parts available for it, the terracrusher has everythign on it, a long page of parts

The engine isnt that great in the TC, what i would do is convert it to a TNX, buy the full aluminum chassis, new gearbox, new engine, then buy the TRF suspension kit. the truck should be really reliable from what ive heard. the weeks points are the Universals, and some say the spur gear. need more help try tamiyatrucks.com

or just buy a tnx. it rocks right out of the box and kills the terra crusher by a long shot.

TC:
weak engine
FRAT tranny was hard to get adjusted right
super heavy tires
very durable and pretty easy to work on

tnx:
powerful stock engine, very few peeps change it and if they do its usually an 18 cvrx, which is pretty much the same thing
no revers, but very smooth two speed
shocks suck, but are ok for bashing


both trucks are very similar as th tnx is based off of the tc, the starter works fine.

If you want a Tamiya, just go with the TNX. I have one and trust me you won't be disapointed. In my local club there are savages, revo's, and others and personally I think my TNX is tougher and more reliable than any of them.
