Introducing Tamiya's new 1/8 R/C
Truggy, the Nitrage. This high-performance Ready-To-Run
model is packed with innovative features that no other
machine in its class has. Modular construction means
effortless assembly and convenient maintenance, with all
the internal components mounted on a high-strength,
press-molded aluminum deck. Servos are directly
connected to the fully-enclosed gearboxes to ensure
consistently smooth operation and minimal interference.
4-wheel independent suspension with large oil dampers,
aluminum slipper clutch, and high-density spike tires
mounted on large dish wheels lets it tackle any terrain
with ease. The aggressive body and distinctive rear wing
matches the "Nitro Rage" image perfectly and will make
it the instant center of attention wherever it goes.
POWER AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
 |
The Nitrage is equipped
with the formidable FR-32FX 5.2cc engine
that features a large diameter slide
carburetor, 14mm diameter crank shaft,
lightweight piston, and large heat sink
head. The FR-32FX is matched with a 150cc
large capacity fuel tank to provide ample
driving endurance. Powered by this monster
engine, the Nitrage with standard 1-speed
transmission is capable of speeds of up to
60km/hr (approx. 37mph)! |
| Engine Specs:
5.24cc displacement, 20.1mm bore, 16.5mm
stroke, 5000-33000rpm range, rear exhaust |
MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
Off-road racing often means dirt and grime accumulating
on the vehicle and interfering with maintenance, to say
nothing of all the work you have to do to clean up
afterwards. Our designers took this into account when
creating the Nitrage and separated the vehicle into 5
major components: Front Gearbox (with steering servo and
front suspension), Center Gearbox (with throttle servo
and disc brake), Mechanics Box (with fail safe equipped
receiver), Engine with Fuel Tank, and Rear Gearbox (with
rear suspension and wing). Each of these can be
individually removed from the chassis for easy
maintenance and cleaning. All 5 components rest on a
special high-strength aluminum deck, a pioneering
feature for this class, that was press-molded to ensure
structural rigidity.
ALL GEARS FULLY ENCLOSED
Tamiya is the first to bring this special feature to the
R/C world. Even the connection between the engine clutch
bell and the spur gear are completely enclosed and
protected from outside interference. As a result, all
gears have constant stable lubrication and gear backlash
is contained by the gearcase. This means the Nitrage
does not need to resort to using any heavy and expensive
steel gear parts, giving fans more modification
flexibility.
Furthermore, the differential gear on the Nitrage is
doubly protected, first by its own durable case and then
by a second enclosure formed around it by the front and
rear gearboxes. This setup insulates the differential
gear to prevent the suspension arms and shock towers
from imparting stress on it (this is the problem with
most makers' truggy differential gears).
EFFICIENT POWER TRANSMISSION
The Nitrage is equipped with the
R/C world's first flexible joint drive system, with the
spur gear having a short dog bone linkage to the clutch
bell, which helps reduce stress on the engine. A durable
lightweight aluminum slipper clutch to improve
transmission efficiency is also included, which is
another first in this class.
WIDE-SPAN FRONT SUSPENSION UPPER ARM
Truggies from other makers
usually feature upper I arms for the front suspension,
which offer flexibility but are lacking in structural
strength. The Nitrage has specially designed upper A
arms for the front suspension that allow flexible
suspension travel without sacrificing strength.
Colossal off-road tires with
inner sponge feature an oval spike tread pattern that is
perfect for driving on rough surfaces. Tires are mounted
on large diameter dish wheels.
The large rear wing on the
Nitrage is a double-split design inspired by those
equipped on actual WRC cars. Catch pin attachment means
the upper surface of the wing remains flat, adding to
its stylish appearance. Since the wing is connected to
the chassis and not the body shell, it clearly
distinguishes the Nitrage as a Tamiya product even when
the body is removed.
FOR ADDED CONVENIENCE AND INSTANT ACTION
The Nitrage features universal
screw heads for most of its screws, which means all you
need is the 2.5mm Hex Wrench to attach and remove them,
making maintenance even more speedy (Note that there may
be a few screws that require a 1.5mm or 2mm Hex Wrench).
Tamiya Handy Starter and Glow Plug Heater are included
for easy engine starts even for beginners (Handy Starter
requires 7.2V battery pack, sold separately). ADSPEC GP
2-channel transmitter and TRU-03 receiver with fail safe
device are included.
OPTION PARTS AVAILABLE SOON!
Both performance-enhancing and
cosmetic Option Parts are planned for release in the
near future. Keep an eye out especially for
announcements of the 2-speed transmission that will
increase top speed to 80km/hr (approx. 50mph) and
powerful twin disc brakes.
While the Nitrage shares the same 5.2cc engine and
wheels/tires with the TNX 5.2R, they are only cosmetic
similarities. This is a brand new chassis with a unique
layout that has been designed specifically for off-road
racing. Its lower ride-height means a lower
center-of-gravity, giving the Nitrage superb cornering
performance. Take a look at the picture above to see the
difference for yourself (TNX 5.2R on the left, Nitrage
5.2 on the right).
