The Legendary Tamiya Nitrage was my dream rc car growing up! I ended up owning it 16 years later and this thing is an absolute beauty and ripppsss!! Hope you enjoy the video :) From Tamiyas words: In 2007 Tamiya's 1/8 R/C Truggy, the Nitrage was a high-performance Ready-To-Run model packed with innovative features that no other machine in its class had. 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.The Nitrage is equipped with the formidable FR-32FX 5.2cc (.32 cubic inch) 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)! The optional 2-speed transmission would increase top speed to 80km/hr (approx. 50mph) and provide powerful twin disc brakes.The Nitrage shares the same 5.2cc engine and wheels/tires with the TNX 5.2R, but they are only cosmetic similarities. This is a different 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.
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. 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. Tamiya's Designers 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.
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). 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.
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 + 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. It 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. ADSPEC GP 2-channel transmitter and TRU-03 receiver with fail safe device are included.

That is so beautiful. Your video brought back memories, so I had to get my TNX 5.2R out, clean it and run it after 12 years of not using it. No spare parts anymore 😕

Hey CE. I just came across your channel . I'm a older guy 2yrs short of 50 and find myself following back into childhood passion that brings deep Joy to my heart. RC ing/BMX-Mountain & Road /Kites along with Motorcycles and fast cars. There is no need to explain ! True fanatics understand😊 PASSION . Do you plan on adding any RC bikes to the collection? New Sub here;) I like the grassroots editing without following the bandwagon of others with the hypnotic multi color glitching,Flashing,Fast video cuts placing viewers under a trans. Keep it up👍
wow! brings back memories, was stuck choosing between a nitrage and tnx 5.2r in my tamiya dealership 16? years ago. In the end chose the tnx, and still runs great until now. But in terms of design reckon the nitrage looks better, tnx seems a bit classic, even back then.
Merry Christmas dude. That was Amazing to watch. 👊😎
