Tamiya 43525 Nitro Crusher 1/10 Scale Nitro Truggy  [43525]

Tamiya 43525 Nitro Crusher Overview

The Tamiya 43525 Nitro Crusher brings nitro realism to a 1/10 truggy package, combining an FS-15S motor with a shaft driven 4WD system to deliver consistent traction and engine character on rough circuits.

Engine Characteristics and Frame Notes

The FS-15S engine features a 2.5cc displacement and a large diameter slide carburetor for smooth throttle response. It is fitted with a recoil starter for straightforward firing and is supplied pre-tuned. The chassis benefits from a reinforced resin lower deck and an aluminium die-cast engine mount to keep things rigid under load.

Suspension Layout and Power Transfer

Handling comes from the 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension which helps maintain mechanical grip over uneven ground. The Frontal Impact Control System reduces damage from frontal impacts, and the drivetrain's universal joints ensure efficient transfer of power to all wheels.

Radio Feel and Driver Interface

The transmitter, designed by H.A. Muth, puts the steering wheel and throttle trigger where precise inputs are natural. Soft resin elements on the controller add comfort for extended practice or race days.

The Tamiya 43525 Nitro Crusher suits model drivers who prefer nitro propulsion with a robust, serviceable chassis. Its layout supports both practice sessions and informal competition with sensible upgrade paths.
