Introduction to the TNX nitro platform

The Tamiya 43508 TNX Monster Truck with its 3.0 engine is a 1/8 scale nitro machine built for rugged off-road driving. Coming ready to run, it suits hobbyists who want a traditional nitro experience with a serviceable, strong chassis.

Engine layout and ignition aids

At the centre is a .18 cu in (3.0cc) engine equipped with a dual needle slide valve carburetor and race-style crankshaft, delivering controllable power. Included glow plug heating and an electric starter simplify engine management for regular use.

Frame construction and power delivery

The TGM-03 aluminium chassis gives a stiff base while a hardened steel shaft drives the 4WD system, ensuring even power distribution and resilience under load.

Ride control and suspension setup

Eight oil-filled shocks and the double wishbone suspension help the TNX absorb rough landings and maintain traction. Adjustable camber and steering tie rods let you refine the steering feel for different circuits.

Visual detail and finishing

The detailed extended cab pickup body sports bold decals and graphics, matched to chrome-style wheels and V-tread tyres to complete the truck's traditional monster look.

With a focus on durability and straightforward tuning, the TNX is a solid choice for drivers who want a classic nitro monster with proven hardware and a distinctive body style.
