The Tamiya 43514 Nitro Thunder delivers a ready-to-run nitro experience in 1/10 scale, combining a .15 engine with a sturdy NDF-01 chassis. It balances straightforward maintenance with race-capable features for regular track use.
The .15 slide carb engine provides lively acceleration and usable top-end performance, with reported speeds up to about 36mph. The rear exhaust layout helps keep heat and gases away from the chassis and radio gear.
Long suspension arms keep the wheel alignment steady through large travel, helping the buggy stay composed over bumps. The front impact control mount adds strength where crashes occur most, and a low centre of gravity enhances mid-corner grip.
The single-speed drivetrain uses universal joints for clean power transfer and the use of extra-large ball bearings is intended to reduce wear. The compact fuel tank is positioned for reliable feed. Overall size is 440mm length with a 300mm wheelbase and weight of 2570g.
The Nitro Thunder suits experienced modellers who want an RTR nitro buggy with solid handling and room for tuning upgrades.
