Tamiya 44044 1/10 Nitro Force NDF01 Race-Ready 4WD Buggy Kit  [44044]

Tamiya Nitro Force 1/10: Race-Ready 4WD Platform

The Tamiya 44044 - 1/10 RC GP Nitro Force 4WD Buggy is built on the NDF-01 layout to offer predictable handling and room for setup tweaks, making it appropriate for both circuit running and more challenging surfaces.

FR-15S Engine and Tuning Notes

Fitted with the FR-15S (.15 size, 2.5cc) glow-engine, the buggy uses a rear exhaust and slide carburetor that responds well to careful needle adjustments. The braking system uses disks to help manage speed into bends.

Chassis Layout and Suspension Design

The reinforced resin NDF-01 chassis and die-cast aluminium engine mount give structural support while maintaining a low centre of gravity. Independent double wishbone suspension, oil-filled dampers and extended arms help keep the wheels planted through undulating sections.

Drive Train and Aerodynamic Considerations

The shaft-driven 4WD arrangement gives steady power distribution to all wheels for predictable traction, and the aerodynamic bodywork reduces drag to aid both acceleration and top speed on open stretches.

The Tamiya Nitro Force appeals to enthusiasts who want a durable, tuneable nitro buggy capable of strong lap times and adaptable handling across different surfaces.
