Performance Breakdown of the Nitrage 5.2 Truggy

The Tamiya 44050 Nitrage 5.2 is a 1/8 scale truggy that combines a potent nitro engine with a robust chassis layout to meet the demands of club racing and aggressive recreational use.

FR-32FX Engine Overview

The FR-32FX 5.2cc engine gives the Nitrage 5.2 a dependable power source with a broad usable range. Coupled with a 150cc fuel tank, the setup supports extended sessions and fewer refills during practice or events.

Structural Chassis Features

The pressed aluminium chassis deck lowers centre of gravity while providing a rigid base for predictable handling. Its construction makes it straightforward to service and adjust when tuning the truggy for different tracks.

Drivetrain Durability and Suspension Setup

The shaft-driven 4WD with three enclosed differentials resists contamination and wear in off-road conditions. The adjustable 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and stabiliser bars let you refine handling balance for precision driving.

Visual Design and Practical Details

The Nitrage 5.2 combines purposeful bodywork with a rear wing to aid aerodynamic stability and presentation at the track. The look supports its performance orientation without unnecessary flair.
