he was well impresed because usualy they are randomy laying on the floor

so he goes to the t-maxx ang give it a wobble and says wow you put it back together then looked at all of them and sayed well done how long did that take you then he goes to the savage and says this looks good were did you get that (i bought it off a friend for 75pounds with no engine) then suddenl bang ahhhhhhhhhh the savage fell off the wall and smaked him on the head lol trust it to be the heavyest one lol dident break the mighty savage lol he is takin all of them off the wall except the t-maxx and nitrage lol

RE: Tamiya Nitrage 5.2, The Offical Thread
 

Some cheap stupid one I got when I got my Nitrage at my LHS.

Its called Super Thermal Protected BC - 725A Ni-Mh, Ni-Cd Battery Charger.

I has one light, red to say its on. Thats it.

I dont really need a great charger because I only have 1 battery to charge and thats for the roto start.

I need to get hangers to put my Nitrage up on teh wall, I dont like this stand. I use that Duratrax thingy, useless.

I NEVER LEAVE MY RC THIGYS IN THE GARAGE.!

I cant lol, my Nitrage is always with me, in my room, where I can see it :D

I dont trust my dad and brother lol.

It will desperately need to be cleaned tomorrow.

First it needs to be desperately driven :D

Trying to find an old peice of fuel tubing, my antenna tube keeps coming out.

I wonder why I have problems with everything Duratrax makes. :S ?

Nice deal on the savage btw.

Id buy the revo in a second if it was 1/8 scale.! I love the look of that truck.!

RE: Tamiya Nitrage 5.2, The Offical Thread

RE: Tamiya Nitrage 5.2, The Offical Thread

gaiz, thanks for the reply and tips - need to get a detailed break down from nauticar!

joegould111, sorry to hear about the arm. beware of flying objects, esp the ones you are controlling! *LOL*

that air filter is a Kyosho type meant for the Inferno GT?

cheers

RE: Tamiya Nitrage 5.2, The Offical Thread
 

Here you go

And the Nitrage Kit too obviousely lol.

RE: Tamiya Nitrage 5.2, The Offical Thread
 

giaz

looking at the list, there only seems to be two hop-up options included in the kit version namely 1) stabilizer set and 2) front brake set.

these are not expensive parts and don't really go towards justifying the high cost price of the kit form.

i prefer the price of the rtr version and could live with some disassembly to get the truggy into it's best starting condition. i would normally strip down the engine, differentials and shock to have a good look before the first run and break-in procedure anyway.

kit form comes less, a) tires, b) radio gear, c) starter gearbox, d) electric hand-held-starter, e) glow plug heater, f) painted body shell

nauticar, can you add any more comments?

RE: Tamiya Nitrage 5.2, The Offical Thread
 

i think the kit it worth the extra cash just because of the clear body lol am i right in thinking that it only cost 20 pounds more

RE: Tamiya Nitrage 5.2, The Offical Thread
 

@ etops

Yeah your right, hit for the RTR

@ Joel

I so want a clear body, tamiya havent released it yet, will be doing so soon.

RE: Tamiya Nitrage 5.2, The Offical Thread
 

Alright heres the break down of what happened at the track.

3 Nitrages, mine was the last one standing :D

RCpowerhorses starter system took a dump on him.
And another kid destroyed his clutch.

I ended up spending more than 5 hours at the track, 1 more gallon through, and my engine is not dying anymore, I swear this thing has a mind of its own.

Me and RC drag raced and mine absoloutely FLEW :D

Need more Nitro tho now.

Also was running good temps, only thing, I need 2 new a - arms lol, the ones I have are alright, but the screw stripped the inner's of them.

Mine was absoloutely amazing today :D

Gotta wait for a Sit rep from RC about his.

His went through id say about 6 - 7 tanks before the 1 way bearing in his roto starter blew.

Gonna clean mine down now

RE: Tamiya Nitrage 5.2, The Offical Thread
 

well i stopped off at toys a us on the way back got a set of hex screws, glow plugs and exhaust gaskets got home tightened up the starter and i'll put it back 2together when ive done my home work

RE: Tamiya Nitrage 5.2, The Offical Thread
