i dont much about it, but it seems like it would be an awesome truck, plus its a tamiya, and its got a big engine
let us know how it runs when you get the chance

hey there,

had it running yesterday i think it could do with a new spark plug but other than that it runs perfect took it on a motorcross track and it had no problem at all even went better than some of the bikes !!!!

only problem i had was starting it when it was hot but even then it want that bad cos its on a drill start

Tamiya has a bad rep for parts supply, (probably cause theres so many of them) but although I dont have a Nitrage I have always thought they are the meanest and best looking truggy around. Good luck. If you say good things I might get one myself.....

if your truck is hard to start, its probably running to lean, and because the engine is new, your gonna need a new glow plug after the engine is broken in
i agree, its an awesome lookin truggy

Had the nitrage out since i said it was hard too start and got the problem down too flooding the engine, when i had it out this time i did not draw as much fuel through and it started perfect ! i have thrown everything i can at this truggy and it just bounces back, i honestly find it hard to belive it aint broke yet. I am taking it out again now and i will prob break it after sayin all that lol

Saw one at the track the other day.They look great and this one sounded even better.It just had a mean growl to it.I like how they come apart easy for maintenace also.Tamyia is not very popular with the local racing crowd but I liked what I saw.

post some pics! or a video so we can hear it,
if your engine is flooding, you have tuned too rich, but it sounds like your having a good time with it

i think i was using the wrong fuel i was running it on 33% then tried 16% and now it really goes alot better i will get some video as soon as i can mate and get it up pics as well

i really like truggies, I'm having a blast with mine, check my album, theres a couple pics in there
my truggy has an axial .28 spec 1s rr and i run it with 25% trinity fuel and its the best running engine I've ever had, the nitrage has a .32 right?
