| FEATURES |
| |
| Four Wheel Drive (4WD) drivetrain system |
| The Nitro King’s full-time 4WD all-steel drivetrain system features three differentials and allows for maximum traction and high efficiency power transfer from engine to tires. While the competition is skidding out with their rear-wheel drive, hug the turn with all four wheels spinning! The high quality central drivetrain uses U-joint 12 mm thick OS driveshaft technology to give the impressive acceleration and top speed. With four wheels gripping, you can really see the difference in not only acceleration but super grip traction. With lightweight drivetrain components you achieve the best power-to-weight ratio. Features include steel helical cut rings and pinions, extra thick driveshafts, and 32.0:1 lower and 21.9:1 upper gear ratio. Designed for conditions that don’t even resemble a road, the Nitro King and its 4WD system conquers all. If you’re still using 2WD vehicles, come see the difference 4WD can make! |

| High Power 15CXP Nitro Engine |
| The Nitro King’s aggressive two-stroke High Output Power (HPO) 15CXP 2.46cc nitromethane engine packs a huge punch for its size. This smooth idling, easy tuning nitro engine is a reliable piece of machinery designed for speed – and with a top speed of over 45 km/h you’ll notice the difference quality makes. The 15CXP puts out 1.75hp and 34,000 R.P.M., and features superior CNC machining and a Nitro Accelerator Pipe™ aluminum tuned exhaust system. This little beast provides a lot of bang for your buck! An easily tunable 7 mm slide carburetor, fiberglass precision disc brake system, and an extra protection foam air filter round out this powerful nitro. |

| Independent Dual Suspension System |
| Racing in the dirt? The Nitro King can’t be beat. Four fully independent dual (8 shocks total) wishbone suspension arm/shock absorbers and reinforced shock towers make up the most impressive feature of the Nitro King. With super-thick, extra-support dual suspension arms, and longer control arms, this vehicle was made for the dirt and rocks, without sacrificing turning and handling performance. The huge suspension system features 70 mm ground clearance, long-travel coil-over 12 mm diameter shock absorbers, neon springs and metal suspension braces. Spring pre-load is adjustable via clip-on spacers for ultimate precision and customization. Long travel, optimized oils, and conical pistons increase stability over rough terrain without sacrificing performance. These shock absorbers are optimized for tighter turning off-road performance; amazing handling combined with the ability to perform on any terrain make the Nitro King ideal for off-road adventuring! |
| |
| Maximum Power Transfer Metal Chassis |
| The Nitro King keeps it light for speed without sacrificing strength. Our “Maximum Power Transfer” chassis system can take the most abuse of any chassis/suspension system out there. With a 2.5mm 6061-T6 aircraft-quality aluminum grey-anodized lightweight base plate and 60 mm undercarriage impact brace, the internal components stay protected even from the worst terrain and most hostile conditions while maintaining a great power-to-weight ratio. Impacts are entirely transferred from the suspension system to the full-metal base plate and shock towers through thick front/rear suspension arms and shock absorbers. With tapered base plate edges for rigidity and high-stress undercarriage reinforcement, collisions and impacts won’t bend the chassis and add stiffness for off-road performance. |
| |
| Off-Road Knife Grip Tires and Extra-Large Wheels |
| Featuring 162 mm diameter, 87 mm wide wheels and our special Knife Grip tires, the Nitro King has the ultimate 4WD off-road setup! Made for getting over any obstacle,, pre-glued tires feature extra thickness for maximum durability, as well as multi-purpose Knife Grip treads for gripping tight on any surface without losing speed. Combine these insane wheels with the 4WD system and this nitro is unbeatable on any track. The extra large wheels are perfect for transferring maximum power; their construction is of high-quality impact-molded plastic with 5-spoke Ninja Star collision-geometry support for the roughest impacts and stiffest turn performance. With these monstrous wheels you’ll be rolling over anything in your way! |

| High Quality Electronics and Radio System |
| Only the best servos and radio units go into our vehicles. Preinstalled electronics are of the highest quality and durability, with tightly sealed housing for reliability and protection. A long-range FM 27 MHz radio system allows for lightning-quick precision control with low power consumption and great interference-resistance for the most convenience possible. Two full-metal gear 6.8 kg-cm throttle/brake and steering servos offer super fast response and added durability over regular plastic gear servos. These high-torque servos really make a difference over our competitors’, with precision-manufactured inner metal gears for super long life and extra torque. Easy to use trim settings allow you to custom tune your vehicles throttle and steering without having to take it apart and modify internals. |
