HPI Rush Evo Nitro RTR 1/10 Scale 2WD Remote Control Stadium Truck
Works 100%
Get ready for our race-ready Nitro Rush, HPI's first 2WD Nitro-powered truck! The Nitro Rush kits are available now! These pre-assembled trucks are ready to go right out of the box, with a pre-painted, pre-drilled and cut out body!
How did we go about designing this totally new truck? We started with a 2.5mm thick purple anodized aluminum countersunk chassis, which features a large "tunnel" for extreme strength. The refined Nitro Star 15FE engine sits on an engine plate that is shaped to provide extra reinforcement for the rear end of the chassis. The Nitro Star 15FE is one of the easiest-to-tune engines ever, with just one carb adjustment and many improvements made in the past several months for more power and strength! You'll get real top-end speed and lots of fun out of this engine!
The Nitro Star 15FE engine breathes in through an open-cell foam air filter, and out through a finned header, which attaches to our excellent plastic dual-chamber tuned pipe with a silicone "J" tube. Our plastic tuned pipe has almost the same performance our regular aluminum tuned pipe, plus it costs much less so YOU don't have to pay more to have great performance! Using a new plastic welding technology and a dual chamber design, our new tuned pipe is better than any other plastic tuned pipe currently available. It won't bend in crashes and features the "HPI Oval" logo, as well as a cool inline pressure fitting for a sleek, clean look.
The Nitro Rush is our first two-drive truck, and we've taken many standard features of other off-road kits and tweaked them with "the HPI touch". The Nitro Star 15FE drives the Nitro Rush's spur gear, which sits on a slipper pad that can be easily adjusted with the included HPI cross wrench. An enclosed "lay-down" type 3-gear transmission transfers power to the maintenance-free gear differential, on the way to the rear wheels. The entire drivetrain runs on a full set of ball bearings, including the front wheels and all the transmission parts! Want to slow this monster down? A vented plastic disc brake comes standard, which can easily be upgraded to our fiber disc brake.
The suspension uses proven racing geometry for a solid ride and easy driving. Our own composite long-stroke oil-filled coil-over shocks are assembled and installed front and rear, with optional mounting holes for easy tuning. Optional springs (yellow and blue) are already available, as well as aluminum shock kits, so you can customize the kit immediately! The nylon suspension arms, shock towers and camber links are super-strong, yet flex in a crash so you can keep going where other trucks can't!
The tough, slick-looking plastic upper deck helps the truck look great, but it's functional, too: The fuel tank, receiver and steering servo are directly in the center of the Nitro Rush for great handling!
An ingenious new overflow system make sure excess fuel is directed not around the rest of the truck, but through a hole in the bottom of the chassis. Awesome! The steering servo connects directly to the front steering arms through a huge servo saver, so you won't have to worry about your servo taking any damage while running the Nitro Rush. The receiver lies in a protected area of the chassis, in front of the fuel tank covered by a door in the upper deck. A body clip holds the door shut, preventing fuel and dirt from damaging the electronics.
All-new wheels and tires compliment the radical styling of the Nitro Rush body: Type F5 5-spoke truck wheels in a cool molded dark gray color are wrapped with all-purpose HPI multi-rib front and "X" rear tires. This combination is great for all-around traction and fun! On the street, the tires won't wear out quickly, and in the rough stuff the grip is phenomenal!
