Tamiya 43514 Nitro Thunder 1/10 RTR Off-Road Buggy  [43514]

Compact 1/10 nitro buggy made for dirt tracks

The Tamiya 43514 Nitro Thunder brings 1/10 scale nitro excitement with a factory-ready setup that keeps servicing simple. The combination of a .15 slide carb engine and proven Tamiya layout makes it a capable choice for outdoor practice and club events.

Engine specifics and exhaust layout

The .15 engine provides a punchy power delivery relative to its size, and the rear exhaust layout helps keep the chassis cleaner and components cooler. The powerband is designed to be accessible while still offering strong top-end speed.

Suspension geometry and ride control

Long suspension arms preserve wheel alignment through big hits and deep travel. The front impact control mount adds resilience to knocks, and the overall weight distribution helps the buggy remain composed when cornering at speed.

Chassis components and measurements

The simple single-speed drivetrain uses universal joints to transfer power efficiently, while large ball bearings lower friction for longer life. The fuel tank sits close to the engine for steady delivery. The model weighs 2570g, is 440mm long and has a 300mm wheelbase.

For club racers and nitro fans, the Nitro Thunder balances speed and reliability in a familiar RTR format.
