Nitrage 5.2
 

Hey everyone I am looking at buying a Nitrage for $200. Is this a good deal? Kinda new to the nitro thing. I read this truck is discontinued. Is it hard to get parts for now? Any help is greatly appreciated.

noone has an opinion on this truck? Need some kind of input please.

Hi,

I have a Nitrage fitted with the optional 2 speed tranny and truggy wheels.
It's a great basher truggy, Tough as nails.
It comes with a Force .32 motor so it runs like a raped ape...
never had a tuning issue with the engine either.
It just needs a better steering servo (Hitec 7955), pipe (Dynamite 086) and stronger springs (TNX 5.2r)

It's not a race truggy.

.

There is pretty much ZERO support for this truck anymore. Id pass based on that if I break it, its pretty much a pile of unusable parts.

The plastic spur gear in the center gear box (no center diff) don't last, the clutch bell had a slot for a tiny dog bone to turn the center gear box and so you cannot change to the common clutch bell with 3 shoes, and... the original 2 piece spring 'wrap around' clutch shoe also don't last...

The gears in the rotor-starter don't last too.

Three years of bashing mine pretty hard and haven't had any issues yet
I bash with mainly Savages and the Nitrage whips them good.

I did convert my rotor start to pull start.

Thanks guys. Bought the truck but being new to this nitro thing i am having trouble getting it started lol.
