the chassis is stamped prone to bend and not cnc machined. Can someone check the price for a new chassis or a option version that is cnc machined or 6065 at least? best if 7075

I believe press moulding makes the chassis plate more rigid and LESS prone to bending.

The spares are starting to roll in. Parts bag A, B, C, D, E, F, G..... the plastic parts mostly like wing, arms, gear case, etc. Looks like Stargek is starting to get deadly serious about nitrage spares! I have yet to see the common spares though like clutch parts, dogbones, gears, slipper....

Saw this Nitrage raced at the Singapore Invitational Race at Turf City. Not impressive...

I bet its the turns that slow this truck down. It looks too bulky to make sharper turns. Probably has wide turning like my TNX. Only way for Nitrage to win is to burst out in front, then block everyone from overtaking.

The straight line power is good. Body work caught my eye to identify the truggy. Maybe the driver wasn't fantastic

I think it needs refuel more often than 21 size engine.

Truggy was racing among the truggy class. Apparently there were no limit to motor size for the truggy class

yes theres no motor limit but bigger motor has no advantage against 21size except heavier n more torque, refuel more often.

Looks like the Nitrage has a defective tranny.
