High-Output Performance Overview for Tamiya 44050 Nitrage 5.2

The Tamiya 44050 Nitrage 5.2 is built for drivers who want true nitro speed and precise handling in a 1/8 scale truggy. It blends purposeful styling with proven mechanical layout to deliver confident performance off road.

FR-32FX Powerplant Details

The heart of this model is the FR-32FX engine, a 5.2cc nitro unit engineered for consistent power delivery. The engine works with a 150cc fuel capacity to give extended run sessions between refuels, making it practical for long practice or race days.

Aluminium Chassis and Balance

A pressed aluminium chassis deck gives the Nitrage 5.2 a stiff, low-profile base that supports stable handling and straightforward setup. The deck design balances strength with weight control so tuning changes translate predictably on track.

Transmission and Adjustable Suspension

The shaft-driven 4WD layout with three sealed differentials provides durable traction across varied surfaces. Adjustable 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and stabilizer bars let you dial in handling for your preferred driving style.

Design and Aerodynamics

Beyond performance, the bodywork and rear wing add aerodynamic stability and an aggressive look that fits competitive events and club days. The styling reflects function while making a statement on the course.

The Tamiya Nitrage 5.2 gives experienced RC drivers a robust platform for competitive or recreational off-road running. With tuneable suspension, a durable drivetrain, and a high-capacity tank, it suits long sessions and setup experimentation.

Assembly requires basic modelling skills and patience; the modular chassis helps, but newcomers should allow several evenings and consult build guides for engine and radio installation.
Use a reliable 2-channel radio and a high-torque metal gear servo for steering. Choose a quality glow igniter and fuel pump for tuning and refuelling to keep the FR-32FX running smoothly.
Run time varies with setup and driving style, but the 150cc fuel capacity is sized for extended sessions so you can complete multiple heats before refuelling.
Regular checks include cleaning gearboxes, inspecting suspension links and bearings, and tuning the engine. Replace worn clutch or drivetrain parts to keep performance consistent.
