Tamiya 43508 TNX Monster Truck 3.0 Engine RTR - Off-Road Nitro Pickup  [43508]

Overview of the TNX nitro monster

The Tamiya 43508 TNX Monster Truck with its 3.0 engine is a purpose-built 1/8 scale off-road vehicle. As an RTR model it arrives ready for running and is suited to hobbyists wanting a strong nitro platform with a traditional truck silhouette.

Powertrain specifics and starting aids

The TNX features a .18 cu in (3.0cc) engine using a dual needle slide valve carburetor and a race-style crankshaft for tuned response. The electric starter and glow plug heater included with the kit simplify initial setup and routine starting.

Chassis design and drivetrain strength

Built on the TGM-03 aluminium chassis, the TNX uses a hardened steel drive shaft in its 4WD system to deliver torque across all wheels reliably. The robust construction is aimed at withstanding repeated off-road impacts.

Suspension layout and tuning options

Eight oil-filled shock absorbers and a double wishbone suspension smooth out rough tracks and landings. Drivers can adjust camber and steering tie rods to tune cornering and stability for different courses.

Styling and body features

The extended cab pickup body is finished with bold graphics and decals and sits on chrome-style wheels with V-tread tyres, combining practical function with classic monster truck good looks.

A solid platform for off-road enjoyment, the TNX offers a balance of toughness and adjustability so drivers can tune handling and engine response to match their driving style.
