       Since its introduction in June 2004, the TNX has dominated the U.S. R/C racing truck scene with a series of impressive wins, including Monster Madness and the Pro-Line Nitro Maxx Challenge. We now proudly announce our next generation Ready-to-Run nitro monster truck: the TNX 5.2R which is designed to continue this victorious trend with even greater top speeds and performance.

       The new TNX engine features a rear exhaust pipe for bursts of power, pushing this R/C Monster truck to the front of the pack with explosive acceleration and extreme top speeds. The high performance 5.2cc .32 (cubic inch) engine features a slide valve carburetor for optimum response. The New TGM-04 chassis features a 2-speed transmission for reliable shifting and ball pivot suspension equipped with 4 large capacity oil dampers for excellent handling and stability. The Ultra tough chassis frame features reinforced and heavy-duty parts built to take on all kinds of terrain. Steel drive shafts provide improved durability and excellent performance, without adding unnecessary weight. Fully-equipped weight of the new TNX is drastically reduced, weighing in at 4,300g. This is a full 100g lighter than the original TNX, and compares favorably with most 1/10 scale monster trucks.
