Fighter NXGEN Overview

Enter Fighter NXGEN! This is an R/C model assembly kit inspired by full size single seater racing buggies popular in the United States of America. The new DT-04 - a 2WD rear-wheel drive buggy chassis - of course offers ease of assembly and lively performance, which is a characteristic of this series. The product name "NXGEN" is based upon the English word "Next Generation" and as you can guess from the name, it gives improved off-road performance, and a wealth of setup possibilities compared to its predecessors. Also, front and rear suspension arms, gears and gearbox are shared from DT-02 and DT-03 chassis cars. Furthermore, many option parts from DT-02 and DT-03 chassis can be used for this new chassis iteration.

The body is a piece to behold as it is comprised of injection molded white polycarbonate. Like the BBX (item 58719), the body components are modular pieces that are screwed onto the main chassis. Unlike the BBX, the body components as previously mentioned are injection molded white polycarbonate rather than vacuum formed clear sheet polycarbonate. The result is an easier assembly process for beginners and veterans alike without having to paint the body. All that is needed is the application of stickers!

Features

  • Two wheelbases can be selected: 265mm for emphasis on handling or 280mm for emphasis on stability. Reassemble the front section to switch between two different wheelbases.
  • The distinctive body features multiple body panels connected to pipe frames; a design inspired by full size racing buggies.
  • Newly designed 2WD rear-wheel drive chassis features durable bathtub frame.
  • The chassis has an inline battery pack position, and a rear-mounted motor to give the rear wheels plenty of traction.
  • The sealed gearbox has a built-in gear differential for smooth cornering and helps keep out dust and dirt.
  • Side pontoons have the ESC mounted on the left and the receiver on the right.
  • Features 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with long arms and employs CVA oil bypass dampers.
  • Front suspension arms have a skid angle of 22.5 degrees.
  • The 3-piece steering tie-rod gives true steering feel.
  • Access the battery pack from the car top. Turn the hood lever and remove the side pins then lift the roof. After that, slide the driver figure forward to access the battery.
  • Ribbed tires are on the front, and grippy square spike tires on the rear.
  • Features hex hubs on the front and rear to allow attachment of different wheels.
  • Features injection molded polycarbonate, glass filled nylon, and nylon parts.
  • Rear damper attachment positions and rear upper arms can be changed for tuning the car.
  • Comes with two sticker marking options and one driver figure.
  • Many separately sold DT-02/DT-03 option parts are compatible, for the DT-04, that provide a wealth of options for fine-tuning.
