HPI Racing is proud to announce the updated RTR Nitro Rush Evo! This "Evo" version of our popular Nitro Rush truck is packed with features designed to get new owners on the track faster and more conveniently than ever! With a more powerful engine, Roto Start System, prepainted body and more, this is the ideal RTR 2WD stadium truck for Nitro off-road fans!
Preassembled on a strong 2.5mm thick black anodized 6061 aluminum chassis, the RTR Nitro Rush Evo also features a redesigned transmission case and all-new engine brace to improve chassis rigidity. Our HPI TX-2 radio, receiver and servos provide a reliable and trustworthy electronics package.
The heart of the new and improved RTR Nitro Rush Evo is the brand new T-15 engine, providing more mid-range power and top end speed! A tall cast aluminum heatsink head on the T-15 keeps it cool and running smoothly, and the 2-needle carb allows owners to tune the engine precisely for their conditions. The T-15 uses true ABC construction for extra durability, and breathes through a large pre-oiled air filter and our aluminum header/composite tuned pipe combo - a great way to get tons of power to the ground! The included HPI Roto Start System lets the engine start up with push-button convenience! No more fumbling for a starter cord - just attach the glow plug igniter and Roto Start, hit the button and go!
Putting the power to the ground is a ball bearing-equipped durable 3-gear transmission featuring strong steel dogbones and a sealed gear diff. An adjustable slipper clutch is standard equipment, which helps reduce drivetrain stress. Oil-filled coilover shocks enhance traction on any racing surface, and are easily tuned to any racer's driving style.
Topping off each RTR Nitro Rush Evo is a bright red prepainted, trimmed and decaled body, ready to go right out of the box. The body has been strengthened by the use of thicker polycarbonate plastic, and the bright red paint is sure to get the attention at the track! Our popular F5 spoke wheels wrapped with our new super soft rear "X" and front ribbed tires enhance the looks of the total package.

The RTR Nitro Rush Evo is a terrific way to get introduced to Nitro R/C! Because it is completely assembled, getting started is just a matter of about an hour's worth of work, and you're off and running!
Cleanup couldn't be easier, either - with a covered receiver case, fully enclosed battery compartment and removable radio tray, it's just a matter of spraying off the chassis with our #9062 Nitro Car Cleaner to get rid of road dirt.
Easy to Upgrade!
In addition to any of our MT Truck bodies,
the RTR Nitro Rush Evo can also accept any of our Truck wheels,
shocks, springs...
it's all available and waiting to fit! In the HPI tradition of
parts compatibility, many of the drivetrain hop-up parts from our popular
Nitro RS4 MT will bolt right on. Of course, there are several hop-ups
available just for the Rush Evo, including a stronger chassis, graphite
upper deck and many more to come. We even have HPI brand Power Fuel, Nitro
Start-Up sets, fuel bottles, and Nitro Car Cleaner available so you can
get rolling as quickly and easily as possible. See our Option Parts page for all the items you will need!
Terrific value!
Our new RTR Nitro Rush Evo is the successor to the hugely popular Nitro Rush!
Great radio!
The HPI TX-2 radio system included with HPI RTR kits is packed with features.
The super narrowband AM transmitter and receiver work together to let
you precisely control your car. Six different crystal choices let you
race with your friends!
The radio transmitter is comfortable to hold and features a battery strength indicater, letting you know when the batteries need to be replaced or charged. The transmitter also features a retractable antenna, steering and throttle trim dials (for fine adjustments to center the servos), plus a dual rate adjustment for the steering! Dual rate is very important because it lets you adjust how far the steering servo turns the front wheels left and right.
Two strong servos are also installed in each HPI RTR Nitro kit, already plugged into the standard size super narrowband AM receiver. A convenient on/off switch is also included!
If a warranty issue is ever encountered, Airtronics handles all USA returns and repairs. Upgrades are also available from your local hobby shop!
Four AA batteries are needed to fit in the car battery holder, with 8 AA batteries needed for the transmitter.
