Standard Parts | Optional Parts

The Nitro Star F3.5 engine provides the grunt needed to get your buggy or truck up to wild speeds - it's loud, it's powerful and it's strong, so you'll be able to rip off huge stunts like record-setting long jumps, backflips, tall jumps, even double backflips!

The F3.5 engine will give you eye-opening acceleration and crazy top speeds! The engine is started by a simple pullstarter system and the two-needle carburretor allows you to fine-tune the performance for any kind of weather or fuel. One added benefit of the Nitro Star F3.5 is that it's a race-legal .21-size engine, which means you can drop down to your local track or club and enter in a race as soon as you open the box!

  • 2.5 horsepower on tap
  • Race-legal .21 engine size
  • True ABC construction for long life
  • Composite carb construction helps prevent heat vaporization of fuel
  • Finned aluminium case
  • Huge aluminium heatsink
  • Tough pullstarter fitted standard
  • 2-stage air filter for extra engine protection
  • Splash cover over air filter keeps the engine from getting flooded with water in wet conditions
  • 2-needle carb adjustment for fine-tuning

On the inside, the F3.5 has true ABC construction, with a chrome-plated brass piston and cylinder surrounded by the lightweight aluminium case. To get you going quickly, the F3.5 uses a pullstarter system, and a large opening on the underside of the chassis allows you to utilise a starter box for even faster engine starting. If you want to upgrade to simple engine starting, just install the #87130 HPI Roto Start 2 engine starting system for push-button engine starting!
