To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Hobbytech is offering a special version of its buggy NXT RR racing car.
Developed based on experience gained with the NXT XR platform, this model features several Racing components designed for demanding drivers.
This edition stands out in particular for:
- A 3 mm aluminum chassis with a 25th Anniversary laser engraving.
- 5 mm CNC-machined 7075 aluminum front and rear shock mounts.
- 4 mm reinforced steering links.
- A semi-painted Bittydesign body, ready for customization.
- An adjustable TZO spoiler with a one-piece mount.
- A Hobbytech 25th Anniversary carrying case specially designed for the vehicle.
The NXT RR thus retains the characteristics of a buggy race car while boasting an exclusive design.
This Combo Limited differs from the classic Race Roller model by the addition of an electronic package KONECT selected to equip the chassis.
The combo includes:
- A ESC brushless KONECT RS8 ELITE.
- A KONECT K8 G2 ELITE 4268 motor rated at 2050Kv.
- A brushless KONECT ELITE HV servo rated at 60 kg.
- A 25T machined aluminum servo arm.
This selection provides you with all the essential equipment needed for the power system and steering of the buggy.
The 2050Kv 4268 motor is designed for use in a 1/8-scale electric buggy, while the brushless 60 kg HV servo provides steering power suited to the demands of off-road driving.
The components are included with the vehicle and must be installed to complete the setup.
The Hobbytech NXT RR EP 25th Anniversary features a mechanical design engineered to withstand the rigors of competition tracks.
Its 3-mm aluminum chassis provides a rigid foundation, while the 5-mm CNC-machined 7075 aluminum shock mounts reinforce the suspension components.
The drivetrain also features several specialized components:
- Spur gear 46-tooth hard-treated steel center gear.
- 13/43-tooth treated steel bevel gears.
- Spring steel drive shaft joints.
- CVD-type front driveshafts.
- Drivetrain mounted on 24 ball bearings.
These components contribute to the durability and smooth operation of the buggy during heavy-duty use.
The NXT RR features four 16 mm all-aluminum hydraulic shock absorbers, designed to absorb the bumps of off-road trails.
The front suspension uses a ball-joint setup, combined with 4 mm Racing steering links.
The reverse-pitch control arms facilitate geometry adjustments during vehicle setup.
The layout of the battery and the ESC has also been revised to optimize the center of gravity, a key factor for the buggy’s balance when cornering and during weight transfer.
To complete this setup, Hobbytech pairs the NXT RR with a set of TZO wheels designed for 1/8 buggy.
The combo includes:
- 4 TZO 201 tires.
- 4 inserts designed to fit the tires.
- 4 white TZO rims.
The tires are delivered unglued, allowing you to assemble the wheels before installing them on the buggy.
This selection complements the electronic equipment of the combo and provides the main components needed to prepare the vehicle.
The NXT RR Race Roller comes with a semi-painted Bittydesign body, allowing the driver to apply their own finish.
Its competition-oriented design is complemented by an adjustable rear wing TZO and its new one-piece mount.
This edition also includes a Hobbytech 25th Anniversary carrying bag, which is convenient for transporting and storing the buggy.
