Description
Details
This is the great looking and even better performing HSP nitro radio controlled buggy. The buggy is extra tough and a good all rounder performing well both on road and off. The Backwash is feature packed making it one of the top spec buggies on the market and the .18 engine along with the automatic 2 speed gearbox makes it extremely quick. Please note there are two other cheaper versions of the HSP nitro buggy but this is the top of the range one that has the two speed gearbox and also the pivot ball suspension. These also have our Nitrotek upgrades on them such as the chrome finished wheels, SH engine, waterproof electronics and wheel type transmitter. The Backwash comes fully built with everything included apart from fuel, glow start (both optional extras on this page above) and 12 normal AA batteries.
The Nitrotek versions of this nitro radio controlled buggy have been upgraded with high quality SH engines. SH engines are renowned for their quality and power
Nitrotek have specified this Backwash so that it is kitted out with wheel type 2.4GHz controllers. These have many advantages over AM/FM transmitters:
- Improved reliability due to less interference at this frequency range
- Quicker more responsive control
- Lower power consumption
- Many models can drive together at once without need for checking frequencies and crystals etc

4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
This model has 4 wheel drive giving better grip for better handling. These hobby grade RC cars also feature working front and rear differentials that further improves handling.
SOLID ALUMINIUM CHASSIS

IMPACT RESISTANT CHROME WHEELS

1:10 SCALE

ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION SYSTEM

POWERFUL .18 NITRO ENGINE
SH 18 engine made in Taiwan to ensure the highest quality.
75cc FUEL TANK WITH SPLASH GUARD
Spend less time refueling and more time driving.
ENCLOSED RADIO BOX
Splash-proof receiver is stored in a sealed box to further protect the electronics from splashes and rain.
AUTOMATIC 2 SPEED GEARBOX
The two speed gearbox uses the first gear for quicker acceleration and the second gear for higher top speed. The speed at which it changes gear can be adjusted.
ALL NEW 2.4GHz RADIO TRANSMITTER
All new 2.4GHz radio technology is used. This is more reliable than the old FM equipment and allows multiple RC cars to be usd in the same area without interference.

Backwash
By John July 09, 2020For the money it's a nice buggy has got a two speed gearbox and you can upgrade parts on it if you want to if you don't want to spend too much money this is a good one to start with and it's very fast and is good on road or off road the only thing that I found was the bodyshell was not a great fit but is easy to sort out all in all am very happy with it the delivery took longer than normal but with everything that is going on totally understandable
