Acme Racing Cyclone Mazda Style Nitro RC Car

Beginner-Friendly High-Speed On-Road Nitro Car

The Acme Racing Cyclone Mazda Style is designed for newcomers to nitro-powered on-road racing who want to experience high speed and responsive handling without the complexity of advanced multi-speed gearboxes Featuring a simple, easy-to-use driveline and a beginner-friendly layout, the Cyclone is quick to set up and even quicker ont he track. Although slightly less complex than the PRO version, it still delivers serious performance, making it a highly capable introduction to competitive nitro RC driving.

With its sleek Mazda-style body shell, aerodynamic profile, and responsive steering setup, the Cyclone provides an exciting and accessible route into on-road nitro racing.

Strong Alloy Chassis and 4WD System

The Cyclone is built on a solid aluminium chassis with countersunk screws, creating a flush, low-drag underside that improves stability at high speeds. The rigid alloy construction enhances structural integrity, helping the car maintain consistent handling during rapid acceleration, hard braking, and tight cornering.

The shaft-driven 4WD system distributes power effectively to all four wheels, offering superior grip and stability compared to 2WD models. Working front and rear differentials further improve cornering response, ensuring the car remains composed and predictable through sweeping bends and rapid directional changes.

Reliable SH .18 Nitro Engine

The Cyclone is equipped with a high-quality SH .18 nitro engine, manufactured in Taiwan to exceptional standards. This engine features a simplified single-needle carburettor, making it easier to start, tune, and operate than traditional multi-needle setups. Despite its simplicity, the SH .18 delivers impressive power output, giving the Cyclone fast acceleration and an exhilarating top speed.

Supporting engine features include:

• A 75 cc fuel tank with splash guard for longer runtime.
• A pull-start system for straightforward starting.
• Efficient cooling and exhaust routing.
• Strong low-end torque for responsive throttle control.

Adjustable Suspension with Sway Bars

The Cyclone's suspension system is engineered for predictable, stable high-speed driving. It includes:

• Oil filled adjustable shocks, enabling drivers to fine-tune damping and shock angle.
• Factory-fitted sway bars, reducing chassis roll and improving consistency during quick directional changes.

These components work together to provide excellent grip on tarmac and other smooth surfaces, making the Cyclone responsive and confidence-inspiring even for inexperienced drivers.

On-Road Durability and Electronics Protection

To withstand the demands of high-speed on-road racing, the Cyclone includes several durability-focused features:

• large foam front bumper that absorbs impact energy and protects the chassis during collisions.
• A sealed radio box, shielding the receiver and electronics from dust, splashes, and debris.
• A pre-painted Mazda-style body shell designed for strong airflow and added crash resistance.

The included 2.4GHz radio system provides reliable, interference-free control, allowing multiple cars to run together without signal problems. This makes the Cyclone suitable for club racing, car parks, or track days.
