Acme Racing Cyclone PRO Nitro RC Car - Mazda Style Version

Top-Tier On-Road Nitro Performance

The Acme Racing Cyclone PRO - Mazda Style Version is engineered for serious racers who demand high speed, exceptional responsiveness, and consistent on-road handling. As Acme's quickest on-road model, the Cyclone PRO delivers a level of precision and performance rarely found at this price point. Its upgraded drivetrain components, advanced gearbox system, and refined suspension ensure that it performs with authority on straights, chicanes, and tight technical circuits.

While accessible to experienced hobbyists, the Cyclone PRO is built with racing in mind, offering stability, control, and the raw performance needed for competitive running.

Two-Speed Automatic Gearbox for Maximum Speed

A major enhancement over the standard Cyclone is the inclusion of a two-speed automatic gearbox. This system provides rapid acceleration off the line in first gear, then seamlessly shifts into second gear for significantly higher top speeds. The gearbox is engineered for efficiency, smooth transition, and long-term durability under racing conditions.

This gearing strategy optimises both short-track acceleration and long straight-line performance, making the Cyclone PRO versatile across various circuit layouts.

Fully Ball-Raced Drivetrain and 4WD System

The Cyclone PRO is fitted with a fully ball-raced drivetrain, replacing standard metal bushings with smoother, low-friction ball bearings throughout the driveline. This upgrade significantly reduces resistance, resulting in:

• Faster acceleration.
• Higher maximum speed.
• Improved efficiency.
• Longer component lifespan.

The shaft-driven 4WD system ensures consistent power delivery to all four wheels, providing superior traction during cornering, braking, and high-speed manoeuvres. Working front and rear differentials enhance rotational control and reduce wheel hop, improving stability on high-grip surfaces.

Aluminium Adjustable Suspension

To ensure predictable, race-optimised handling, the Cyclone PRO includes aluminium oil-filled shocks mounted to a robust alloy chassis. These adjustable shocks allow the driver to fine-tune damping characteristics and shock angle, matching the car's behaviour to different track surfaces or racing styles.

Combined with low centre of gravity, precision steering geometry, and stable track width, the Cyclone PRO delivers quick turn-in response, high grip levels, and excellent mid-corner balance.

SH /.18 Engine: Reliable, Fast, and Easy to Tune

Powering the Cyclone PRO is a high-quality SH .18 nitro engine, manufactured in Taiwan and selected for its balance of power output, reliability, and user-friendly design. Featuring a single-needle carburettor, this engine is far easier to tune than multi-needle systems, making it ideal for racers who want consistent running without constant adjustments.

Key performance advantages include:

• Strong torque delivery for quick acceleration.
• Stable top-end performance for long straights.
• Smooth throttle response.
• Reliable cold and hot starting behaviour.

The engine integrates perfectly with the two-speed gearbox, enabling the Cyclone PRO to extract maximum speed potential.

High-Quality Construction and Electronics

Built with a rigid alloy chassis, countersunk fasteners, and a sealed radio box, the Cyclone PRO is designed to withstand the stresses of on-road racing. The chassis layout optimises weight distribution while protecting sensitive electronics from dust and splashes.

The included 2.4GHz 2-channel radio system offers interference-free control and precise steering and throttle response, essential for racing environments where multiple RC cars operate simultaneously. The pre-painted Mazda-style body shell provides aerodynamic stability and a sleek, aggressive appearance befitting a professional racing platform.
