Acme Racing Cyclone PRO Nitro RC Car - Subaru Style Version

Professional-Grade On-Road Nitro Performance

The Acme Racing Cyclone PRO - Subaru Style Version represents the highest level of performance in Acme's on-road nitro range. Engineered for serious racers, the Cyclone PRO offers outstanding speed, razor-sharp handling, and professional-grade mechanical features. It has been upgraded beyond the standard Cyclone model with a two-speed automatic gearbox, a fully ball-raced system, and tough aluminium adjustable shocks, creating a competitive racing platform capable of precise, stable, high-speed driving.

Its Subaru-style aerodynamic body shell enhances realism while contributing to high-speed stability and downforce.

Two-Speed Automatic Gearbox for Maximum Acceleration and Top Speed

The Cyclone PRO features an advanced two-speed automatic gearbox, providing rapid acceleration off the line and seamless transition into a higher gear for increased top speed. This system optimises both short-track performance and long straight-line speed without requiring any manual adjustment from the driver.

The benefit is immediate, powerful acceleration in first gear, followed by smooth, efficient power delivery in second gear - ideal for competitive on-road racing.

Fully Ball-Raced Drivetrain and 4WD System

Unlike entry-level models using metal bushings, the Cyclone PRO uses racing-grade ball bearings throughout the drivetrain, dramatically reducing friction and improving efficiency. This upgrade enhances:

• Acceleration response.
• Smoothness and stability at speed.
• Component lifespan.
• Overall performance under racing conditions.

The shaft-driven 4WD system distributes power evenly across all four wheels, providing superior traction driving cornering, braking, and sudden acceleration. Working front and rear bevel differentials further improve stability and allow the car to rotate smoothly through chicanes and hairpin turns.

Aluminium Adjustable Oil-Filled Shocks

For predictable and responsive handling, the Cyclone PRO equips aluminium oil-filled shocks mounted to a rigid chassis. The shocks are fully adjustable, allowing drivers to fine-tune damping rate, rebound, and angle to suit different track surfaces or driving preferences.

With a low centre of gravity, carefully engineered suspension geometry, and a moderate track width, the Cyclone PRO maintains excellent grip and balance through high-speed manoeuvres.

Powerful and Reliable SH .18 Nitro Engine

Under the aerodynamic Subaru-style shell lies a high-quality SH .18 nitro engine, engineered in Taiwan for high reliability and ease of use. Its simplified single-needle carburettor makes tuning far more accessible than multi-needle setups, ensuring stable performance for both experienced racers and advanced beginners.

Performance benefits include:

• Strong low-end torque.
• Smooth throttle progression.
• High top-end speed.
• Reliable starting in a variety of conditions.

Combined with the two-speed gearbox, the SH .18 engine allows the Cyclone PRO to reach its full performance potential quickly and consistently.

Durable Construction and Electronic Protection

The car's solid alloy chassis offers rigidity and impact resistance, enabling stable high-speed operation on smooth tarmac tracks. The sealed radio box protects sensitive electronics from debris and splashes, increasing reliability during extended use.

The metal disc brake system delivers strong, progressive braking control, allowing racers to precisely manage corner entry speed. All electronics are linked to a 2.4 GHz radio system, providing interference free operation and dependable signal locking during group racing events.

The model arrives fully built with a pre-painted Subaru-style shell, requiring only fuel, batteries, and a glowstarter to begin running.
