With 14 inches of travel and a mind-blowing acceleration of 0 to 60 in just 1.5 seconds, this car is a force to be reckoned with on the track. It's like Supercross for cars, with massive jumps and heart-stopping maneuvers that push both the car and the driver to their limits.
What sets the Nitro FC 1X apart is its four-wheel drive system with mechanical differentials, allowing for precise power distribution and control. The electric engine, powered by an 800-volt lithium-ion Optima battery, showcases the cutting-edge technology that is shaping the future of racing and road cars alike. Under the hood, the intricate network of motors and differential systems reveals the complexity and sophistication of EV racing technology.
