Released in 2004, the Nitro Thunder is one of the Nitro series glow-engine-powered R/C buggies released by Tamiya.

The NDF-01 chassis's lower deck is made using the shock-resistant resin with the built-in aluminum engine mount. Like most R/C buggies, it uses the shaft-driven 4WD system with the extended universal shafts and the gearboxes are fully sealed. It is equipped with the large-size ball bearings to handle the large power the glow-engine-powered buggy has.

It is supported by the 4-wheel, fully-adjustable double wishbone suspension system with the CVA dampers. To prevent the front long suspension arms from being damaged, the front suspensions has the Frontal Impact Control System (FICS for short) which absorbs impact via the expandable suspension mount.

Powering the car is the 2.5cc FR-15S glow engine that use the slide caliburator that is fully adjustable. The engine also has the disc-brake-based braking system, which offer better control for braking at top speed. The buggy also has the compact, yet large capacity fuel tank that can fill up to 75cc of fuel. Due to its polycarbonate bodyshell, it is possible to refills the buggy without detaching the bodyshell first. The exhaust pipe is routed to the rear of the buggy.

Unlike the other Nitro series R/C buggy, it is only available in fully assembled form packaged with the R/C system.
