Yeah i know, we seem to be a dying breed, i used to have a RS4 but sold it for my voner not looked back yet, so much more of a car and didn't even cost that much, and it seems parts are easy to get too, have to get lhs to order them but only takes a week or so.
your story's strangly like mine, i've got a ten year old inferno which i've dug outta the shed, junked the engine (gs21...urgh) and bodged a novarossi 5port in it and whacked on some foams and it fly's like billy O!
But since getting the rs4 found it wasn't enough for racing and went for the Vone, will see how that fairs when the season starts back up.
Post some pics up of yours....
If you like it that much, update it and get the RRR wce thats what i may do, but don't see the point at the mo, there doesn't seem to be so much difference to warrent another £300 yet.
Yeah i'd def get a 2speed for it , pretty sure kyosho do a conversion, find a part number and get your dealer to order one in, that seems to be the only thing when ordering, if you dont know the number they can't find it easy.
engine wise...not sure about yours, dont think the gs15 is amazing, mite be quick enough for parking lot playing, but you'll need a nice fast engine eventually, Os 12 TZ will do nicely.
Belts over shaft? not sure either, i prefer belts just for looks sake and more feel, seems to drive different, but thats prob just the car, for parking lots shafts are prob better as wont get chewed up like belt do with gravel.
have fun and enjoy it.

THANK YOU FOR STARING THIS POST!!!
All i see is HPI this and Tamiya that.........rarely anything on Kyosho's!!
I just decided to re-enter the nitro r/c world coz I missed it too much (i used to have an 1/8 Inferno like 10yrs ago). I just bought a V-One SII that is completely stock (GS-15R engine, single speed,....). I thought it to be a good intermediate car since I'm only into driving in parking lots and want to work on my drifting skills.
First thing I'm gonna buy is a 2 speed.
I have a ton of questions about the engine....is it good? is it powerful? If i get a tuned pipe will it help on this engine or will it not make a difference? whats the pipe that comes on the car originally...its made out of metal n looks decent....is it a tuned pipe?
What are the pros of a belt drive over a shaft (I was told the belt is a faster car than the shaft driven cars)? I know the weaknesses....
I'll post some pics of my car soon.
Thanks guys!!
