Status: online 		Does the car preform as well as you expected? I bought a inferno 7.5 rtr buggy some time ago and was not very impressed with the preformance of the rtr version. Is it a difficult to adjust the shift points , or have you felt the need to do that....thanks for the reply.....Bill

You will definetly need a new set of rims and tires right out of the box. As far as the top end goes it's not the craziest i've seen, but thats due to the low low gearing.
I will be playing with some taller gears to get this big bodied car over 50mph. As far as the 2 speed goes, it's real easy to adjust and all the instrustions are included.
My R/C car buddies love the cars performance and it shure is a crowd pleaser with the super realistic body.
Good luck. You can't go wrong with this car.

PHILSTER is another GT owner who has more experience with the car.

The car is huge compared to 1/10. It is more like 1/7 or 1/6 scale with the body. It gets looks.

I am currenty running Ofna hard compound foams, which really make it feel more glued down.

I love not worrying about stones, dips, ruts and such. It is a buggy with shorter, stiffer shocks.

For tires and wheels, you are hanging with the 1/8 buggy crowd (17mm hex on the wheels). Ofna is like buggy central, so I head over to their site and look at the 1/8 buggy wheels and tires, copy the part number and find them at Tower or at my LHS. You can get Medial Pros from GS Racing, too. Ofna has slicks, gatorbacks and various foams. Spikes and nubs are too big for the body's wheel cut outs, but you could trim a little and run them.

If you saw a RTR .21 powered buggy, that is not a straight up comparison to a .28 powered car with a 2-speed.

I run Trinity MHP 20% with an OS 8 plug and she runs fine. Brakes are good. Servos are good for a RTR.

Clutch bells with more teeth and dual brakes are just basic options, among others.

Status: offline 		Oh, I wanted to make a specific note on something: Radio Control Car Action was dead wrong on some things, because they didn't read the manual:

1. You do NOT have to take the trans out and you do not have to take the trans apart to adjust the shift point. You adjust it by sliding a gear forward, and tightening or loosening a screw. That's it.

I forget what else they botched, but I think two of their errors were so bad that they'd need to print corrections in a future edition.

Oh, yeah, they ****ed and moaned twice that the idle screw is a different type of screw than the high speed and low speed screws, requiring you to carry two screw drivers. First, if this is true, is it worth listing this as a 'miss'? Second, I just made a tiny idle adjustment yesterday with the same trusty old screw driver I use on all my vehicles. The idle screw is a phillips head, but one slot accepts a flat head screw driver anyway.

I am not a fan of RC Car Action. They think their $hit doesn't stink.
