Ok guys here is the MICRO MOTOR SPORTS one of a kind inferno gt i personally had nothing to do with building this car since im not really into the brushless/lipo scene 2 of the guys that work at the shop i work at built this from the ground up they are still working out the gearing options but once its 100% ready im sure it will blow any of my nitro inferno gts out of the water we actually built 2 of them one for the shop one for a customer both are still in trail and error stages ill post videos of it running once there done, id even like to drag race one of my nitro inferno to see how they compare!! enjoy the pics guys




PS belive it or not this inferno actually has close to 1,600+ dollars invested and thats with out labor, and when finished it will only have a run time of about 15 minutes at about 80+MPH

sorry the pics arent that great i took them with my cell phone



Well then inform them thet unless they don't cancel the center differential the drag results will be pittyful!! And I also suggest them to try the 2 speed gearbox...an electric motor with 2speed...imagine the top speed...
Can you please tell me how many watts the motor is and its rpm range (also maybe the torque if possible)? I can easily calculate if it's gonna beat the nitro version and also if you let me know the motor specs, the teeth # of the spur gear and the tire radius I can calculate the maximum theoritical speed of the car.

the center diff is locked, thats the only hand i had in the car and i JB welded the center diff and installed a kyosho plastic spur gear i dunno about those volts and other stuff all i rember is the gear ratio is 25/47 also i thought about the 2speed but with the finger type system the inferno system uses im sure it would blow out quickly the only way to use a 2speed correctly on that brushless set up would be with a 2 shoe type 2speed like the VONE RRR modd

2 4S lipo packs at $200 at the most plus a quark controller at $259 plus a motor (I cant see what that one is) but max $100 so that equals $759.00 Dude!! do you have a big glass door on your shop! I bet you saw that guy coming from 1/2 a mile away!

Not really since the guy built this car with out haveing anything this was his first RC car so he whent all out thats how i pulled of 1,600 dollars so far he as payed for

400 for the car brand new in the box (let us keep the motor)
about 180 bucks each battery
the quark 125AMP is about 275
that motor i think is some where around 75 bucks
plus the cost converting everything to CVDS so thats about 60-70 bucks
the cost of ripping out the 2speed and installing the 7.5 buggy center diff with plastic spur gear
the foam tires are 60 dollars for all 4
the motor mount is about 55 dollars plus the heat sink 25 bucks and the cost of those LST2 pinion gear addapter plus the gears
a JR 9100T servos for steering (not in the pic)
and he bought a brand new 3PK with the fasst system installed for 400 dollars

so adding all that up on the car alone is over 1,500 with out includeing the kyosho tourque rods, the 7.5 center diff parts, and a few other here and there things (like the light kit exc) the BEC, and thats no inludeing the cost of the radio of the car itself and all these prices are with out haveing the 7% taxes included so my estimate was pretty right on

its crazy how RC stuff add ups so quickly

VERY nice track...here's our national "baby", ideal for IGTs (1:8 ELME and EFRA championships also) and 1:5 scale races!

Don’t hate the players, hate the game.

We’re just lucky because we got the IGT Spec program started over here in Florida last December with the Kyosho Nitrofest race at SS Raceway and racer participation has grown strong very fast.

It hasn’t been easy either, when the “hard core” on-road nitro “semi-pros” 1st heard about us starting classes for racing Kyosho IGT cars, they ridiculed the concept of a fast, fun, durable & affordable form of racing. I personally caught a lot of “heat” over the whole deal because the program is centered around the IGT chassis only.. A lot of those guys represent different brands & they don’t like this new game, it was & still is very political in nature.

We’re all very fortunate that Kyosho America is making fine products to help grow our sport of RC racing in a new, more affordable “mainstream” direction, while still offering world championship level winning cars too. We should all applaud their effort & dedication to transcend the entire RC market.

The “Legends vs. Young Guns” event went very well. The IRL drivers had a blast racing (bashing) the IGT cars. Each car was painted to match their INDY paint schemes. They crashed, rolled, flipped, cart wheeled and kept on going strong. Several local television & radio celebrities also had the opportunity to drive the IGT cars.

No other “conventional big-buck” on road RC cars would have survived the abuse the IGT cars took that day. All in all, it was a ton of fun.
