The best nitro mini on the market is the Kyosho Nitro Mini Inferno 09 or 09ST.

Im looking at mini nitro as well. Nitro is too much fun. I can't really run any of the minis indoors, or at least at my indoors. Because of that I may as well have the fun of nitro added in. Kyosho is the way I will be going.

I think you heard that the electric version goes 15mph. I remember someone or some magazine tested the 09 and stock it was a good 33mph.

well tht is great, wish i knew that before, now they pretty much are the best. but which one to get, buggy or truggy? and wht is the big box on the left side of the truggy causing the body to be very small?

RE: best nitro mini
 
any reason why u want a mini nitro.....

do u have something against electrics (which can be made to go much faster)

evader8 02-20-2009 08:07 PM

RE: best nitro mini
 
i have electric, but i wanna learn about nitro and how it wrks, so i thought i would start small just to get a hang of it. no i have nothing against electric, i love it. just wanna try somethin new.

RE: best nitro mini
 
why not the crt.5 or that hyper st,,,, 12th scales...

evader8 02-20-2009 08:40 PM

RE: best nitro mini
 
check out the price. i cnt see spending tht much for a mini.

jaejw1 02-20-2009 08:53 PM

RE: best nitro mini
 
true but they are reliable,,, can run on ANY 10th scale track or larger,,, and parts are easy to find,,,, and if u want u can convert them to electric....

how much are the kyoshos...??

walkingcarpet900 02-20-2009 09:17 PM

RE: best nitro mini
 
The kyoshos are $199 for a ready set last time I checked. But yeah, I had a mini nitro and if I could re do it, I'd get a crt.5 instead or just save up for a NEU for my vendetta I had back then.

Depending on what you think is fast man, for me no mini is that fast RTR, maybe cause my 1st nitro was a jato (2speed)

your gonna have to change afew things but ultimately the fastest ive seen must be the 12th scale with a .18engine.

the xray mini nitros however seem pretty neat!!

even though ive got a hyper mini st

check out this clip....pretty fast for a .12 engine

The only way it would go that slow is on "AA" batteries... My electric KMI's are up around 20-25mph

hey... check out the classified adds, there is new inferno 09 for 99 bucks.

Fast mini nitro?

Schumacher Rascal, they crammed a .18 engine into there and a 2 speed. I have a 3 speed in mine right now, I don't know how fast it goes but over 50 seems reasonable.

bubble27 02-23-2009 08:47 AM

RE: best nitro mini
 
yeh but that thing only goes fast in a straight line.

poor handling, breaking and traction....2wd but then again does have topspeed....but only that!
