yea---it's a 1/8 scale----it would be interesting to know if it has sealed diffs---the old infer's didn't. - we used to have to break them down all the time and pack them with a heavy grease we called strawberry jam(not heavy sil oil).

I think you got the answer in your other thread with the same topic.
Also, ask the seller.

thats the inferno DX my dad have one and still run very good an that engine it's an O.S. like 10 years old.
i'm from Dominican Republic and the first buggy to come to my country was the inferno DX from my dad and it doesn't come with the side guards you have to modify the chassis and the body to fit the side guards

if you are going to buy a new body u will have problem finding it, and the wheel hex it's 19mm not 17mm like all those buggys now

The Kyosho/Hype Zircon buggy still uses the 19mm wheelhex, so it should be possible to find some new wheels.
