Default Flywheel

I'm looking to buy the OS .21 RG from Tower hobbies for my Kyosho Sports Inferno. It says flywheel part number KYOC3545 is required, but they don't sell it. Can someone tell me where I can find this part, or another flywheel that I can use for it? Also whats the lowest priced started box that I can get for it?

Thanks

You will have a hard time finding one.Get another engine.(Although i do prefer the RG over any other cheap engine).
Maybe someone else can help you on the RG fitment!!Maybe there is a different flywheel that will also fit.

Ok, could someone recommend a different engine for me? This is my first car so I don't need a super power racing engine. I just use it for bashing. thanks

You shouldn't have to change the flywheel. No one that I know of has needed to change their flywheel when switching to the O.S. RG. You could also look into the mach .26 and sportwerks .26 both are $130-$140 (mach .26 has low end power and SW .26 has top end power).

For the starterbox I use the Ofna true start.
http://www.nitrohouse.com/starter_boxes.htm look for the part #10256. It works on 1/10 stadium trucks too just remove some screws and change the direction of the wheel. The 1/8 one is $99 but it comes with a power pannel (for a plug in glow ignitor) and a 12v battery. For the 1/10 one you need to buy a battery and switch the wheel around to fit an 1/8 buggy but it will be cheaper as well. http://www.nitrohouse.com/acces,_bat...6_chargers.htm they will have a 12v battery and charger on that page if you need it.

I just put a stock Mayhem flywheel, collet, and nut on my RG. They fit perfectly. The Ofna flywheel didn't fit perfectly on the RG, but worked ok.

Good luck

amainhobbies.com and horizonhobby.com has the mach .26 and sportwerks .26 engines. If your using a starterbox get the solid backplate for the engine as well.
