Kit or RTR
 

Hi, im looking into buying a Kyosho inferno mp7.5 sports but im not sure whether to get a kit or the RTR. What are the advantages of each in terms of performance, speed etc. also, how fiddley are kits to build. Are there any other buggies which are better for a similar price to the kyosho? Im lookin for sumthin with good speed that can take a bruising.

Cheers

Hi, I prefer to build kits and tailor them to my taste, but this may not be viable for a beginner. There are a lot of guys here talking up OFNAs and the GS Storm. I don't personally think that the Inferno RTR is the best RTR out there, now if we are talking kits, then thats a different story......

RE: Kit or RTR
 

Yeh i was really looking for a buggy rather than a truck though. so is the kit better than the rtr? what other buggies are better then?

RE: Kit or RTR
 

Sit back and watch, this time tomorrow you'll probably have at least 10 different opinions and at least two arguments in ths thread.

RE: Kit or RTR
 

Lol, thanx. well all the stuff bout the inferno winning those comps sounds promising, and ive seen a video, looks gd to me. but i'll wait to hear any suggestions.
Thanks

RE: Kit or RTR
 

I'll start, buy a Kanai 3 a Rex P-5 and an Airtronics M8. Buy that and you'll be hangin' with the hardcore, brother.

RE: Kit or RTR
 

Cheers. But that whacks up a hell of a cost. what wld u say is better speed and performance and better value for money, the inferno mp 7.5, the hyper 7 or the ofna 9.5 buggy?

I really want a decent buddy but i dont really wanna spend over 300-330 uk pounds (about $570 maximum)

RE: Kit or RTR
 

Everyone knows what im gonna say..hyper 7 PBS rtr. All you would need is a better radio (Jr XS3 or Futaba 3pk) and better steering servo. The stock one on the throttle is decent for that function, but I would replace that one with a torquier faster one down the line.


If your a beginner you dont wanna mess around with a kit.

RE: Kit or RTR
 

why not try a hyper 7 pbs...its fast, a lot of people have them so youll be able to get help if you need, and its in your price range. In m opiinin its better than the inferno RTR...but if you trawl ebay and look for deals you could get a lot better....a friend of mine bought a kanai 2 with WS7 for $550...incuding shipping from ebay...like he says, you dont really want to mess around with a kit, but a kit shouldnt be a problem...i had my first kit when i was 6...my first nitro kit when i was 13 and built em all myself so its not really a problem...and it lets you know how it goes together so you service it while racing pretty easily...but if you put it together wrong youre in a world of trouble

RE: Kit or RTR
 

so how easy are kits. because i'm now thinking of the inferno in a kit form because, it looks like a much better everything really, and comes 75% complete. plus, the idea of building a kit sounds like an interesting project. im good with building things like that. Are there detailed instructions on how to build it?

RE: Kit or RTR
 

oh yeh, how does the hyper 7 compare to the inferno performance and speed wise. the inferno is a cheaper option which is an advantage, as the $500 is a maximum really, as in only if theres sumthing superly fantastic for that price.

RE: Kit or RTR
 

Are you talking about the inferno sports? I dont see why you dont spend $399 or less now plus shipping on a Hyper 7 PBS RTR and just break it in and start driving an hour or two later?

RE: Kit or RTR
 

Silly, I hate to disappoint you but the infernos that I have didn't come 75% complete. It came in more like 7500 pieces. If this is your first barbecue, I'd get one of the RTRs these guys are talking about. Do they have barbecues in England, or is it all tea and crumpets??

RE: Kit or RTR
 

He's got a point. If this is your first bbq then grab the polish sausage off the plate cooked, dont try to roll, cook, spice yer own! And eventually from breaking/losing parts often( very often) and replacing them you will be more familiar with the idea of building your own.


LoL..BBQ analogy was awesome!

RE: Kit or RTR
 

LOL, this is too much. We're gonna have to meet in New Orleans and drink a beer, SOON !!! LOL

RE: Kit or RTR
 

LoL...I was just up there for Mardi Gras....Lots of fun...dirty town..but fun!

RE: Kit or RTR
 

dude, in the hands of a good driver the inferno sports will keep or or even beat a kanai 3.....just ask G35Coupe, it are true

RE: Kit or RTR
 

In the hands of a good driver, a Mini-T can beat Kanai himself:eek:.

RE: Kit or RTR
 

This absolutely reinforces my previous argument with you Shark! Your an idiot...Come back when you can form sentences that make sense!!!!!!!!!!! The language on this forum is English!!!

RE: Kit or RTR
 

Pro-Kid...Bring me some Pro-Line knuckles athat last 3.5 gallons!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Kit or RTR
 

I was mocking you....you tard

RE: Kit or RTR
 

tard?? Are you joking? Seriously...learn the language and get off me, you dont want to get bit now do you?

RE: Kit or RTR
 

sad...too dense to even know when you're being mocked....

and if you want to get technical the language is still english but with bad grammar.........duuuuuuhh

RE: Kit or RTR
 

Now i think about it, the rtr does seem like a better option, but what would any1 say was better? the inferno sports rtr or the Hyper 7? also, which is better value for money?

RE: Kit or RTR
 

so which of the hyper 7's on this page would be best?

One's the pbs and the others a pro version. but i think the pro version's a kit. Is the PBS better than the original then?
