Inferno GT vs. FW-05T plus vs. RS4 RTR 3 Evo+?

[Ev1er]

Which car is the best onroad-car?
I am driving at big parkingplaces and funracing at my local rconroad-track


Thanks

The infernao GT is 1/8 scale as it is based off the popular Inferno buggy.

The last two are 1/10th scale.

IMO the Inferno GT would be more tuneable and probably be easier to achieve higher speeds. I had the RS4 RTR and it was great and shows a few upgrades with the Evo +.

EDIT: The FW-05T is shaft driven.

Between the 1/10 cars...Kyosho.


I think now it depends on driver skill. The car can be made to go fast but needs to be driven well to get there..LOL


The inferno is in a league of its own.

for big parkingplace and fun racing I'd go ahead whith the inferno GT

I'm also lookin to get on the onroad scene.I'm set on the inferno gt also..i found the cheapest place for it too..$329 shipped from ultimatehobbies

 

[Ev1er]

Ok, then I think that the Inferno GT would be the right choice for me:chillpill

 

[badboy2]

go to youtube and search for inferno gt videos youll be impressed..I'm just waiting for the ferrari body to come out then I'm ordering.

Just remember that you can adapt some 1/8 proline rims and use Crime fighters to give you more grip if you decide to make it an offroad rally car.You will have to raise the body mounts but its makes a big difference in driving.

Have fun!!!

I've heard that the Inferno GT is bad at tracks.
1\10 is better at tracetrack, right?

Inferno GT is very basic for track racing, to make a 1/8 fast at the tracks you have to work a little on it, first and very important onroad swaybars like the ones on the picture, GRP Arrow tires, lower the chassis up to 5 mm from the chassis bottom to the ground, thick silicone density , we use minimum 100000 in the front diff (ofroad car is about 10000 to 15000). higher density in the shocks, at least 3 times more than a offroad bugy, ad also some hard springs.

1/8 onroad (What we call Rally Game) is pretty popular in Spain and Italy, here you have a vid

So you are saying that the Inferno GT is the right choice.
I think that the 1\8 track-cars are very bad at tracks, compared to 1\10.

 

[badboy2]

kazi is that an inferno gt or a different car?

So you are saying that the Inferno GT is the right choice.
I think that the 18 track-cars are very bad at tracks, compared to 110.

In my opinion for parking lot racing 1/8 is far better than a 1/10 touring car, more stable and better ground clearance (parking lots use to be dirty and cracked)

kazi is that an inferno gt or a different car?

This is a custom conversion from a XTM Xterminator buggy I did, all carbon parts are custom, the sway bars are from the Italian manufacturer Crono, same as shock springs, chassis is also custom machined.

The HPI is the best choice I think
Everybody say so

 

[joneser4u]

The HPI is a good choice,you shouldnt have any problems getting replacment or upgrade parts for it,when you need/desire them. I have 2 RS4 3s and 2 older RS4 beltdrives.I love them!

 

[Ev1er]

Good to hear
Then i will go with the HPI:redbuggy: :worship: :jittery:

 

[Ev1er]

I will eather go with the FW-05T plus or the RS4 RTR 3 Evo+.
Which one of these cars would you go with?

 

[atye]

i think i'm try the inferno gt

 

[Ev1er]

It is NOT!! recommended at track!

 

[Reptile]

It seems as if you already have your mind made up. Buy whatever you can get parts for. Nothing worse than getting a car you cannot find parts for. However, if part availability is equal then get the FW-05.

 

[atye]

i just got the gt,i like it very fast
