Kyosho Inferno MP7.5 Kit???

[AC48]

Hey guys,

Just looking for a little info about this kit (thier website doesn't tell much). Right now I have an X-Terminator and I was wondering would this kit be an improvement over that in terms of quality and handling ect...?

Basically I LOVE building R/Cs and have not had the chance of building a 1/8 buggy because the X-T was RTR. I've selling hop-ups from my RS4 and its down to about stock and I want to sell it as a roller, anyone interested? I've made about 200$ so far and looking to sell it around 150$, anyways back on topic. It seems these days all the kit buggies are like 600$ and over so I've been looking for a relatively cheap kit buggy to buy. I alredy have electronics and a mill so all I want is a kit. I found the Kyosho Inferno MP7.5. It sells on tower for only 349.99$.

I'd love any info on this buggy. Pics would be awsome!!!

Oh yeah, I'm not looking for the Kanais or anything just for a good quality basher

Thanks!!!

Hey i have the MP 7.5 and i Love the thing it handles and jumps GREAT! I have a O.S. RG .21 in it. I only got to race it a few times before the season ended but did great with this buggy nice and durable. And since I'm a begginer 1/8 racer you can bet I've have my share of bad wrecks on the track. Its held up great even for bashing around. You can check out my gallery for a few pics. I you want any pics of a particular area of the buggy just ask.

Thanks for your input! Does anyone else have this buggy?

Right here! Upgraded to a Kanai II though! The only thing I really did'nt like was the original kit comes with dogbones vs cvd's. Everything else was good to go! Any other questions, just LMK!

Thanks, well it sounds like this is a great buggy for the money. I'll definetely be looking into it. Woody, do you know if it came with shock oil or do I need to buy my own?

 

[woody]

Gotta get your own! Tires did come with the kit though! So, that's one less thing you gotta buy!

 

[AC48]

Can you reccomend me some shock oil woody? Is that the only thing I'll need to complete the kit?

I have an ignitor and everything, justt need to know what I'll need to build the kit. Thanks!

 

[Domination]

youll also need to get your self a:
Engine
Pipe and header
battery
Radio equipment (including servos)
Clutch setup

 

[AC48]

I'll be taking a engine, pipe, radio system, and clutch from my old buggy. I might upgrade all these later and put them back into my old buggy so I could have two, we'll see.

Can I use 4 AAs or do I have to get a hump pack? What shock oil do you run?

Thanks!

 

[Domination]

i wouldnt suggest using AA's just dish out and get a nice hump pack youll be happy that you can recharge between races and not worry about your battery level. And also if you dont already have one get your self a failsafe too!

I run 35wt in my shocks i think I'm gunna go for 45wt though it seems a lil too soft.

 

[AC48]

But the 4-AA pack will fit in the case right? I'm planning on getting a hump pack but will be running 4-AAs temporarily.

As for shock oil, something like this http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKB51&P=ML should be fine, right? Will I only need one bottle for all 4 shocks?

I know I'm asking a lot of questions, I've built other R/Cs, just not buggies.

 

[Domination]

Yes the 4 AA pack will fit.

Yes that shock oil is fine and is more than enough you beable to clean and fill your shock a few times prob with that bottle.

Dont worry about the questions thats what we all are here for, to learn and to help.

 

[AC48]

Thanks man,

Looks like I out of questions!

 

[AC48]

Yeah!

I just ordered my Kyosho Inferno MP7.5 Kit!!!!! :w00t: It should be here by the weekend!!

Thanks a lot Domination :bow:

 

[Domination]

N/P if you have anymore questions feel free to ask!

And youll deffinatly enjoy it!

 

[CorradoPsi]

dont forget to order your diff oils too. 1000, 5000, and 7000 are what you will want to order.

 

[AC48]

I already have diff oils that I've used in my savage and in my X-Terminator. Actually, I use 5000,7000, and 3000.
