My Kyosho Enferno Sport RTR all hopped up

[GaInGrEEn]

Yes it WAS a Sport RTR. I get if from someone for 100.00 that wrecked it then bought the aluminum front parts. I was into RC for a long time and had been out over 8 years. I said what the heck... heheh and about 700.00 later here it is.

That looks very nice!! I think it is time to get some aluminum rear arms then your buggy will be complete. I'm lovin' that lid too!

 

[Nitro_Freak]

looks awesome!! definetely a sweet buggy

 

[GaInGrEEn]

Thanks I painted that lid all by myself... Not gonna aluminum the rear cause I race. The lil extra weight in the front helps me wth my driving style. The biggest upgrade besides the massive power of the WS7ii was the MIPs at the wheels. Tons of eccelaration in the turns. The stock dogbones would bind up like crazy when turn and there was no power. No to mention the WS7ii was eating them up...

I was just sayin' it would be cool to have a completely aluminum buggy because usually you only see savages and T-maxxs all in aluminum. But if you are racing than it does make sence not to.

I've said once and I'll say it again, I LOVE your lid!!

Doesn't look as a crappy Kyosho RTR anymore, good work. wich is the extra weight of the aluminum arms?

 

[WA2FAST]

That thing looks awesome... nice looking lid, nice mods... really nice buggy all around.

Yo puedoo hablar espanol tambien. jajaja Yo no sé cuánto más pesado, pero el frente es más pesado con los brazos de aluminio. Es bueno para mi estilo del impulso.


chao

So Gaingreen... since you say it matches your style of driving... does it really handle that much differently than with the composite arms? It would be cool just out of curiosity to check how much different the weight is... I wouldn't think that it would make it that much different, just sturdier in case of a crash... I beleive you though, but how does it affect handling? Now that you say that, I am curious. :smoke:

 

[GaInGrEEn]

If you were ever to see me drive without them you would know. hehehe You know how most peoples style is to pump the throttle in turns and on bumps and ramps. I stay on the the throttle and I only slightly let off on turns and ramps. Which causes me to over and under rotate alot. The slight extra weight keeps my nose down just enough that it has really cut down on these driving problems. Could just be psycho LOGICAL!!! who knows. hehehe Works for me tho. I also use 90 weight shock oil (Shrug) just what I found that works for my style. I need to take a pic of the RTR lid and the RTR parts I took off. I know if I go aluminum lower arms in rear, I am gonna get carbon fiber radio tray, center brace, and front brace. You can get those cheap from www.holeshoteng.com. I have not won alot of races, but with the setup I run I have started winning some and placing higher more often. I also get the hole shot alot now too...Thanks WS7ii heheheh :fro:

 

[WA2FAST]

That's awesome... good to see you are tweaking it to your liking... You will have less broken parts up front too now I'm sure!
