What is this?

[robriguez]

I've looked through the doc that came with my Inferno and I dont see anything that tells me what this is.

By the way..thats not my buggy just a peice of a buggy pic that I found on the web. My Digicam is not working right tonight or I would have posted one of Mine.

it's a transponder mount for racing. when you cross the start/finish line it tells the computer which buggy crossed and it records the lap times and says who the winner is.

 

[DarthRacer]

SGTB is absolutely correct.

Is that the Inferno Sport version??

 

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

Its a servo pecker wrecker!

Dont let them lie to you like that!!!

 

[DarthRacer]

No, that's a tow hitch to pull around all the Mugen buggies during a race!!!

 

[SilentGTboy]

It's a damn pen holder for when you win a race, you can have a pen to sign all the autographs

 

[robriguez]

I have the Inferno Sport...yes. But I have no idea which model Inferno that pic is from. I pulled it from some french site that Humbolt posted videos from.

LOL @ El!

Based on that pic, it looks like a Fiorni hopped up Inferno. Just can't tell whos carbon on the side.

You Kyosho guys laugh it up now. Before long the X5's will be towing the K cars.

 

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

Do you really think Kyosho will just sit on their ass and let that happen? :whistle:


I'd wait and see what K releases...........

If you bought the Sport version, the engine comes with the kit anyway. You said the LHS gave you an engine. I hope he didn't snow you into thinking the engein didn't come with the kit.

You should look into upgrading that plastic spur gear. :jk:

I have the stock GX21 that comes with the kit. All together with extra plugs, the RTR version with the radio for under $500.

 

[RobH]

Nice price. I was looking into them around April or so. Tower hobbies only sold the version without the radio at the time. They wanted like $450 for it. It was very tempting. Since they have jacked the price up to $499 or something for the same kit.

Have you raced it yet? That's when it gets fun.

 

[robriguez]

The only real off road track is like 1.5 hours away from me. So i havent had it out yet. I'm getting together with the LHS guy this weekend hopefully and were gonna set up a makeshift course at a local park. No big jumps but it should be fun.

You were right about the mill running hot tho. Even with the lid off I can't get anywhere near the head without feeling the hiss of burning flesh. I dont remember my LD3 mill this hot to the touch but then again the pull start wasn't so close so maybe I just didnt notice.

 

[RobH]

if you're track is that far away, it's a good thing you didn't get an expensive kit. i mean there is no since putting a grand+ into an R/C if you can't race it?

i'm the oposite. our track is only a half hour away. the track is the reason i got my buggy. you should talk to the LHS guy about making a track. whatever he'd put into making the track, he'd make back from selling buggies and engines. you just need the land to do it. god, if I had an acre or two of land....

 

[robriguez]

Yeah we have been after him forever now. He claims to have a bulldozer available to him but its still iffy on the land and the insurance.

A bunch of us have already offerred our services for shoveling and making $$ contributions to the cause but the problem is that even if he does find a peice of land it wont be anywhere near the shop. The part of NJ I live in is very densly populated (think Booklyn) so empty land is very hard to come by.

No, I don't, but I was talking with a sponsored driver about a month ago and he said it will be a year or two before we see a new Kyosho.

 

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

LOL! I was wonderring if you would catch that!

I guess its just killing me right now that Kyosho hasnt answerred the call nor even speculated on it :shrug:

I may just have to get a Mugen here sooner or later! and have a few with ya!

 

[FlyinRazorback]

The more the merrier! :beer:
