Factory BL kyosho buggy

[brushlessboy16]

Kyosho have announced the new Inferno VE brushless powered racing buggy. The Inferno’s six consecutive World Championship victories confirms it as the fastest R/C off-road machine in the world. This performance can now be enjoyed by everyone in the form of the new Inferno VE Readyset. The Inferno VE brings you the best of both worlds, Kyosho’s legendary world championship quality and Team Orion’s superior performing Vortex brushless system. This isn’t just a nitro buggy chassis with a motor. This is a brand new buggy platform from the ground up, strategically placed components achieve optimal weight balance and handling characteristics.








My 2 cents- It looks really similar to the rc8 conversion, the motor mount looks like an anorexic losi mount, that losi motor is either really long or really skinny... That esc looks JUST like the losi one.. CMON kyosho- get with the program, Phillips head hardware- were in the year 2009...

Look at that steering link from the servo to the steering rack, WTF is that. Should be an MP9 too.

* Ready Set - The new Inferno VE is offerd in a completely ready to go form. All componets are pre-assembled, all you have to do is get ready to tear up the competition. The Inferno VE comes equppied with a Team Orion Vortex 8 race spec ESC and motor combo front universals, 17mm wheel hubs, steel center spur-gear and much much more.
* Transmission - The Inferno VE transmission is the same as the nitro version which comes equipped with a steel center spur gear that makes stripping a gear a thing of the pass. The Center diff also contains a full set of diff gears and diff fluid in the proper weight, that translates to a bomb proof transmission.
* Rear Suspension - The rear suspension uses the same race proven composit nylon suspension arms as the nitro Inferno 7.5 differential ring and pinion gears are made from a heavy duty steel with a spiral cut which makes the gear much more compact and stronger than a standard cut gears. The shock bodies are full aluminum construction with quick adjustment clips for quick on the fly preload adjustments. The rear shock tower is made from a full aluminum contruction with multiple shock mounting points, and the whole rear end is stiffend up with a rear molded chassis brace.
* Front Suspension - Symmetrical suspension arms connect to the front bulk head which come together for a rigid assembly. Housed in the front bulkhead are heavy duty steel gears with a spiral cut to them for added strength. The front diff also contains a full set of diff gears and the proper weight differential fluid, for better added cornering and overall handling. The front uses two universal driveshafts instead of dogbones, in conbination with full set of bearings thoughout the drive train. This gives you a World Championship drive train from a readyset. You can also fine tune for the optimal camber setting with adjustable turnbuckles. The front shock bodies are full aluminum construction with quick adjustment clips for quick, on the fly preload adjustments.
* Team Orion Vortex 8 - The Vortex 8 brushless motor and ESC combo is what powers the Inferno VE. The Team Orion Vortex 8 race spec ESC is equipped with a cooling fan system that will always be on to completely prevent any pebbles from jaming the fan. Compared to the current RTR ESC?s which the fan will only turn on when the FET temperature rises and cant engage due to a small pebble jaming it, causing overheating. Heat protection safe circuit, when this feature is activiated (automatically) the throttle fuction will shut down preventing any possible disaster. Auto Cut Off is another features on the Vortex 8 ESC, incase of a overload, the ESC will automatically cut off th protect the entire system. Auto battery detection, on/off switch is seperate from the ESC so its lotally replaceble in the need arises and also a dust switch cover as standard equipment.

1500kv motor with 4S ESC in a buggy?
ages old platform?

this way BL racing cant be taken seriously.

The major mans. should come here and ask us how a REAL BL set up should be and also how other set ups should be as well. That way they would not look so silly as they release these " new " BL set ups.

Bottom line...if they want the best they have to come to the best!

[Bondonutz]

ESC/Motor wires look like 12gauge ?

I'm not sure the big manufacturers want to listen to a group of power-hungry psychopaths tell them to strap a Neu 2230 with 10s on a Rustler

wow what a stripped down car. nice shocks..... i think the kyosho hit it on the nose for affordability i wouldnt pay more than $400 for that thing as an rtr. whats up with the 550 motor trend too? yeah lets use a car that weighs twice as much with an internal ratio designed for 35000 rpm and put a longer tenth scale motor in it turning close to double that for rpm and wonder why it overheats and has short run times. just my opinion though most of the cars i have raced against had issues like this. not all but those with no problems were running like 2-3s. may work on an indoor 1/10 track but i dont know about the rest of you but i drive an 1/8 scale car not some 1/8 scale car converted to a oversized 1/10 car. i like running WITH the nitros in 15 min races, i like running on huge tracks.

despite all my bs i think that this car is a good option for someone wanting to bash or race a spec(4s max) class for clubracing for cheap. you most likely have two matching 2s lipos

meh...

Don't like it, Won't buy it.
