Kyosho Inferno GT3 1/8th nitro on-road kit

Kyosho have released first information on their forthcoming Inferno GT3 1/8th nitro on-road kit. Developed for the ever growing 1/8th GT class, the vehicle is based off of the successful Inferno MP9 TKI4 off-road platform and it is the follow-up model to the long-running and ageing GT2 kit. The kit will feature aluminium big bore shock absorbers and alloy shock stays for improved handling while significantly lighter differential make for quicker acceleration and improved mileage. The suspension components are understood to be taken over from the TKI4 as well while the proven 2-speed gearbox is a reminiscence to the GT2. Also new is a large yet light bumper assembly while the body mounts allow for forward or rearward mounting positions. All that is attached to a redesigned chassis with optimise flex characteristics and weight distribution. The car can be outfitted with select MP9-series option parts and it will hit stores in July.
