New from Kyosho, for the automatic two-speed transmission in the Inferno GT, is this new gearing which promises to take speed to a whole new level. The transmission features a 21/40T second gear combination, which gives your GT a 6.3:1 final drive ratio in second gear, up from 7.49:1 in the original GT gearing. That translates to an increase in top speed and less wear and tear on the engine because it doesn’t have to rev so fast to achieve a class-leading top-speed. The GT gearing is easily capable of 55 mph and speeds upwards of 70 mph or more with slight modifications.
