Kyosho Inferno ST-R long conversion set

Kyosho Inferno ST-R long conversion set

Kyosho have released details of their soon to be available ST-R long conversion set, which is suitable for the Inferno truggy. This new long wheelbase conversion, which is 2.5mm longer than the original version, provides the truggy with more stability as well as an optimised center of gravity and the main part is of course the chassis plate, which is a CNC machined, champagne anodised, plate that is ultra stiff and very durable. The other parts included in the conversion set are a new chassis stiffening rod and a longer rear center CVD shaft both of which are necessary to accomodate the longer plate. New steering blocks are also included which provide better control, new wheel nuts and finally a new rear wing mount that is higher than the original version and provides more down force.
