Kyosho Inferno Neo Readyset

Based on the Inferno 7.5, Kyohso have released this 1/8th scale buggy Readyset, the Inferno Neo. Featuring the Infernos signature adaptability to any surface, the Neo features 3.5mm big bore shocks and the same heavy-duty wheels as the high performance MP9, fitted with all-new micro-square pattern tires. Composite torque rods front and rear achieve an optimal balance of flex and rigidity for excellent performance and yet still maintains a smooth comfortable driving feel that can only come from decades of refinement. The newly-designed aerodynamic body delivers a bold new look and sleek aerodynamics that look as fast as it runs! The Neo is packaged as a factory-assembled Readyset, which means you just need an igniter, alkaline batteries and some fuel and you can be charging along at full speed in minutes.
