Kyosho Inferno ST-RR Evo competition kit

Kyosho have updated the Inferno ST with further enhancements to create the most powerful version yet in the form of the Inferno ST RR EVO. The RR EVO adds the small diameter flywheel adopted from the 1/8 Buggy World Champion Inferno MP9, strengthened straight cut bevel gears and dial-adjustable big bore shocks for precision setting. The newly designed body combines a low profile form and forward cabin with the MP9’s rear wing to produce sure-footed rear grip and superior maneuverability. Expect a September release.
