Half Eight Mini Inferno

The latest evolution of the 6 time consecutive 1/8 Buggy World Championship winning Inferno, is now making tracks with a 1/16 size electric buggy. Many of the parts and structures are simply scaled down so the geometry and setting points that make the Inferno so dominant are shared. It even features a dummy engine head and exhaust stinger. Showing the quality and performance of the proud Inferno name gives a level of satisfaction seemingly far greater than its size. Full of world championship winning race technology, this is the best high-performance start of a new category. And, it's completely factory-assembled! Even the body is painted so simply load the batteries and go. Continual development of optional upgrades will keep you challenging yourself to that next level. Make no mistake. You will be addicted to high-speed rough-road racing before you even know it!

Q:

It doesn?ft seem to have enough acceleration (not transferring the drive power). Why?

A: The factory setting of the Mini-Inferno is for off-road use so the slipper gear is set a little loose (for 6-Cell Battery) to allow the car to accelerate smoothly at the start with a small degree of slip (refer page 23 of instruction manual). This setting delivers better off-road acceleration and prevents damage to the gears. If you still feel there is not enough acceleration, refer to the instruction manual and adjust up to 4mm-5mm to suit. (Note the following caution)

CAUTION: In order to prevent damage to the gears, the car will still slip during acceleration even when adjusted to 4mm. Adjusting further will allow the car to accelerate without any slipping, however, the increased load on the gears can cause damage. For on-road use or on high-grip surfaces, adjusting to 3.6mm~4mm is recommended.
