Description: Up for sale is a brand new Kyosho Inferno Half 8 Nitro 1/16 scale 4WD buggy. Has Sirio engine! This one is the Ready-Set with everything included….not the more common ARR version. The box packaging was opened for inspection but everything is still brand new, unused, sealed in bags and is perfect. These were produced in 2006 and had a short production run. While there were other mini-scale nitro r/c cars, the Mini Inferno was by far the best and was built to the highest specifications of any nitro minis that were available. The engineering, parts quality, fit and finish, and performance are second to none. Unlike others, Kyosho took it very seriously and built a LEGITIMATE mini scale nitro racing buggy. It is a true Inferno! And unfortunately we will probably never see a mini scale nitro RC car like this produced again. That makes this vehicle a classic and that's why I added it to my collection. The sales were low volume and not that many were sold. And of the ones that are out there, how many have been used and abused? This one is NEW. And it’s the ready set which includes the starter box. Ever try to start one of these mini nitros without the correct starter box….good luck with that! Anyway, I have too many vehicles in my collection and I need to make space for others…so I'm forced to let go of some of my models. We do our best to describe the condition of the item and provide as much information as possible. But we are human and can miss things.
