Micro Trucks
Koyosho Mini-Inferno ST - Half-eight, 1/16th Scale Stadium Truck

This is looking really cool! The Kyosho folks have made a slightly bigger version of the popular Mini Inferno buggy. The new version is a stadium truck with a wider stance, bigger tires, an improved diff and other improvements that befit a truck style chassis.

To me it will be interesting to get all the small trucks together. This new Kyosho is pushing the size of the 1/18th/1/16th scale. I winder how racing classes will line up?

I've seen some for sale on eBay already. Let me know if you get one and what you think!

"The impressive performance of the half-eight series is extended to
stadium truck racing with the addition of long suspension arms and
trucking tires in the form of the "Mini-Inferno ST" to deliver a truck racing experience no like no other. The amazing power of the 1/8 World Championship machine is condensed into half its size (1/16). Tough enough to take on any terrain from dry riverbeds to open fields, the new design compact 4-bevel closed-case differential gears can handle the loads from the big tires. Also, just add different viscosity diff grease (sold separately) to make subtle adjustments to diff tension and running characteristics. Only the half-eight can deliver the optimal combination of light-hearted enjoyment with serious racing performance. Experience it now for yourself!"
