Kyosho KYO31816

Features
The new GT2 is the latest in a popular series of big 1:8
scale nitro-powered cars based on the 7-time IFMAR World Champion
Inferno line from Kyosho. The Inferno series has been at the center of
the RC racing universe for over 20 years and is the standard by which
all other cars are judged. Much of the same technology that earned an
unprecedented seven World Championships is incorporated into the design
of this new on-road Inferno. The GT2 builds on the popular features of
the original GT and adds a number of new features that increase value,
durability, user friendliness and speed, not to mention enhancing its
unmatched scale appearance.
The new GT2 features scale bodies of
the Pratt & Miller Corvette C6R racecar that dominated the GT1 class
of the LeMans/ALMS series, and the Red Bull Audi A4 DTM of Martin
Tomczyk, which won the Nurburgring and Zandvoort races in 2007, and
whose team won first and third in the overall DTM series championship.
More factory racer replicas are also on the way for the unique GT2
chassis. All replica bodies are factory licensed, which means the GT2
meets a much higher standard than other products that are generic and
unlicensed.
2 Speed Transmission with High Speed Gears - Speed has
always been synonymous with the Inferno GT, but the automatic two-speed
transmission and the new gears in the GT2 take speed to a whole new
level. The transmission features a 21/40T second gear combination,
which gives the GT2 a 6.3:1 final drive ratio in second gear, up from
7.49:1 in the original GT. That translates to an increase in top speed
and less wear and tear on the engine because it doesn't have to rev so
fast to achieve a class-leading top-speed. The GT2 is easily capable of
55 mph as the car is equipped out of the box, and speeds upwards of 70
mph or more with slight modifications.
Long Wheelbase Chassis - One
of the key elements of the new GT2 is the long wheelbase chassis. It's
stretched for performance as well as appearance. The longer wheelbase
adds stability at high speed, and still turns aggressively when needed.
The extra length also makes the proportions more scale than the
original GT, which is evident the stunning looks of the Red Bull Audi A4
and the Pratt & Miller C6R Corvette.
150cc Fuel Tank - Longer
run times are always a plus, and the GT2 includes a big 150cc fuel tank
for run time of up to 15 minutes. The tank features a quick-fill spring
loaded top, so you can refuel while the engine is running so you can
race around until the sun goes down.
Powerful 4.6cc Big Block
Engine - Powering the IGT2 is a big 4.6cc (.28 c. i. ) pull start
engine (GXR28SG). This new engine features modifications to increase
performance and value. In addition to the standard features offered in
the original GXR28 engine, the
New Radio and High Torque Servos - A
new two-channel radio is included with the GT2. The radio features
throttle and steering trim adjustments, dual-rate to simultaneously
increase or reduce left and right steering travel, and servo reversing
switches for both channels. The servos are the high-torque variety with
powerful 90 oz. /in. of torque.
Composite Oil Shocks with Dual
O-Rings Seals and Threaded Spring Pre-Load Adjusters - Stronger standard
springs and heavier damping keep the GT2 rolling flat and fast through
the corners. All the aluminum parts are anodized to match the rest of
the parts on the chassis.
Shaft Drive System - The differentials
and drive gears (except the two-speed transmission) are contained with
the bulkheads, which protects the drivetrain from debris. It's a more
advanced and durable drive system than belt drive, which requires less
maintenance and produces superior performance.
Double Disc Brakes -
The differentials and drive gears (except the two-speed transmission)
are contained with the bulkheads, which protects the drivetrain from
debris. It's a more advanced and durable drive system than belt drive,
which requires less maintenance and produces superior performance.
New,
Smaller 34mm Flywheel and Clutch Bell Bearings - The 34 mm flywheel is
10mm smaller than that which was included on the original GT. The
smaller size allows the use of conventional engine mounts, which are
standard on the GT2, the smaller flywheel also fits a pilot-type
crankshaft, which allows easy installation of high-performance
aftermarket engines. Additionally, the smaller flywheel size reduces
overall mass and most importantly, rotating mass for improved
acceleration. Ball bearings in the clutch bell replace the needle
bearings previously featured in the original GT. Ball bearings last
longer and are easier to replace.
Turnbuckle Linkages - The
suspension and steering linkages feature turnbuckles, which allows for
quick adjustments to the camber and steering toe angles. All that's
needed is a 5.5mm wrench to make any adjustment on the spot - there's no
need to detach or move anything to facilitate an adjustment.
Full
Factory Assembly - The IGT2 is almost completely factory assembled.
Trained technicians build the car from the ground up, so it's virtually
ready to go right out of the box - even the body is painted, expertly
detailed and the decals are installed exactly as you see it on box.
Simply add fuel and some alkaline batteries needed to power the
transmitter, receiver and glow igniter and you're ready for action.
Required For Operation:
12 AA-size batteries for R/C system
2 D-size batteries for glow igniter
R/C Fuel
