I have heard through the grapevine (reliable sources) that due to alot of pressure from the from the German customer base


Kyosho plans to release a NITRO HALF 8!!! :D :cool:



Apparently to be paired up with a 1.5 cc OS motor!!!


Hopefully released around Xmas this year


How cool.......it's going to be awesome. (just don't run it in your house!) :rolleyes:

i think a half 8 with mamba 6400kv or 8000kv will kick the nitro h8 ass!
but its cool to have a small nitro car to :rolleyes:

forget the brushless, drop in a 7t 540 motor with a 9.6v sub c pack ;) now ur talking speed :p
the reason i say this is b/c of all the annoying cogging issues with brushless

I hope it doesnt turn out like the Nitro Mini T. You could get a Mamba that would be soo much faster that the Mini T. :rolleyes:

Well to each his own. But a nitro micro does nothing for me...like these guys said. A BL setup would whoop up on a nitro of that size.

Why do you say that?! What BL are you running that has cogging issues?!
I have running BL for awhile now and have NO cogging problems what so ever.
Please explain the problem and maybe we can help.

...That would be interesting but i would imagine that something like that might come from a private user first before KYOSHO ever looked at it...I know that Country Alloy Works was talking about it but then they kinda disappeared...

...CAW had one of the first nitro-conversion set-ups for the MiniT...

a nitro micro destroys the purpose of it being a MICRO micros are fun to drive indoors...drive a nitro micro indoors and youll die wihtout proper ventialtion
it wouldnd go very fast either because you would need a very small not very powerful engine to fit ion this car...and then all the parts to run it would be HEAVY

its a pretty dumb idea...and doesnt sound like something kyosho would do anywyas....

There was a Nitro conversion kit for the Mini-T on ebay. It cost like 400 bucks. With that kind of money you could go the speed of light with a BL system. :cool:

...I agree...there are more minuses than pluses once you start breaking it down...I think this might be the REAL April Fools joke :D

yup that would be a good one ;) I don't think it would be something Kyosho would do... A mini is supposed to be an indoor car... With nitro it wouldn't be one anymore... I do like the idea of the Mini-Z Powerboats though ;)

but the half 8 has a second mount for servo ,that could be preparation for a nitroenginge....
