Hi,

Greetings from Malaysia. I would like to take a moment to introduce myself. I started to get into rc in my teens about 20 years ago. Bought the usual ep offroad stuff like hotshot, supershot, optima mid & later a clod buster etc. Stopped the hobby more than 15 years ago but have recently renewed interest in this wonderful pastime.

Over the past year, I find myself in the fleet category with 12 vehicles (2 vintage). I'm about to take delivery of no. 13 - a Kyosho mini inferno ST ! This is my second kyosho after the optima mid. I'm pretty excited. Already pestering members of this forums for cool chassis upgrade etc.

I still have a lot to learn. So, don't mind me if I ask stupid questions.

Regards,
Joe Ling

Glad to have you back. I have an ST and I think you will really enjoy it. It has all the hop ups the Half 8 needs. Full bearings, sealed F/R diffs, oil shocks...

Just needs 8 cell batts and maybe a stronger motor.

Dear bbking9,

Thanks for the encouragement. As I write this, my kit is flying here from Hong Kong. I have also purchased a hot brushless motor + controller for it from b-p-p & a 3S lipo. I'm eyeing some custom chassis too (if someone wants to sell to me). Man this hobby can be pretty addictive.

Regards,
Joe Ling
