Are there any rumors, hints or a chance of a Mini-Inferno kit? I do not want to deal with those type of electronics again ever in my life. :mad: I had to deal with those in my Mini-T......
Well, is there a chance of that happening like the Mini-T Pro, 18T Factory Team Kit and the Itsy Bitsy Spyder Pro?

...Rumors can easily be started and are usually false...no hints, little chances :)

i dont think they would do it soon....i wish they wouldve just done that in the first place....with all the oil shocks....and whatnot...they wouldve saved money AND people prefer it that way

Why should Kyosho release a kit so soon? They could probably make quite a bit off of the RTR since the only mini "buggy" competition currently is the A-Tech 1/18th scale. It seems to me that the only reason Losi finally released a Pro-Version of the Mini-T was because the market was probably pretty much saturated and because there was more 1/18th scale competition.

Well, Associated came out with a Factory Team version of the 18T within what is it, 3 months of release? I don't see why Kyosho shouldn't come out with a kit unless they're having money problems. I'm also a weight weenie, but not to the extreme like some people are. I just need the basics, CVD's, ball differentials, bearings, oil shocks and some carbon fibre parts where they would be useful. I probably won't get a Mini-Inferno until someone releases a kit version because it's too much money for me, especially being 15 and at the moment no job, yet.

Oh, wouldn't it be kind of cool if Losi came out with a 2WD mini buggy? It would go along very nicely with the Mini-T. The only thing that needs to be done is a revision of the Mini-T and that they don't make the same mistake as before with the stock gear.

Kyosho's Mini Inferno basically has no competition as it's the only one in its class...
I'm doubtful that Kyosho has money problems, maybe Kyosho Corp of America...
A kit version wouldn't be too expensive to develop, but if there was one, and considering all the option parts made by Kyosho for the Mini Inferno are included, it might be close or more expensive than the RTR...(Ti screws:$90, Oil Shocks:$60; sold as options)

...Some here are even younger :)

Off Topic: If the HalfEight series were to continue, there would only be 3 models, I think: Mini Inferno, Mini Evolva, Mini Mad Force, Twin Force, or Giga Crusher :D

Well, is there a chance that Kyosho will come out with a Team Kit? Because I'm wondering if I should save up for an E-Maxx (I need at least one big scale vehicle) or a Mini-Inferno (I need at least one buggy).

Kyosho's 1/10 scale Inferno is the TR15...It's now in a readyset
If they made all half scales of their popular nitro series, it wouldn't be in the "HalfEight" series as they are PureTen, 1/10 scale, except for their rally cars SuperEight :)
