RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Been a while but I managed to find the screw top tank and a period radio to go with it

Took advantage of the and finished painting, pinstriped it and put the MCI repro decals on it! The OG Inferno ST is done!
Paints: PS33, PS62, PS6, PS48 (for whatever’s left of the rollcage), PS5 for the bed and of course PS1

Forgot to update this group! The build is done, just need to spend a weekend painting the body that I mostly cleared. It’ll be box art but I will use pink (Tamiya cherry red) instead of red in homage to the original pink paint scheme :) The wheels and tires are very wobbly but ok for bashing around ...

Slowly getting there!

Front and rear suspension done
Rebuilt (seals only) GS21CR
Inferno GT manifold (a bit too close to the rear shocks, might look for a vintage option that isn't as close)

Here are some before and now

Finally some real progress, got all 3 diffs completed - New 53T spur gear from Australia - New bearings from Boca bearings - Kyosho 5000 diff grease front and back, 30000 in center diff - Kyosho IFW34 non plastic brake discs - hopefully these don't melt as easily with the raging power of the GS21CR :P

The manual I found https://www.retromodelisme.com/manuel_page/228/inferno-st-stadium-truck-from-1992-kyosho.html calls out FM-82 which is a 15T clutch bell but if you look at Page 22 it says...

My parts car, which at first look seems to be nicer than the I am restoring It maybe a reverse restore

Cleaned the tires with some Tuf Shine tire cleaner that I always use to remove dealers' silicone tire shine from my car tires but the 20+ yr old dirt is stubborn! I guess they're clean enough and the leftover dirt adds some cred.. like those off roaders driving around malls w/ dirt from wheeling ;) ...

Hey All! Left the hobby moons ago in ~99/2000 but I was always a Kyosho fan and had my fair share of Infernos/Burns (MP5, DX, USA1) and SuperTens, Gp10s, etc. I always wanted the ST but it was not popular growing up in Singapore/Indonesia so I never really saw one but admired it and the GP-20 in the...
