Help ID an older inferno
Help ID an older inferno
Hello all,
Kyosho newb here. Bought what looks like an older inferno at a flea market. Got it running well but after a few hours blew the rear bevel gear for the diff. It's a 15 tooth gear, but cannot find a replacement. If someone can help me I'd this car and where I could get parts, it'd be appreciated. Here are some pics of the buggy.

Re: Help ID an older inferno
Layout looks like the first gen Inferno, however the diff housings almost look more like Burns?
Either way, the "good" ones are a BSW-1 and BSW-2 ring and pinion
The ring is on eBay, I'm not seeing the pinions
BS-121 is a functional replacement set from the DX but it's very weak
Edit- and the BS-14 set

BS-14 is another option as well. Though almost always a pricey item.

I handnt even considered Sabulatech for this, good call Aaron. Good price too, those were always pricey gears and that's right inline with what I'd expect to pay

Re: Help ID an older inferno
That looks like a turbo burns to me with an inferno radio plate. If you look at the center brake, it looks more like a burns.
Here's my Burns, but it has Inferno gearboxes. But you can see the center diff differences. Inferno Regards,
Roger

Re: Help ID an older inferno
I just noticed too, your burns has the rare front brake kit. Normal burns has a single center brake.
Re: Help ID an older inferno
Thanks guys, you're awesome. I might order two sets just to do the front too. I put a new .21 OS cz in it. Wonder if it's too much for those gears to handle?

The 0.21 is not a problem - Incorrect lack of "shimming" (use of shims) of the pinion is where the cat is burried.
In general it´s a strong buggy (fantastic in my book)
