The simple moniker allowed Kyosho enthusiasts to know exactly what they were getting, a stadium truck version of the 1/8 4wd Inferno off-road buggy.

From there however things diverged as new body mounts supported a Stadium Truck styled clear lexan body, and silver finished two-piece "Phone Dial" style nylon wheels were wrapped in tall, skinny, and decidedly BFG Baja T/A appearing, rubber tires. A screw top gas tank, bushings, and front brush guard were included in the unassembled kit, which was sold less .21 engine, tuned pipe, manifold, starter and radio:
