Inferno GT2 AUDI A4 DTM Red Bull
The new GT2 is the latest in a popular series of big
1:8 scale nitro-powered cars based on the 7-time
IFMAR World Champion Inferno line from Kyosho. The
Inferno series has been at the center of the RC
racing universe for over 20 years and is the
standard by which all other cars are judged. Much of
the same technology that earned an unprecedented
seven World Championships is incorporated into the
design of this new on-road Inferno. The GT2 builds
on the popular features of the original GT and adds
a number of new features that increase value,
durability, user friendliness and speed, not to
mention enhancing its unmatched scale appearance.
New features of the GT2
Long wheelbase chassis
High performance GXR28SG engine w/ pilot shaft
New radio with high-torque servos
New cylinder head - lighter and runs cooler
Standard engine mounts
150cc fuel tank
Turnbuckle linkages
Updated high-speed gears in transmission
New flywheel and clutch bell bearings
Double disc brakes
Front chassis brace included
Stronger shock springs and heavier damping
Compatible with all popular aftermarket engines
Newly designed pull-starter handle
The new GT2 features scale bodies of the Pratt &
Miller Corvette C6R racecar that dominated the GT1
class of the LeMans/ALMS series, and the Red Bull
Audi A4 DTM of Martin Tomczyk, which won the
Nurburgring and Zandvoort races in 2007, and whose
team won first and third in the overall DTM series
championship. More factory racer replicas are also
on the way for the unique GT2 chassis. All replica
bodies are factory licensed, which means the GT2
meets a much higher standard than other products
that are generic and unlicensed.Features
• Two-speed transmission with high-speed
gears - Speed has always been synonymous
with the Inferno GT, but the automatic two-speed
transmission and the new gears in the GT2 take speed
to a whole new level. The transmission features a
21/40T second gear combination, which gives the GT2
a 6.3:1 final drive ratio in second gear, up from
7.49:1 in the original GT. That translates to an
increase in top speed and less wear and tear on the
engine because it doesn't have to rev so fast to
achieve a class-leading top-speed. The GT2 is easily
capable of 55 mph as the car is equipped out of the
box, and speeds upwards of 70 mph or more with
slight modifications.
• Long wheelbase chassis - One of
the key elements of the new GT2 is the long
wheelbase chassis. It's stretched for performance as
well as appearance. The longer wheelbase adds
stability at high speed, and still turns
aggressively when needed. The extra length also
makes the proportions more scale than the original
GT, which is evident the stunning looks of the Red
Bull Audi A4 and the Pratt & Miller C6R Corvette.
• 150cc Fuel Tank - Longer run
times are always a plus, and the GT2 includes a big
150cc fuel tank for run time of up to 15 minutes.
The tank features a quick-fill spring loaded top, so
you can refuel while the engine is running so you
can race around until the sun goes down.
• Powerful 4.6cc big block engine -
Powering the IGT2 is a big 4.6cc (.28 c.i.) pull
start engine (GXR28SG). This new engine features
modifications to increase performance and value. In
addition to the standard features offered in the
original GXR28 engine, the "SG" model includes an "SG"
or pilot-type crankshaft. The crankshaft results in
better performance because the clutch is perfectly
aligned with the engine, and it makes it easier to
install a high-performance aftermarket engine. No
additional parts are required to install an
aftermarket engine to the chassis - simply bolt in
your new engine and exhaust and you're ready to go.
Port timing modifications increase power output for
even better performance, and the new cooling head
keeps temps low and performance high.
• New radio and high-torque servos
- A new two-channel radio is included with the GT2.
The radio features throttle and steering trim
adjustments, dual-rate to simultaneously increase or
reduce left and right steering travel, and servo
reversing switches for both channels. The servos are
the high-torque variety with powerful 90 oz./in. of
torque.
• Double A-arm suspension - The
suspension features double A-arms, which is the same
type of suspension used on the world's most
sophisticated performance machines. It's adjustable
and durable, so you can tune the suspension for
better performance and have the confidence that it's
going to hold up even under extreme conditions. The
IGT2 also has the new feature of turnbuckle linkages
on the upper suspension arms and the steering
linkage rods. That means you can adjust toe angle
and camber on the front and rear without removing a
single part.
• Composite oil shocks with dual O-rings
seals and threaded spring pre-load adjusters
- Stronger standard springs and heavier damping keep
the GT2 rolling flat and fast through the corners.
All the aluminum parts are anodized to match the
rest of the parts on the chassis.
• Shaft drive system - The
differentials and drive gears (except the two-speed
transmission) are contained with the bulkheads,
which protects the drivetrain from debris. It's a
more advanced and durable drive system than belt
drive, which requires less maintenance and produces
superior performance.
• Double disc Brakes - Two vented
steel disc brake rotors provide the extra stopping
power needed for such a high-performance machine.
The vented rotors keep the brakes running cooler and
the metal-backed fiber brake pads provide smooth
stopping power. • New, smaller 34mm flywheel
and clutch bell bearings - The 34 mm
flywheel is 10mm smaller than that which was
included on the original GT. The smaller size allows
the use of conventional engine mounts, which are
standard on the GT2, the smaller flywheel also fits
a pilot-type crankshaft, which allows easy
installation of high-performance aftermarket
engines. Additionally, the smaller flywheel size
reduces overall mass and most importantly, rotating
mass for improved acceleration. Ball bearings in the
clutch bell replace the needle bearings previously
featured in the original GT. Ball bearings last
longer and are easier to replace.
• Turnbuckle Linkages - The
suspension and steering linkages feature
turnbuckles, which allows for quick adjustments to
the camber and steering toe angles. All that's
needed is a 5.5mm wrench to make any adjustment on
the spot - there's no need to detach or move
anything to facilitate an adjustment.
• Full factory assembly - The IGT2
is almost completely factory assembled. Trained
technicians build the car from the ground up, so
it's virtually ready to go right out of the box -
even the body is painted, expertly detailed and the
decals are installed exactly as you see it on box.
Simply add fuel and some alkaline batteries needed
to power the transmitter, receiver and glow igniter
and you're ready for action.
