Kyosho MP-7.5 sports

Radio Control Car Action, Feb 2002 by Vieira, Peter

THE VERDICT I'm going to solve that engine-heating problem once and for all, but in stock trim, it's a good idea to rest the Inferno between tankfuls (that's a good idea for any nitro engine, really). Overall, the Inferno MP-7.5 Sports is a very good buggy (hot engine notwithstanding). It handles as well as its world-championship heritage would have you expect, and all the parts are of high quality. But as I filled in the blanks on the competition chart, I discovered that performance comes at a price, and you'll pay more for an Inferno Sports than some better-equipped buggies. But those buggies don't hold five IFMAR World Championship titles. When play time is over, a few upgrades will make the Inferno MP-7.5 Sports a force on the racetrack that other machines will find hard to follow. LIKES Handles like a full-race Inferno MP-7.5.

If LF, LL FFutaba 3PDF Transmitter and receiver

This is my new favorite radio, but not because of Its computer features. Believe me, I do appreciate the 3-model memory,

digital trims and

adjustable exponential, endpoints and 3-channel capability, but what I like best are the 3PDF's comfortable case design and perfectly sculpted rubber grip. For me, It's just the best-feeling radio out there. I also used the 3PDF's included 3-channel R123F receiver. Additional items used to complete and operate the Inferno MP-7.5 Sports: Futaba S9450 digital steering servo Futaba S3003 throttle servo
