The new Inferno GT2 at the hands of driver Paul Coleman dominated the field this past weekend at the Paris Memorial Race, which honors the RC Legend and engine tuner extraordinaire, Ron Paris. The IGT class was introduced as a “Sport” class this year at the Paris Memorial to give drivers a class in which they can compete for significantly less cost than the premier and very expensive class of 1/8 on-road. The IGT class was created many years ago by Kyosho with the Landmax series and now features the new Inferno GT2 car. Based on a 1/8 buggy chassis, these cars appeal to enthsiasts around the world who enjoy the low cost, durability, performance and the factory-licensed bodies that provide the scale realism that is only available with the Kyosho Inferno GT series. In fact, every body produced since the Landmax series to present has been a factory licensed replica of a real racing machine from various popular full-scale racing series from around the world.

Coleman, facing challenges from a roster filled with factory drivers from another manufacturer desperate to win the event, ran the perfect race. He TQ’ed the first round of qualifying and in spite of some “factory driving” that held up his progress in the second round, he managed to take second place, only missing another TQ by .001 second. Five minutes into the final, there was a little bit of rain, which meant drivers had to exercise a great deal of restraint until the track dried out. Conditions finally improved and Colman showed why the Inferno GT2 is the class of the field, laying waste to all competition and taking top honors at the event. Congrats to Paul Coleman the new Inferno GT2 for such an awesome performance in winning the 2008 Paris Memorial.

Real scale form recreated on the MR-015RM chassis. Enjoy the control and drive characteristics of rear motor mount drive!

The Mini-Z Racer MR-015RM chassis can be adjusted to different wheelbases, tread widths and chassis heights as the base for incredibly realistic scale body styles with minimal overhang. Combined with the high-performance control unit with built-in digital servo and FET speed controller from the MR-02 chassis, both high-level performance and scale form are achieved. Also, the weight distribution from the rear mounted motor and the changes in the center of gravity with acceleration and deceleration, strong traction is achieved. Gentle control allows both high speeds and driver-friendly characteristics to be realized!
