Kyosho Inferno Neo 3.0 | Nitro Buggy First BASHING!

[@TheRCBiker]

Let's put the Kyosho Inferno Neo 3.0 through its paces! A very nice looking buggy that is very lively - Just needs a Steel spur gear!

[@rccars4all]

i have the inferno sports 2 that has a steel spur do u know if the hyper VS has steel as thinking of getting one

[@TheRCBiker]

Yes the Hyper VS has a steel spur gear :)

[@victortakeda9338]

Hi i’ve recently had a nitro rc engine blown and was looking for your help of finding which engine i should be looking for. i’m currently looking for something with lots of power and for an affordable price. My nitro rc car is a kyosho Pureten GP Spider Mk2. I’m really looking forward to what you say and getting my nitro running again. Thank you

[@TheRCBiker]

@@victortakeda9338 Hi there, what engine does it have as standard?

[@victortakeda9338]

TheRCBiker, the engine that comes stock is a kyosho GS11R engine.

[@weofnjieofing]

My Thundertiger pro came as a ready set with a metal spur gear and I’ve still got it running a Rossi Cobra X2 race engine. Still going strong!

[@exgtt2061]

as an entry level racer for the track these are brilliant bits of kit. very light and agile from the box. however for the same reasons they don't make great weekend bashers - bit fragile and expensive parts. If you must go Inferno as a basher go TKI4 as these are strong.

[@tertianend]

My friend has just bought one of these and I can't wait to go spank it with my Hobao Hyper 7. Had some upgrades over the years but still the old Hyper 21 8 port engine (orgional round heat spreader) Jammin jp4 exhaust - Reds Racing Tetra v3.0 flywheel 4 shoe clutch - front/center/rear spider diffs - loads of carbon and alloy parts - stock shocks (prefer them)

[@thefightingplumber]

Thanx for the great video's and chill narration! Glad you got back in it, i just ran in my first nitro after a couple electrics, probably not my last...😄

[@TheRCBiker]

That is awesome!

[@guidolavelli6277]

Great buggy, I've the electric model. Neo 3.0 VE is my first RC model. More easy to setting

[@but531]

Kyosho has a history of plastic gears im their 1/8 nitro buggys like the MP 7.5 sports 4 that i had, it had plastic pinion gear and steel center gear.

[@mdfishman1959]

Awesome content! I just bashed my 8ight nitro today which luckily has a steel spur gear

[@TheRCBiker]

Awesome, this one has a steel spur now, upgraded it :D

[@freedom14639]

Bought one of these and last year and still mess with it. Utter shite off road and always crashes. Tough and strong. Love it on roads and fields.

[@TheRCBiker]

It's good fun :)

[@nitrorcmaff468]

That car looks awesome

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks! :)

[@lindsmcd1072]

Thanks great review 😊

[@chick262]

What is the best all round nitro car as I'm getting one just hooked on the sound ,,been watching your videos on tuning and there great rc biker

[@TheRCBiker]

thanks :) All the available Nitro cars these days are good. Buggies are good for on road and off road, something like Hyper 7 maybe?

[@Icanreadgood1]

@RcBiker, is this buggy the best option for a beginner or would you spend a little more money and move up to a hobao or losi rtr? Also buggy vs truggy what do you prefer?

[@zombiezable]

Hello friend I have a question what kind of spark plug does you bring and which spark plug lighter should I use I have a hsp lighter and it is difficult to light it with that one, could you tell me which one I can use thanks

[@DR34M4CH1NE]

I had the screws back out of the engine, might explain the spur gear getting stripped, because i've broken all sorts on mine but not the spur. in just over a litre through the engine, I have broken, The wing, upper portion split, was only a very mild tumble as well Front left shock, eyelet snapped off and bent the shock tower too, again, not a bad crash really. not compared to what some of the youtube rigs put up with! A wheel, not sure how, was swapping them off for something a bit better wearing when I noticed the crack, must have been another rock! A big, immovable rock, caused the chassis to bend and twist, impact wasn't fast, about 10mph. Lost the screw holding the servo saver in and yesterday one of the clutch springs let go, snapped and jammed itself between the clutch bell and flywheel! Center diff is also too loose out of the box, inside front wheel when turning is prone to over speeding, my body is wrecked both sides where the tyres caught it. I love the way it looks though, so ill keep piling money into it, but I would have a hard time recommending this buggy to anyone. If you buy one, just be aware that they are quite fragile! Also for a 2 year old buggy, option parts are hard to come by. for some reason they've based this off the mp7.5 and that's an old buggy now, after market support just isn't there, all you're really going to find is replacement parts which will keep it going, but there's no way to upgrade yourself away from its inherent fragility, shame really. If anyone knows of anywhere that makes hop ups for the neo 3.0, give us a shout!

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks for the comment, mine held up pretty well apart from the spur gear which I've now swapped out for a steel upgrade

[@but531]

Without misunderstanding the plastic gears are for kids, just saying. I never use plastic plastic gears, is one of my worst enemies. The worst about plastic gears is that they are not made for bashing and when you bash them after some bashings get flat. Or if you run during jumps one after the other they get destroyed also. I have try it one time and never again.

[@TheRCBiker]

yes they're not ideal for bashing. They do OK in on-road cars

[@but531]

@@TheRCBiker i assume because is your first bashing you use the stock plastic gear just to don't sit and get dust with out use it and then you will put steel spur permanently.

[@TheRCBiker]

I've upgraded this to steel now yes

[@randywessels9703]

Should come with metal spur gear out of the box !

[@LawrenceTimme]

Great rip. Took some big hits.

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks Lawrence :)

[@bartoszabratanski3425]

What a beauty!!!

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks !:)

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

That buggy certainly has plenty of poke. Just a shame Kyosho were being cheap with the spur gear.

[@TheRCBiker]

Yeah... Upgraded to steel now! :)

[@LawrenceTimme]

Tekno also have a plastic spur and it's fine. It really depends on the quality of the plastic.

[@barfly246]

do you know if the force .28 will bolt right in?

[@ggv69340]

How old are this oyosho cars do hey make spur gears still

[@tattii421]

Great video and awesome looking buggy. I've been waiting for this video to ask the same question about if you recommend this buggy over the Trophy 3.5 or vice versa considering parts and spur gear and all of that, please let us know.

[@TheRCBiker]

Out of those two Trophy 3.5 is more durable I do like how agile the Inferno is though, Trophy 3.5 is quite a heavy buggy from what I remember. Steel spur gear upgrade is £20 for the inferno :)

[@tattii421]

@@TheRCBiker thank you so much for your input

[@darioandric3958]

Apsolutely love the content! It would be great if u could make a vid about changing the spur gear? Have the same buggy, but anyways keep up the good stuff.

[@TheRCBiker]

Already recorded & waiting for upload ;)

[@lawrencemarrow6270]

Was going to ask the same thing this is amazing can’t wait to change it on mine!!

[@jasong728]

Me too.

[@YOVlogs]

Gr8 buggy lovely performance

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks! yes I like this one!

[@retroverse1411]

What steel spurgear do you recommend

[@jasonburbidge3964]

Were abouts did you bash this too. Looks like Upton canyons. Just bought my son 1 of these for Christmas

[@TheRCBiker]

Yes it is Upton Canyons. A good area, but got to get the time right - Weekday when all the kids are at school is best if possible. Weekends are full of bikes

[@jasonburbidge3964]

Yeah I used to take my push bike down there very weekend 20 yes ago 🤦‍♂️. Great videos cheers

[@andybutcher72]

Hi Josh. Stripped my clutch bell on my inferno 3.0st. Was a 13 tooth. Bought a 15tooth online. Will I loose performance? Cheers nitro newbee. Took engine out4 a clean but didn't mesh gearing properly. Grrrr

[@TheRCBiker]

No it might just accelerate a bit slower, doubt you'll notice it :)

[@mftuning2891]

its is a great buggy but things i woulfd get for it is new weels and tires + an upgradeded front shocktower cuase it bends like tinfoil. But the rear tower does not need upgrading.

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks : )

[@jamarcus_OG]

Do you know where to get a better shock tower? I have an Inferno US Sports and it's basically the same car but it had a better servo saver and steel spur gear but worse suspensions compared to the Neo 3.0 so I would like to do some upgrades

[@nealo814]

Are these buggies expensive to run? Fuel etc...look a lot of fun.

[@TheRCBiker]

A 5 litre bottle is about £30, which will give you approximately 40 tanks of fuel in this buggy. 40 Tanks gives you about 6 hours run time. So although it sounds quite a lot it does go quite a way

[@nealo814]

@@TheRCBiker thanks. I'm tempted to get one!

[@m.ai.chi.22.]

Hello, what's your honest take on hyper 7 Vs inferno 3.0 ? I am unable to purchase hyper 7 past month as they have been out of stock everywhere 😔

[@TheRCBiker]

I really like the Inferno Neo just wish it had a steel spur. both a good choice :)

[@m.ai.chi.22.]

@@TheRCBiker Thanks for your reply, sorry for the questions, Which is better between inferno 3.0 and HPI Trophy ?. After one month of research I had finalised Hyper 7 but now due to lack of stock I need to redecide :( :(

[@joeddejohn]

Nice track.

[@R0V0lv0]

Great video. Not entirely relevant to the video, but are SH 18 nitro engines good? I heard they have an ABN sleeve which means it whould last a long time. Do you recommend it?

[@TheRCBiker]

I think the Rear exhaust ones are ABC, side exhaust engines ABN , not 100% sure though. Yes they are OK, I would recommend FORCE .18 or HPI G3.0 more though.

[@arsbasauri]

Hello between this kyosho and the Hobao Hyper 7, which one would you choose?

[@TheRCBiker]

Hyper 7

[@arsbasauri]

@@TheRCBiker thanks

[@spacebottle]

Nice vid , where are the location you are bashing?

[@TheRCBiker]

It's a spot in Poole, Dorset

[@taiteelsey2129]

It’s a shame that gear stripped I’ve been saving for this car for a while but had to put all the money towards something else. Would you say it’s worth the money?

[@maxrackstraw]

i own this buggy and so does one of my friends. The engine is decent but we find some parts are a bit fragile. Jumping the buggy usually causes the rear hub carriers to break (although they are a easy replacement and all pretty much all the parts are shared off of the inferno 7.5). Also i would recommend different tyres as the stock ones balloon too much and don't handle all that well. Pro-line badlands would be a decent option for tyres i have heard.

[@taiteelsey2129]

Max Rackstraw thankyou for the reply I’ve got a savage 25 which I love but i want something a little bit more nimble and mild stuff and have two cars so I don’t wear the one out as i get most enjoyment out of jumping etc would you say look for a different car ?

[@TheRCBiker]

I would say it's worth the money but I do think you get more for your money with something like the Hyper 7, which, as standard (and for a cheaper price!) is a bit more durable. Love the build of Kyosho though :)

[@maxrackstraw]

Rc madness With taite elsey Yes as TheRCBiker said the hobao hyper 7 is a great option or the HPI Trophy 3.5 is also very good (i also own one of those). Also it you heard that high pitched noise in the video that is the bodyshell catching on the front tyres during full steering lock, eventually this rips the front of the body apart...

[@taiteelsey2129]

TheRCBiker thankyou for all your help I’ll definitely look into the hyper 7 annoyingly was just almost there for saving then had to spend the money on fixing a bike 😂 once I get the money again tho I will definitely look would you say there’s better cars like truggy etc for the same sort of price ?

[@mauritz1774]

Is the shell Carbon Optik?

[@bigdave6002]

Would like to know what you think about the kyosho mp9

[@TheRCBiker]

Hi Dave, Looks great but I haven't had it (yet! )

[@bigdave6002]

Just wanted to know if its worth the money

[@Jtm-xn3kd]

What percent nitro fuel?

[@christianwornall1047]

But how will it compared to the pirates brushless RC car I think the will be quicker and have a higher top speed but nitro has that noise and gives you a buzz hard to beat

[@TheRCBiker]

Two completely different cars! Brushless is quicker off the line that's for sure. Not sure about top speed of these two :)

[@bibounrv1172]

can we start it with a bench

[@TheRCBiker]

What do you mean?

[@alex77e]

£300 and it lasted 10mins...yep defo give it a thumbs up!!

[@alex77e]

Just googled it and it's nearly £30 for the spare part!

[@TheRCBiker]

Part of the hobby is bashing, breaking and then fixing them/replacing the parts. You could spend £1000 but you'll still break it, it's part of it.

[@alex77e]

@@TheRCBiker yeah, I understand the concept of breaking parts, but by your own admission these parts are below par and need replacing?!

[@jamarcus_OG]

@@alex77e Then just go for Mugen, Team Associated or Xray : very strong and durable kits. The Kyosho MP10 seems strong too, but it's so much more expensive than the rest that's not convenient. Losi is on par with Kyosho in that sense.

[@dailyriddenhorses7665]

It's insane how cheap rollers are even race kits used are cheap just need engines

Yes they are indeed! :)
