Fine Design has released the very first ready-to-run, water-cooled,
brushless conversion for a nitro vehicle. Fine Design took the popular
1/8-scale Kyosho Inferno GT series of nitro touring cars and converted them
to electric using a high power Fine Design Nemesis Blue brushless motor and
4S 3700 LiPo battery pack. What makes these vehicles extra special is the
water cooling system that allows the car to run at high speed in very hot
temperatures without overheating and shutting down. The cooling system has a
pump that is powered by its own LiPo pack, that sends water through a
cooling jacket on the motor and speed control. The water then passes through
a coil of metal tubing that is further cooled by an electric fan.
Fine Design is offering the converted Kyosho Inferno GT as a complete RTR.
There are four bodies to choose from; Aston Martin DBR-9 shown here, BMW M3
GTR, Subaru Impreza WRC, and Ferrari F430 GT. When I say complete, I mean
complete�even the batteries for the transmitter are included. The cars will
sell for an introductory price of $895.
Metal cooling coils with electric fan.
The burshless motor is water cooled and is setup to
use the stock 2-speed Kyosho clutch.
