Powerful 1/8 racing buggy
Perfect for beginner to experienced thrill-seekers!
Kyosho’s 1/8 scale Inferno GP buggy series is recognized worldwide as a top-class racing model. The Inferno NEO 4.0, based on the Inferno, comes as a Readyset with a pre-assembled chassis, installed engine, R/C system, and painted body. It’s ready to race after inserting batteries into the included pistol-grip transmitter and chassis and filling the fuel tank. For beginners, the challenging engine break-in process is simplified with a break-in ring that eliminates needle adjustments. The smooth-starting engine makes it easy for those new to GP models.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nitro — this Inferno Inferno Neo runs on glow-fuel powered by a Kyosho nitro engine (KE21SP fitted in the ReadySet). You will need 25% nitro fuel, a glow-plug igniter and a starter box if not using the optional pull-start.
This is a ReadySet — chassis built, body painted, engine fitted, radio system included. Add fuel, glow igniter, transmitter batteries and a starter and you can run it straight out of the box.
1/8 scale — the dominant scale class for off-road buggy racing worldwide.
Many wear parts (shocks, ball bearings, suspension hardware, wheel hubs, body posts) carry over between Inferno generations, but key chassis-specific items (chassis plate, bulkheads, bumpers, body shells, certain drivetrain pieces) are model-specific. Always check the part number against your model. Radio Controlled UK stocks the full Kyosho Inferno parts catalogue — search by your platform code (Inferno Neo).
The Inferno Neo is the most beginner-friendly Inferno ReadySet — it's the sport-class car in the line and is forgiving to drive while still using the Inferno chassis pedigree.
