Race Heritage of the Chevrolet Corvette C6-R

The Chevrolet Corvette C6-R is a landmark in GT racing, remembered for its 1-2 finish in 2006 and a strong runner-up result in 2007. The Kyosho Inferno GT2 captures that racing pedigree in a detailed 1/8 scale RC that appeals to collectors and track drivers alike.

Inferno GT2: Tuned for On-Road Control

Derived from the Inferno MP7.5 platform, the GT2 focuses on on-road stability and handling. Its longer wheelbase improves high-speed stability, and the fitted GXR28SG engine delivers dependable power for competitive running straight from the box.

What Sets the GT2 Apart

  • Improved Stability: A 35mm longer wheelbase gives better directional control and smoother cornering.
  • Advanced Braking System: Dual disc brakes reduce fade and provide dependable stopping on repeat runs.
  • Precision Tuning: Turnbuckle upper arms and tie rods let you fine tune suspension and steering geometry.
  • Enhanced Speed: A modified 2-speed gear ratio lets you trade acceleration for higher top speed when needed.
  • Extended Run Time: The larger 150cc fuel tank supports longer sessions between refills.

Other refinements include blue anodized wheel hubs and shock caps, a reduced-mass flywheel for quicker throttle response, and reinforced spiral ring and pinion differentials for durability under load.

For racers and enthusiasts looking for a ready-to-run nitro touring car with race-inspired looks and tuneable handling, the Inferno GT2 is an appealing choice that balances historical style with modern RC engineering.

The Readyset ships with a fully assembled chassis, painted Chevrolet Corvette C6-R body with decals, a PERFEX KT6 transmitter, plug heater and a fuel bottle. You will need to supply batteries for the transmitter and your chosen glow fuel.
Although it has advanced features, the pre-assembled nature and standard control layout make it manageable for hobbyists new to nitro with some basic setup help and safety guidance.
You can change the 2-speed gear ratio to prioritise acceleration or top speed depending on track layout. Typical tuning involves testing different ratio settings and checking engine response and gearing heat under load.
