I just got one of the Inferno Sports buggies. I have to say it is so slow, much worse than I expected and a lot slower than the on-road Mini-Z cars I have owned and driven before. Definitely need more speed but unclear about exactly what is needed to achieve this reliably. There's plenty of talk about changing over to the ASF set up but that's expensive and I am happy with the radio system I have with this car and the servo. I would prefer to solder in some new FETs (seems FDS8858CZ are the ideal part) and upgrade the motor. Not seen anything about doing this on the Sports board though, although on inspection it doesn't seem like it would be hard, there are 4x 3010 MOSFETs on the board as standard.
So, if I went for say, a Kyosho X-Speed motor, would I be able to run it on the stock electronics, and supposing not, can I just replace the 4 FETs and go for it then? I would like to get the buggy running more like a scaled down 1/10th buggy as I really got it to keep my skills in when I can't race the bigger cars, so it would be good to have closer handling characteristics under power.
