<1> What were your first impressions when you actually ran the car?
It punches out a tone that sounds nothing like any other 09 engine, and also tears around this big buggy layout at an incredibly high speed. This is true racing performance. Excellent control. I was repeatedly impressed with all aspects of this machine. It was great fun to drive.
<2> How does it compare to the 1/8 Inferno?
It doesn't feel that different to the 1/8. I can't believe its so small. The high-quality performance makes this great as a training machine for 1/8 racing, because it drives just a like a real racing machine. I was amazed at the response, which was basically just like the 1/8 Inferno.
<3> What did you find interesting about the mechanics?
The chassis design is absolutely fascinating. It seems just like a scale model of the 1/8 Inferno MP777. The engine form is also very interesting.
<4> What did you think about the SIRIO engine?
Powerful with plenty of torque, the engine also puts out a beautiful sound. You can see the quality just by looking at it, and performance is just as amazing. It's really easy to start so beginners will enjoy it too.
<5> How do you think the 09 will be received in your country?
1/8 off-road buggies are the most popular models in Indonesia, and lately truggies as well. These are followed by 1/10 and 1/8 on-road racing cars. This machine will create havoc to the current status quo. This size is really handy and you can run it just about anywhere. People will appreciate how you can enjoy it in various places. It will also be popular as a second car for many people.
