So the wheels, arms, front and rear hubs, etc all work from the inferno?

In my opinon, it appears to be more of a marketing thing that an actual standard. For that matter the Kyosho Mini-Z is 1/28 and the Losi Mini-T is 1/18th while the Xray M18 is also a 1/18th and considered a Micro. If you also compare the length provided by Tower for the Vendetta, it is the same as the length shown by Kyosho regarding the Mini-Inferno--which I pointed out to those apparently teching at the upcoming 1/18th scale Nats. And of course, the CEN Mini-Madness is gigantic compared to any of the other Minis and is allowed to run with the 4WD.

Hi all, found this forum after ordering NB16s for the shop (+1 for me) They look awesome, already ordered hop ups for it!

I was wondering if anyone knows where the Vulcan SE pipe and 2 speed can be orderered from - other than IRC, the postage rates seem a bit steep.

Just to let any Americans know if you are struggling to get one, we can ship worldwide, give us a call or order on line - postage will be billed seperately at cost. Not trying to sell really just seems a shame for ppl not to get them when they could do.

Pete

I ran mine and all my Nitros in on at least 25%. Just stick with a goods brand like Byrons, ODonnel, Blue Thunder etc..

The High Speed Needle adjust is the verticaly mounted screw on the carb with the fuel nipple beneath it.
Clockwise = leaner (hotter)
Anti/Counter clockwise = richer (cooler)

The Low Speed Needle is situated in the center of the alloy assembly that the throttle link is attached to.
You shouldn't need to adjust this during initial break in

Lastly the idle ajust sits at the bottom of the slider at an angle.

Most parts are, however I had some clearance issues on the alloy steering linkage bar and the NB16's front bulkhead. I resovled it using spacers although this a temporary fix.

Yes, as will some 10th scale touring car wheels if you use Hex Adapters. The Mini Inferno hex adapters do not work, you will need longer ones. I use CAW RC18T hexes

In the US try Internet-RC

They are similar size. I replaced my steering servo with an HS81MG, this can be seen on Page 3 of this Thread.

Internet RC are expensive, period. Their Vulcan costs over $100 more than the genuine Acme it's based on.
I am also looking for an alloy exhaust as the standard unit is crap.
Contact has been made with Omar at Nitrotek, the UK distributor regarding the alloy pipe. He said they if they get "enough interest", he may order some in the future.

Pete,

Checked your site out and tried to register but it does not list US for the country cause I'm trying to get an idea on how much shipping to the US is for the NB16.

Thank You,

So $237.37 USD + $20 USD = $257.37.

Not a lot of difference from IRC if you were to ship one to the US. Local support here appears to be good so far as well as direct support from IRC--I write that since they are sending me a new front and rear manifold. Whether it is the stock one or the alloy one, I won't know until it arrives which should be early this week.
