＜1＞ What were your first impressions when you actually ran the car?
The first thing I noticed was the excellent stability. Even though it's only half the size of the 1/8 Inferno, you could still enjoy tearing around a 1/8 layout. Plenty of torque and not lacking in the power department either. A joy to drive.
＜2＞ How does it compare to the 1/8 Inferno?
Control response is very similar to the 1/8 Inferno, so there is not such a big difference in any area. Each time I drove it, I felt like tweaking the settings, just like I would on my 1/8. I've never known a machine like it of this size. Its easy to get serious about racing this machine.
＜3＞ What did you find interesting about the mechanics?
If you didn't have a 1/8 Inferno next to it for comparison, you would forget about the size all together. This is because the geometry of each section is just like the 1/8 version. It's totally facinating just to look at.
＜4＞ What did you think about the SIRIO engine?
Even though I drove the machine after several other people, it was still extremely stable. Throttle response was excellent. Adjustment looks easy and it is very powerful. I have never seen such great performance from an engine in this class before.
＜5＞ How do you think the 09 will be received in your country?
Smaller buggies are not so popular in Portugal, but I think this machine could change that. There are many places where you could run this model.
