The Evolution of the Kyosho Inferno Series: A New Era for Electric Racing
Since its inception in 1991, the Kyosho Inferno series has set the benchmark in 1/8 scale GP buggy racing. The latest iteration, the MP10e TKI2, continues this legacy by integrating cutting-edge features from its gas-powered predecessor, the MP10 TKI2. The transition to an electric platform has sparked a surge in popularity for 1/8 EP buggy racing, drawing more competitors into the fold.
Advanced Aerodynamics and Stability
The MP10e TKI2 introduces a newly designed body that enhances aerodynamics, particularly during mid-speed cornering. This innovation, combined with a traditional body shape that excels in tight turns, ensures high exit velocities across diverse track layouts. The buggy's longer suspension stroke, paired with updated oil shocks and springs, provides superior surface tracing performance, making it a formidable contender on any terrain.
Optimized for Performance and Reliability
Designed with a focus on reliability, the MP10e TKI2 features a neatly arranged wiring system to prevent interference with drive components. The duralumin main chassis offers a balance of flexibility and rigidity, while resin side guards add extra protection. The proven shaft-type 4WD system delivers stability and control, essential for maintaining a competitive edge.
Incorporating Championship-Level Components
Enhancements such as the shock springs developed for the 2022 1/8 GP Buggy World Championship and tapered shock pistons ensure precise damping response. The motor support minimizes impact damage, while the sensor wire holder keeps the setup clean and interference-free. The strategic weight distribution, with the motor positioned towards the front, shifts the center of gravity forward, enhancing maneuverability.
