Kyosho 34119 - 1:8 Scale 4WD Shaft-Driven Electric Racing Buggy Kit INFERNO MP11e  [KY-34119]

Kyosho INFERNO MP11e: 1:8 Electric 4WD Buggy Chassis with a Purpose-Built EP Layout

The Kyosho INFERNO MP11e presents a purpose-designed electric buggy platform that follows the mechanical lineage of the MP11 GP model while addressing electric-specific packaging and balance. Its A7050/A7075 duralumin elements and a shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain position the MP11e as a heavyweight kit for hobbyists who value a robust, serviceable chassis and a layout tuned around mid-length battery packs.

Chassis and drivetrain intent

The MP11e centers on a flat, machined aluminum main plate that controls flex and lower center of gravity. The drivetrain uses a straight-line shaft-driven system with a redesigned center gearbox that allows adjustable spur gear heights, a detail that supports a wide range of motor power and pinion choices. Split left-right battery placement reduces roll inertia and helps keep mass close to the chassis centerline for more predictable handling.

Suspension and steering details

Front and rear suspension geometry follows the MP11 standard with updated hub carriers and long-diameter oil shocks. Aluminum front hub carriers with a 12-degree kingpin angle are fitted as standard to improve high-speed stability. The kit adopts durable lower suspension arms and split-type bearing holders in the bulkheads to simplify differential height swaps and maintenance without changing the basic suspension layout.

Bodywork and aerodynamic approach

The supplied body and rear wing are shaped specifically for the electric variant, with side rails and a refined rear spine to manage airflow and rear-end stability. Wing position can be altered by changing the spacer between the wing stay and the wing, allowing modest aerodynamic adjustments without bodywork modification.

Who the kit is aimed at

This kit is intended for experienced builders and collectors who want a race-capable electric 1:8 buggy with a durable alloy chassis. The MP11e is a full assembly kit that emphasizes mechanical serviceability and component quality over plug-and-play convenience, making it suitable for those who expect to maintain and refine their model over time.

The Kyosho INFERNO MP11e is a deliberate electric-specific entry that marries MP11 mechanical DNA with alloy chassis engineering and a split-battery layout, appealing to builders and collectors who prefer a serviceable, high-quality kit.
