Kyosho Inferno MP11 1:8 Buggy
Following the showing of a ‘Prototype’ Inferno MP11 at the recent 25th anniversary of the Kyosho Masters, the Japanese manufacturer has released official images of their new 1:8 Buggy kit offering. The first full model change since the MP10 launched in January 2019, while continuous updates have kept the MP10 updated, the MP11 takes a leap forward with an all-new design. Key changes include a newly developed main chassis, revised suspension and drivetrain systems, and an all-new body — all engineered for elite racing performance. One of the most significant changes is the revised front/rear weight distribution. With a more front-biased balance compared to the MP10, the MP11 delivers remarkably smooth handling that reduces driver stress. Coupled with optimised suspension geometry, the MP11 also achieves higher cornering speeds. The range of adjustable settings has been greatly expanded, and workability has been significantly improved — critical advantages for adapting to different track sizes and surfaces around the world. The MP11 also debuts a completely redesigned body and a new rear wing with matching wing stays, offering high-level aerodynamic performance perfectly tuned to the chassis.
MP11 Key Features
●The Inferno series carries forward its winning legacy at World Championships and major races with a complete model regeneration.
● Features the Inferno’s proven shaft-driven 4WD system.
● All new 3mm 7075 aluminium main chassis is hard anodised (True hard anodising) design. Engine is now moved forward 1mm and 1mm to the centre.
● Repositioned R/C electronics and battery mounting points shift the center of gravity forward for more responsive and intuitive control.
● New body and rear wing designs optimised for improved aerodynamic performance.
● Reinforced bevel gears inside the differential boost durability.
● Spur gear and clutch bell use 0.8 module enable easy fine-tuning of gear ratios.
● Updated suspension geometry delivers superior surface tracing performance.
● Front and rear oil shocks use a diaphragm design as standard for smooth, stable shock function.
● Front and rear shock stays are made of high-rigidity 7075 duralumin. Rear shock stay is lightweight design. The front is 5mm thick, and the rear is 4mm thick. Also, the stay mounting screws have been changed from 4mm to 3mm.
● New servo saver design minimises impact of dirt particles by repositioning the spring.
● Steering crank servo rod mount changed to a bushing type for adjustable steering response.
● Resin front upper deck effectively absorbs shocks from surface for improved chassis stability.
● Stopper has been added to the pressure tube connecting the fuel tank and muffler to prevent snagging during running.
