Coming soon from Kyosho are hard dish wheels for the MP9 TKI4 series of 1/8th off-road buggies. According to Kyosho’s Yuichi Kanai the hard composite wheels, that fit most of today’s 1/8th off-road buggies, will perform better in high temperature and high humidity conditions and as they are of the same shape as the previous wheels, they will be marked with a large dot on the inside of the rim. The hard wheels will come in packs of four, in fluorescent yellow or white colour and they are about to hit stores soon.
