DE Racing MP9 & D8’12 BumpSkids

DE Racing MP9 & D8'12 BumpSkids

DE Racing has just expanded our line of BumpSkids with new models for the Kyosho MP9 TKI3 and Hot Bodies D812. The Kyosho BumpSkid was designed to work with the thicker front hinge pin plate that was adopted at the 2010 Worlds and now standard on the TKI3. The Hot Bodies model complements the factory rear skid plate for complete chassis protection. Also new from DE Racing is a mud guard for the Hot Bodies D812 that attaches to the rear arms using factory holes.

Kyosho’s nitro off-road mastermind Yuichi Kanai introduced this new engine mount for the Kyosho MP9 1/8th off-road buggy. Instead of using two separate base plates the new mount is of a 1-piece U-shaped design which is understood to help with stability and rigidity while the engine itself is still mounted using spilt mounting blocks.
