RT Inferno MP9 Quick-change Motor blocks

New from Reckward Tuning are these quick change engine mounts for the Kyosho Inferno MP9. Similar to other versions previously available, they allow the removal and mounting of the engine without the need to re-align the gear mesh due to the 2 piece design. The base mounts are mounted to the chassis and the top blocks, which are attached to the engine, can be removed separately. When re mounting the engine, guide pins ensure that the engine is perfectly aligned with the base mounts each time.

Kyosho MP9 TCD Gear set

Kyosho have announced the release of an optional TCD (Traction Control Differential) gear set for the Inferno MP9. The TCD gear set is designed to provide more balanced power delivery under acceleration by reducing differential action. Each of the TCD components are designed to create more friction when power is applied, which effectively increases power delivery to the wheels that have the most traction, unlike a standard differential where power is directed towards those that have less traction. An added benefit of the TCD gear set is that, when off power, it allows more differential action than a standard diff, which maximizes traction and steering response in corner entry. The TCD gear set is recommended for high-traction conditions and for tracks that have medium to high-speed, large radius corners. The TCD gear set can be used in the front differential for increased on-power steering; in the center differential for better rotation and acceleration out of tight corners, or in both positions. The gear set is not recommended for use in low-traction conditions.

Kyosho Setup & Clutch tools

Kyosho have released a number of new items to help you either setup your gas car or make working on it easier. Firstly is this ride height and droop gauge set, for both 1/10th scale as well as 1/8th scale cars like the Evolva series. Placing the stepped base under the stepped part at the rear of the Evolva M3 chassis plate, means you can measure the droop precisely regardless of wear of the bottom surface of the chassis. Also new is an adjustment tool for the clutch spring, which performs the job of tightening or loosening the nut simply and precisely. Other tools include a exhaust spring hook & front anti roll bar blade adjuster, a flywheel wrench that makes the installation or removal of your flywheel from any engine a breeze and a new Knife Edge stepped tip reamer, marked at 7mm, 9mm, 11mm, 13mm and 15mm for easy reference. Finally, for keeping your glow plugs at hand for a quick change during a race, Kyosho have release 2 new aluminium glow plug holders, a red version for standard plugs and a purple version for turbo plugs, both holding up to 8 plugs in each.

JConcepts D8 & MP9 Illuzion shells

JConcepts have released 2 new buggy shells for the World Championship winning Hot Bodies D8 and the Kyosho Inferno MP9. The Illuzion Hi-Flow body has turned radical, presenting a smooth yet detailed design while incorporating many of the features from the original Hi-Flow body. Special consideration has been made for the MP9 considering the air filter, side guards, battery box and extra clearance around the throttle and brake linkage. In addition, JConcepts has taken the frustration out of the stock body design and has detached the front nose piece for extra durability and functionality, which is now bolted to the front shock tower utilizing an existing non structural 3rd screw. Race inspired aggressive styling, Illuzionized cab and durable design are just some of the features that make these new Illuzion bodies stand out.
