Kyosho Inferno MP9e Evo 1/8th E-Buggy kit

Kyosho Europe have released first images of their forthcoming Inferno MP9e Evo 1/8th electric buggy kit. The vehicle builds on the successful, 8-times World Championship-winning MP9 and MP9e platform but features a redesigned chassis layout with a very forward-moved weight bias as components such as the steering servo, radio box and speed controller are located towards the front axle while the motor is now in a mid-ship position. The highly regarded flat control and aerial posture of the previous model has been maintained while a forward weight shift has improved balance for optimised handling. In addition, subtle changes to the battery mount create a lower centre of gravity that combines with the race-tested body design of the MP9e Evo to deliver superior cornering, traction, and rough surface performance required of a racing buggy to perform successfully at the highest level. The kit features the front and rear suspension and drive systems from the latest Inferno MP9 TKI4 10th Anniversary Special Edition and the layout of the A7075T6 hard anodised aluminium chassis fas been specifically designed for the MP9e Evo to optimise weight distribution for electric power performance and a lower centre of gravity.
