Kyosho MP10e 1/8th E-buggy kit

Coming soon from Kyosho is their new MP10e 1/8th scale electric buggy kit. Building on the popular MP10 nitro buggy, the electric-powered variant utilises its nitro-sibling’s reliable transmission and proven suspension components with the chassis being specially developed to provide optimised flex and weight distribution. The motor mount allows the use of a range of motor sizes while its position within the chassis ensures best possible weight balance in combination with the new “spread” battery mounting positions. The newly developed layout promised less chassis roll in corners for increased stability, better car control and higher corner speed. In addition, a specially designed receiver box and a screw-secured speed controller mount provide component protection and maintenance efficiency. Other features include aluminium big bore shock absorbers that are both diaphragm and aeration-type compatible and a dedicated body shell makes or a balanced handling and eye-pleasing looks. The buggy is set for a release this June.
