Kyosho MP10 & MP9 12T/18T steel diff gear sets

Announced just recently by Kyosho’s own Yuichi Kanai and being available shortly are two new 12T/18T differential bevel gear sets for the Inferno MP10 and MP9 series 1/8th scale vehicles. Coming as separate sets for the front/rear and centre diffs, the kits allow to change the differential’s internal gearing from 10T/20T to 12T/18T which has an effect on the differential action, improving the vehicle’s stability over rough or bumpy parts of the track.
