Hot on the heels of the official presentation of Kyosho’s forthcoming top of the foodchain Inferno MP9 TKI4 buggy, Inferno series designer Yuichi Kanai presents an optional bodyshell for the vehicle. While the kit’s standard bodyshell will feature somewhat low side pods, which makes it ideal for high speed tracks with good traction, the optional body will sport higher side skirts with raised rear “wings” which will make for improved rear traction on low-grip and bumpy tracks. Appart from those two details the bodies seem to be pretty similar. We bring you more information on a release date as soon as they surface.
