Overview

Please Note: This body shell comes completely UNPAINTED and may or may not require body post holes to be drilled. Only use a polycarbonate style paint such as The Tamiya PS series to finish these bodies, as standard paints will not adhere and/or cause damage to the body shell's surface.

The Inferno series has an unrivalled record in 1/8 scale GP buggy racing. Since its debut in 1991 it has continued to evolve, and the latest MP10 TKI2 remains at the leading edge of world racing. With the development of an electric version and the release of the MP10e in 2020, the popularity of 1/8 EP buggy racing has grown significantly. The most competitive elements of the MP10 TKI2 GP model have been incorporated into the evolved MP10e TKI2.

The most immediately obvious innovation is the adoption of a new body with aerodynamics to increase speed, especially through mid-speed range cornering. The conventional body shape that is strong through tight turns allows high exit velocity and handles all types of layouts, from low-speed to high-speed circuits. Longer suspension stroke with updated oil shocks and springs delivers improved rough track performance. The EP model neatly arranges wiring to prevent interference with drive components.

Note

The body shell is supplied completely unpainted and may require body post holes to be drilled. Use only polycarbonate-safe paint (such as the Tamiya PS series) to finish the body. Standard paints will not adhere and may cause damage to the body shell surface.

Highlights

Upgraded for Modern Competition

The MP10e TKI2 has been revised with modern competition in mind, featuring updated suspension parts and gear ratios. Its wire holder also eliminates potential issues from wire interference.

Aerodynamic Efficiency for Improved Racing Performance

The Inferno MP10e TKI2 boasts improved aerodynamics, increasing speed, and smoother cornering at medium to high speeds, leading to faster lap times.

Improved Stability for 2022 GP Buggy World Champs

Newly developed shock springs for the 2022 1/8 GP Buggy World Championship have been incorporated for improved stability.

Tapered Hole Shock Pistons for Precise Damping

Experience precise and responsive handling with tapered hole shock pistons. These pistons alter damping characteristics during compression and rebound, minimising unwanted movement for optimal control over bumps and jumps.

Secure Motor Wire Holder

A newly designed motor wire holder keeps wiring neat and prevents interference with the drivetrain, ensuring consistent performance.

Sensor Wire Holder for Clean Organisation

The MP10e TKI2 includes a sensor wire holder that keeps sensor wires for brushless motors organised and prevents interference with the drivetrain.

Enhanced Motor Protection

A new motor support effectively protects the motor from impacts during jumps and minimises damage to the motor case, ensuring durability and longevity.

Optimised Weight Distribution for Improved Handling

The motor is positioned towards the front of the chassis, aligning with current trends in 1/8 EP buggies, to optimise weight distribution and improve manoeuvrability.

Increased Speed with Upgraded Gear Ratio

The kit includes a 15T pinion gear and a lightweight 46T spur gear, previously only available as an option. This upgraded gear ratio, combined with a small diameter differential, increases straight-line speed for enhanced performance.
