Kyosho MP10 hard suspension arms

Kyosho have announced the release of hard compound suspension arms for the Inferno MP10 buggy. Made of a harder composite material and a direct replacement for the kit standard “S” types, the “H” arms offer less flex and are therefore the ideal choice when running in higher temperature or grip conditions as they make for greater stability and precision. The arms are available separately for the front or the rear and the rear set also includes the needed arm inserts made of the same material.

While adding a factory touch the parts also offer slightly different flex characteristics compared to the standard alloy items, allowing to adjust overall chassis flex.

Coming soon from Kyosho is the Subaru Impreza WRC 2006 PureTen RS utilising the proven FW-06 1/10th 200mm 4WD chassis. User-friendly and easy to control, the FW-06 is ideal as an introduction to GP touring cars while the performance of the car evolves as as the owner’s driving techniques improve. A 2-speed transmission combines with the new high-power KE15SP engine and with the same rear suspension as the World Champion V-ONE RRR with setting options and maintenance-friendly features only available on the latest racing machines, the FW-06 chassis also meets the demands of expert-level drivers. The factory-assembled ReadySet is equipped with the 2.4GHz Syncro KT-231P+ transmitter that, in addition to the dual-rate function, also features a failsafe function that automatically reduces the throttle if radio signal is interrupted. The car is decked off with a pre-painted and pre-decorated 2006 Subaru Impreza WRC body shell.

T-Works roll out first MP10 option parts

T-Works have released first option parts for Kyosho’s all-new MP10 1/8th off-road buggy. The range includes a 26-piece hard-coated aluminium pivot ball set, a titanium turnbuckle set as well as two screw kits, a 149-piece titanium UFO head set as well as a 160-piece gold-plated steel screw set. The pivot ball will greatly reduce the overall weight and unsprung mass of the suspension while the titanium items will scrub weight and add corrosion resistance. The gold-plated screw set will do nothing in terms of weight but add a lot of visual impact. Last but not least is a 10-piece set of stainless steel 0.1mm and 0.5mm thin 4.5x10mm shims that can be used to reduce axial play in various places.

2019 Nuremberg Toyfair – Kyosho

The 2019 edition of the Nuremberg International Toyfair is kicking this Wednesday. Having lost most of its former glory during the recent years, with more and more brands opting for a no-show because of the high costs and other reasons, this year’s event makes no exception, however it makes the return of Kyosho to the show. For the competition racer, the highlight of the booth might be the recently introduced Inferno MP10 1/8th nitro buggy, however the vintage racer might adore the return of the mighty Turbo Optima, Kyosho’s must-have mid-1980’s competition buggy. The 2019 re-release however might not please everybody as the buggy features updated gold shock absorbers with threaded big bore shock bodies, something the purist might not like as the original standard bore shocks were of a clamping design with plain bodies. Other updates may be found underneath, however we currently lack body-off shots. Noticeable beside the larger shocks are the 1.97″ (50mm) wheels and tyres. These are original low profile Kyosho Option House wheels. The tyre pattern is similar to original pattern but modified for modern track surfaces. No news for now on a release date but we keep you posted. Update: In the meantime more images became available highlighting golden anodised chassis parts, a belt-driven drivetrain front and rear anti-roll bars, as well as more details of the new big bore shock absorbers.

T-Works introduce more ZX7 option parts

T-Works have announced the release of more optionals for the Kyosho ZX7 4WD buggy following the announcement of lightweight alloy centre driveshafts. First up is a carbon fibre battery strap that replaces the standard composite part. The brace is machined from high-quality carbon fibre for cooler looks and more secure battery fitment. The strap is also usable with the ZX6.6 and ZX6 series buggies. Also new are three hardware sets in the form of a 64 grade titanium ball end set, a 64 grade titanium UFO head titanium screw set as well as a gold-colour steel screw set. The titanium items will lower the overall weight while adding visual impact whereas the gold-colour screw set mainly adds bling to Kyosho’s newest 1/10th scale 4WD buggy.
