Kyosho Inferno MP9 TKI 2 race kit

Kyosho Inferno MP9 TKI 2 race kit

New from Kyosho, the Inferno MP9 TKI 2 race kit has been tested and proven at numerous international racing events, and some design upgrades have evolved multiple areas of the chassis platform to a new level. However perhaps the greatest innovation has been the dramatic reduction in cost, despite the significant upgrades and performance improvements. The chassis design focus is on efficient traction and is realized through short suspension arms and unique rear hubs that produce effective traction with light suspension stroke. Shock absorber design has changed from spacer setting adjustment to dial adjustment and incorporates the previously optional shock pistons with tapered holes that produce optimal piston speed and damping power over long running times. Other features include a new low-height body design with less front-end resistance that generates aerodynamics for a competitive edge and stable posture through the air.

JConcepts Illuzion Kyosho Ultima SC overtray

Also new from JConcepts is this Illuzion Kyosho Ultima SC overtray which helps protects chassis from excessive debris. When racing on a loamy or top soil track surface the inside of the Ultima SC chassis can become loaded with dirt or debris which creates extra weight. With the JConcepts over-tray these worries are minimized with the simple and functional item. Fitting nicely under the body it hugs the outside dimension of the SC chassis protecting the inside from unwanted excess dirt and debris build-up during racing conditions. The over-tray is snug around the entire chassis structure while being attached with hook and loop tape around the sides and a slide-in fit in the front for easy access. The over-tray is built with extra height and rake to provide extra room for various electrical and battery configurations.
