Track-focused performance from the Kyosho 30898 - 1/8 INFERNO MP9e TKI4
The Kyosho 30898 - 1/8 INFERNO MP9e TKI4 Kit EP 4WD is a race-minded chassis that builds on Kyosho heritage. This electric buggy continues the INFERNO tradition with a focus on handling balance and proven race geometry.
Heritage and chassis tuning
With notable results on the world stage, including a runner-up finish at the IFMAR World Championship in Las Vegas, the MP9e TKI4 blends proven layout and refined components. Updates such as extended front suspension arms and a lower center of gravity give it more composure across different track surfaces.
Durable driveline and suspension details
The 4WD layout with a 3-diff shaft drive works with independent double wishbone suspension to deliver predictable control. Strengthened aluminum knuckles and reinforced steering parts improve cornering feel and longevity. Heavy-duty universal shafts and dirt guards help protect the drivetrain during demanding running.
Setup flexibility and aero options
Racers can fine tune camber and roll with the redesigned shock stay and revised upper suspension holder, while the adjustable rear wing lets you dial traction and stability. The precision motor mount makes motor changes and cooling straightforward for intense race days.
Assembly notes and what you need to run
The kit ships as an unassembled chassis with clear body, decal sheet, and basic hardware for a hands-on build. To complete the car you will need a compatible radio system, brushless motor, ESC, batteries, charger, wheels and tyres, plus paint for the shell. The MP9e TKI4 accepts a wide range of setups so you can tailor gear and suspension to your preferred track.
