Kyosho 34119 INFERNO MP11e — Electric 1:8 4WD chassis built for tuned handling
The Kyosho INFERNO MP11e updates the MP11 mechanical concept into a dedicated electric platform, with packaging and balance tailored for brushless power and mid-length battery packs. Robust A7050/A7075 duralumin components and a shaft-driven 4WD layout give hobbyists a sturdy, maintainable kit that focuses on mechanical reliability and adjustability.
Chassis and drivetrain intent
The core is a flat, machined aluminum main plate that limits unwanted flex and keeps mass low. Power is transmitted through a straight-line shaft-driven system and a revised center gearbox that supports adjustable spur gear height, allowing a broad range of motor and pinion combinations without compromising gear mesh. The split left-right battery arrangement reduces roll inertia and helps centralize weight for more predictable cornering behavior.
Suspension and steering details
Front and rear suspension geometry follows the MP11 lineage while incorporating updated hub carriers and long-diameter oil shocks for consistent damping. Aluminum front hub carriers with a 12-degree kingpin angle are included to enhance high-speed stability. Durable lower arms and split bearing holders in the bulkheads make differential height swaps and routine maintenance straightforward.
Bodywork and aerodynamic approach
The supplied polycarbonate body and rear wing are shaped for the electric layout, featuring side rails and a reinforced spine to direct airflow and stabilize the rear. Wing position is tuneable via spacers between the wing stay and the wing, letting you make modest aerodynamic changes without cutting or modifying the body.
Who the kit is aimed at
This full assembly kit is aimed at experienced builders and collectors who prefer a race-capable, alloy-chassis electric 1:8 buggy. The MP11e prioritizes serviceability and component quality over plug-and-play convenience, rewarding those willing to assemble and tune their model.
