The 1/8 scale GP Buggy is one of the most popular R/C car racing categories in the world. As the benchmark for competitiveness, the Inferno Series has led development through continued innovation, encouraging efforts by other manufacturers to improve their machines year by year. Based on the existing MP10 TKI2, the latest TKI3 Inferno model incorporates components and design elements that were developed for the 2022 IFMAR (International Model Car Federation) World Championships. By changing the body design, the TKI3 can adapt to a wide range of track layouts, from technical circuits with tight corners to high-speed courses typically found in Europe. Adjustable wing height also expands the range of aerodynamic settings. Thicker gauge wire in new suspension springs was introduced for the World Championships for tighter cornering control. In addition, a review of the drive system incorporated a smaller center differential with revised gear ratio and a lighter spur gear plus 3-piece clutch to improve throttle response. The MP10 TKI3 is now more capable and more adaptable to different types of course layouts, not only for high-level competition, but also just for the fun of driving very fast. Whether you are competing at the highest level or simply enjoying an R/C car in its purest form, the TKI3 exceeds all expectations.
●The Inferno MP10 continues on its evolutionary path, boasting achievements in major races including the World Championships.
●Shaft-type 4WD delivers higher speed with superior reliability. Reduction ratio can be changed for compatibility with high-speed circuits.
●Optimal front-to-rear weight balance realizes superior maneuverability by positioning heavier components towards the front of the chassis.
●Newly designed body with advanced aerodynamic performance increases cornering speed and can be used interchangeably with the existing TKI2 body.
●Equipped with wing spacers for adjusting wing height to change handling characteristics for optimal maneuverability.
●Downsized center differential realizes improved throttle response.
●Newly developed springs for long diaphragm-type front and rear oil shocks deliver superior suspension stability.
●Unassembled kit includes wheels, body and wing.
●Hard-type wheels deliver improved stability on high-speed circuits and over rough surface gaps.
Building on knowledge gained from the existing model’s characteristics, the newly designed body produces improved aerodynamic performance. Enhanced responsiveness through low to medium-speed cornering is delivered while maintaining optimal posture through jumps.
Using the MP10 TKI2 as a base, newly developed components have been tested in the heat of battle at the World Championships. Incorporating the latest development trends from around the world, the TKI3 demonstrates exceptional performance on Japanese and international circuits.
Newly developed shock springs feature increased diameter (φ1.6), creating a higher sense of grip with large amounts of roll, and increased cornering speed.
Reduced weight has been achieved by changing the center differential case to the same one used on the front and rear, which combines with a new lightweight spur gear to deliver increased throttle response.
Gear ratio change in the center diff from 20T/10T to 18T/12T delivers improved performance over uneven surfaces without using low-viscosity oil
Reduction ratio on front and rear differentials have been changed from 42T/12T to 43T/13T to deliver increased speed, especially on fast open circuits. Gear ratio can be interchanged with the existing TKI2 model to adjust gear settings.
Newly designed 3-piece aluminum clutch is lighter in weight and features optimized contact shape with the clutch bell to deliver sharper acceleration and easy jump approaches.
Additional 2° bushing for rear toe angle adjustment provides wider range of setting options to suit different circuit layouts and surface conditions.
Newly designed 2.5mm and 5.0mm wing spacers provide precision adjustment of rear wing height for effective rear traction setting.
