The most successful chassis in history puts its pride on the line.
Advanced components create a synergy of pure performance.

With 7 World Championship victories, the most successful racing buggy that the world has ever seen has undergone its first full model change for the 21st Century. Everything down to the last ball-end has been recreated with the focus on maximum speed and performance in a completely new chassis and body development. Overall weight balance compliments the lightweight chassis that covers setting options for all inputs to lateral running characteristics. This allows the Inferno to adapt for optimal performance under changing off-road conditions for an overwhelming advantage in the heat of racing battle. With the latest aerodynamic design body and wing to realize greater controllability, and AKA tires, developed by world champions for world champions, included in the kit as standard, the overwhelming power and performance of the new Inferno is set to continue its domination of world buggy racing.

Ultra low center of gravity, lightweight and optimal weight balance all combine to deliver the ultimate racing weapon. Hard main chassis made from 7075-grade aluminum, hard shock stay, big bore shocks and aluminum knuckle arms realize great strength, durability and rigidity.

Newly developed body is slimmer and lower in height to realize aerodynamic characteristics for powerful downforce and stability.

Bolted on large wing generates powerful downforce. New ribbing at the back results in improved rigidity.

The shock stay and main chassis are hard anodized for improve resistance against dirt and damage. Velvet coated shock cylinders minimize resistance for the smoothest movement. Resin torque rods fitted on front and rear contribute to moderate flexibility and smooth running performance.

Roll center can be adjusted by changing the direction of the spacer inserted into the lower arm of the rear suspension. Also, the one-piece ball and washer ball-ends are an added maintenance feature.

Servo is mounted upright for easy maintenance and is dropped 2mm to contribute to the lower center of gravity. The hard chrome finish to the metal parts is more resistant to damage and dirt than anodizing.

The smaller differential units on front and rear with grooved cup joints, aluminum balls and the flexing shape of resin parts effectively lightens the weight while giving the chassis rigidity, more durability and strength.

Developed by world champions, the “AKA” brand of 1/8 buggy tires (I Beam medium compound) and new large type wheels are equipped as standard. Big race winning speed, straight from the kit.

Newly designed fuel tank features finger hook for fast and reliable refueling and realizes stable fuel supply in even under severe posture changes.

• The latest and most formidable version of 7-time World Championship winning Inferno ever.
• Optimal distribution of mass, lower center of gravity and lightweight combine to generate the fastest speed in its class.
• Features the Inferno’s signature shaft-driven 3-differential full time 4WD chassis.
• Fine tune for the optimal race setting with adjustments to wheelbase, tread, roll center, caster angle, toe angle and camber change.
• Center differential realizes improved heat dissipating brake disc and increased case capacity for stable control through to the end of the race.
• Newly developed suspension uses bushing for easy maintenance and rationalizes the setting order.
• Engine position moved 15mm forwards and 5mm to the center compared to the MP777. Also the height has been lowered by 1mm for ideal weight balance.
• Stylish hex bolts adopted throughout remain secure.
• *3 types of servo horn included for various R/C systems (SANWA / KO / for JR, FUTABA and Hitech)
• Mud guards on the rear arm prevent dirt entering the drive shaft and getting inside the wheels.
• Grooved face in side guard matches the thickness of magic tape and prevents dirt getting inside the chassis.
