Kyosho America - New Inferno MP9 Prototype
2008 June 24th
Kyosho have released new pictures of a prototype MP9, scheduled to be released around the time of the IFMAR World Championship this year. While complete information about the new buggy isn’t available yet, what we do know is the car is the first all-new design since the introduction of the MP5, and it’s got a number of features that will ensure ultimate performance. The engine has been moved much farther forward for better balance – a concept that first started with the Inferno 777 MP1. This allows much more aggressive performance, but unlike the MP1, the suspension geometry of the MP9 has been fully optimized through years of rigorous testing to take full advantage of the forward weight distribution. The suspension mounts feature captured hinge pins, as does the rest of the car, and changes to the suspension geometry are possible by simply repositioning the inserts without the need to change any parts. A new wing is mounted lower and features large reinforcing ribs to make the wing more durable. The wing no longer uses clips to hold it in place – it’s securely bolted to the wing mount.
