About the MP10e TKI2
Drivetrain
The simple yet, highly effective drivetrain features a front metal brace and durable composite rear brace. The lightweight and smaller diameter differentials decrease rotational mass and improve straight-line speed. Beefy universal joints and dogbone driveshafts further improve durability
Chassis and Wing Mount
The solid aluminum chassis features key cutouts to aid chassis flex but also allow for the added motor supports. This support system helps to protect the motor during hard impacts. The front and rear of the chassis easily mount the bulkheads/differential carriers. The rear wing is bolted directly to the rear bulkhead and features a rigid design to add consistency during a run.
Suspension
Kyosho equipped this buggy with large volume shocks and updated the shock springs to improve the stability over rougher surfaces. Tapered shock pistons combined with tapered shock holes alter the shock movement for precise response to vibrations. Front and rear swaybars are also used to improve overall stability.
Features
- Improved body design with better aerodynamic efficiency and smoother airflow
- Improved motor support to reduce the impact between the motor and chassis
- Wire holders that neatly arrange sensor wires for brushless motors for cleaner organized wires and prevention of wire interference with the drivetrain
- Improved tapered Shock Pistons for smoother damping action
- Equipped with 15T pinion gear and a lightweight 46T spur gear that used to be an optional upgrade
- Improved dedicated ESC mount
- Two battery mounts designed to balance weight distribution with the front positioned motor to shift the lower center of gravity forward for better maneuverability
- Improved Springs developed for the 2022 1/8 Buggy World Championship to improve stability
