A new model featuring a next-generation platform makes its debut in the globally booming 1/8 EP buggy scene !
The 1/8 scale EP (electric) racing buggy is an R/C car category that is gaining popularity worldwide, with the first IFMAR (International Federation of Model Cars) World Championships scheduled to be held in 2025. Kyosho is now entering this exciting category with a highly anticipated new model. The model being introduced is the MP11e, based on the 1/8 GP buggy Inferno MP11, which underwent a renewal in 2025 after a six-year hiatus. At first glance, the MP11e might seem like just an EP conversion of the GP buggy, and while it uses suspension and drivetrain components from the MP11, it actually incorporates numerous original designs and parts to achieve performance that can "win" even in world-class races. The layout with a front motor and batteries distributed on both sides was pioneered by the Inferno series, but the MP11e optimizes the balance by making it exclusively for short and medium batteries, and the motor is positioned closer to the chassis centerline to further enhance its handling performance. The center gearbox, designed to handle the immense power of the brushless motor, now features adjustable spur gear height, allowing for a wide range of gear ratios. The completely redesigned body, specifically for the MP11e, is shaped to accommodate modern speed controller sizes and enhances aerodynamic performance, contributing to exceptional handling characteristics. The suspension, proven in the MP11, can also accommodate optional parts for that car, providing a definite advantage in races where quick setup changes are required depending on the situation. Building on the strengths of the previously released MP11, the MP11e incorporates a design specifically for EP models, delivering not only competitiveness in races but also a high-level driving experience to the user.
● The latest model in the high-end 1/8 scale EP buggy Inferno series.
● Uses components common with the Inferno MP11 GP model, which has a proven track record.
● Adopts a shaft-type 4WD system that ensures high reliability in addition to excellent drive efficiency.
● Main chassis made of A7050 duralumin, which has high strength and flexibility characteristics suitable for R/C buggies.
● Front and rear weight balance is optimized by revising the mounting position of the R/C mechanism and battery. The latest middle-size batteries can also be installed. *Full-size batteries are not possible.
● Adopts a new body and rear wing design with high aerodynamic performance.
● The position of the rear wing can be changed by changing the spacer sandwiched between the rear wing stay and the rear wing.
● 0.8 module pinion and spur gears that have excellent drive transmission and allow for fine adjustment of the gear ratio.
● Center drive shaft that adopts a dogbone style that is effective in improving traction performance.
● Front and rear suspension with new geometry adopted in the MP11.
● Aluminum front hub carrier with a kingpin angle of 12° is standard equipment for improved stability at high speeds.
●Features long-type diaphragm front and rear oil dampers for stable operation.
●Front and rear damper stays are made of highly rigid A7075 duralumin. The rear damper stay is also lightweight.
●The steering wiper rod mounting section has been changed to a bushing type to enable Ackermann adjustment.
●Assembly kit that includes a dedicated body and wing for the vehicle body.
Based on the Inferno MP11 GP model that debuted in 2025, this latest racing chassis incorporates modifications necessary for modern EP racing, demonstrating high competitiveness even in top-level races.
A new generation forward-cabin body that maximizes aerodynamic performance. It adopts the forward-cabin style that is mainstream in the latest racing scene. The unique spoilers on the side pontoons provide both outstanding driving stability and sharp cornering speed.
While inheriting the design of the engine-powered "MP11" model, it adopts a main chassis specifically designed for electric motors. The highly rigid A7075 super duralumin ensures that the immense power of the 4S LiPo battery and brushless motor is transmitted to the road surface without loss.
The bike features an aluminum front hub carrier with a kingpin angle set to 12°. This enhances stability at high speeds and improves drivability.
The front and rear lower suspension arms are inherited from the Inferno MP11. Rigidity can be tuned with separately sold carbon plates, allowing for settings tailored to various road surface grips and track shapes.
The front and rear bulkheads also adopt a newly designed type common to the MP11. By separating the bearing holders, not only is it possible to adjust the grip by changing the differential height, but maintenance has also been greatly improved.
