Rumor: Ronnefalk might leave Kyosho in 2015!

David Ronnefalk may be considering not to renew with Kyosho ahead of 2015 season! 

If true, it would be a big blow to the Kyosho Team, losing the current 2014 European 1/8 Buggy Champion. As usual with rumors, we'll need to wait and watch out for more information, while we keep our fingers crossed for this one not to be true ;)

Ronnefalk's MP9 is Euros 2014 Top Qualifier!

Defending Champion David Ronnefalk is Top Qualifier at the 1:8 Offroad European Championships. The Kyosho driver claimed the honour with a third convincing TQ run in the penultimate round of qualifying at the Sand am Main event in Germany this morning.  Again the only driver to run a 27-second lap time, the Swede took the round 3.1-seconds up on Mugen’s Robert Batlle with Koysho team-mate Elliott Boots backing up his Q3 performance with another Top 3 time.

Disappointing at Least! 1 Kyosho @ 1/8 Worlds in Japan

See above the Car Statistics chart for all cars at the 1/8 On-Road IFMAR Worlds in Japan. I must say that it is at least very disappointing to see only one Kyosho Car! The same can be said for the Kyosho representation on the 1/10 On-Road IFMAR Worlds in Thailand. Has Kyosho given up on the On-Road Classes ? Let's hope not :-)

Inferno MP9 TKI 3 Mod - Tilted Engine!


My friend Mike Hamilton has just finished preparing this super hot MP9 TKI 3 for the racing season. What I loved the most besides his killer paint job was the tilted engine. It looked awesome! According to him, the motor mounts are from the Tamiya 801x, which fits perfectly. He removed the blue anodize and polished it up a little. The other thing he did to compensate the engine tilt was using the OFNA throttle linkage (29624) so that the servo would not need to be angled. Great Job!

New Kyosho Inferno MP9e TKI


The new MP9e TKI (No# 30897B) is the newest version for the brushless racers, which includes many of the features developed of the last few years for the World Champion TKI3 nitro-powered car. 

It includes the shorter rear shock tower and the medium length shocks. The shocks feature threaded spring pre-load adjusters and the popular genuine Kyosho Matched light blue springs. 

It also includes the heavy-duty driveshafts, reinforced bulkheads, stronger upper arms, milled and anodized adjustable motor mount, milled aluminum rear hub carriers, and much more.
