I cannot comment of the HB car as I have never driven one, but I have the nitro MBX7R and the AE RC8B3 and the TKI4 is just so much easier to drive. Don't pay attention to pro's - they are super human and could drive 1/8 bed frame fast.
I am now building my new E-Buggy TKI4 so I will let you know after the weekend. I really like how the car is basically the same as the nitro brother.

Gearing
Just wondering what gearing people are running for a 2000kv motor?
#2943
I'm testing today so hopefully I can make some more educated guesses on setup. I'm starting with a 16t pinion to see how it goes with a 1900kv motor. Track conditions will be pretty chilly but ill at least have a starting point.

These were Trinity D8 2000KV and a Tekin Gen 1 T8 2050KV motors, all while running at the time a Novak Activ8 ESC. Powered via Trinity Titanium 4S 5500mAh. No Motor Cooling Fan. No Issues.
I no longer run this setup, yet this is what was in my car at the time.

Looking at Tebo's more recent setups for the MP9e, available here https://jtprc.com/18-setups/
Many of them are using heavy diff setups like 20/20/15, 10/10/10, 10/15/10. Anyone tried these? And what's your opinion?

I know this has probably been asked, but I just converted one of my nitro cars to electric, now I need to know what bodies will fit and clear a 4s lipo. I had a few tki4 bodies painted up already but they hit the battery and the body doesn't fit correctly. I know the mp9e body will fit, but they 1 mil body is hit and miss in stock and with me living in Vietnam I need to order more than one to cut down on the shipping cost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning. Now that the MP9e TKI4 has been out for a while can anyone weigh in on thoughts on the car? Any comparisons to other ebuggies? Thanks everyone.

So far it's seems super easy to drive and pretty tough. I did break a front arm on mine after landing on another buggy that cased a triple. Compared to the EB48.3 I was driving before it feels super planted and safe while also being fast.

i have also used the Jconcepts silencer for the mp9 nitro with success, it will fit an 4s pack, tightest part is around the esc.

Thanks SpongeX. I am coming from an RC8B3e that was a touch edgy. I'm hoping the Kyosho turns as good but is a little more settled.
Anyone else?

I have both of these and run them back to back. They drive very differently, the mp9 has a lot of rear traction, I added all of the tki4 parts and it seemed to increase steering. The 817 has a ton of steering and a loose rear. Once you get used to the 817 it's very controllable, but prone to sudden loss of rear traction. I'm made a bunch of setup changes to the 817 and it responds really well to small changes.

Yes the rear hubs are aluminum.
