Yeah, the Kyosho battery tray let's you run either one 4s or two 2s. They even staggered the layout for two 2s so you can use batteries with bullet plugs (what I use). It's a great design.

You actually get slightly better clearance with 2x2 because one battery slides back in the tray about 1/2 an inch. They do this so you can use batts with bullet plugs (need to stagger the batt that...

A TKI2 conversion will give you the more updated parts, like threaded shock bodies and such. I think an MP9e update is likely but not coming any time soon.

You can fit a single 4S in the tray, you just need to remove the battery stop. It's in the instruction manual.

However, I'd recommend running two 2S LiPos since you'll be able to get more use out...

Thanks - I think I'll give the Punisher a try.

I should add, however, that I think the MP9e body is the best-looking 1/8 body out there. Sad that they're impossible to get.

Replacement body for the MP9e?

First question: why the hell doesn't anyone carry the MP9e body in the US? I've been searching for months! Most stores don't even list it as a part - let alone listing it as "Out of stock" or "On...

I just picked up a MyLaps RC4 transponder and it fits easily. It's much smaller than the AMBrc.

Anyone know of any good setups for the MP9e? I'm new to 1/8 scale - how useful would an MP9 Nitro setup be?

And is Tebo running the MP9e anywhere? I'd love to see his setup.
