So Houston,
From your experience with the MP10, what is your verdict on it?
It is better in every way? Or the TKI4 is still better in certain conditions?
Thanks

the way i look at things is different ....... to me its all just parts and geometry changes ......

to Yuichi its a set in stone kit ...... i dont agree ..... the more tuning options you have the better you can tune the car for a variety of surfaces and conditions ..... i grew to like the mp10 geometry . is my car as per kit build ..... NO ..... HES edition

I heard sponsered kyosho drivers will get in BIG trouble if they use parts not meant for the mp10 . Like the mp9 rear shock tower for example . It has the be the way kanai intended it . If that' truer seems very ignorant to me. How do you develop a platform if only 1 person has a say so?

For anyone who has the mp10 and the previous tki4, can you tell me if the MP10 front shock tower will fit the tki4? Thanks in advance

The official setup sheet allows for variations but yeah it’s not a good look for a struggling company trying to sell a new model being mixed with key older parts by its company’s ambassadors - no sneaky use of tki3 knuckles yet that I’ve seen.. The new aluminium hub “weights” IMO is a grab for cash. What next... window wipers?

Thats pretty spot on, just ask Mark Pavidis after he won the worlds, with his Fioroni modded car, even his shocks and chassis were Fioroni....

From Neobuggy:



All the fironiparts on that car has the same geometry as you could buy from Kyosho. It was made for looks and some weightsavings. Unless you were at a VERY highgrip track, thoose center chassisbraces made the car alot worse to drive...I sold quite alot of Fioroni here in Norway at a point. Some of the Fioroni chassis tough, had some changes to the rear end. It was longer. It fixed the MP777 loose rear end.

My post was basically to point out that Marks car rubbed Kyosho the wrong way. I too have run Fioroni since the MP7.5 and also ran the long chassis on the MP777 to include their shock towers which were infinitely better than the Kyosho ones.


Either way, to get back on topic, how about that MP10

You’d need to be sponsored to fit Fioroni, that gear is pricey! I see Boots has gone to SWorkz.
