Hello guys,
I am really interested to know if I can turn a Kyosho Inferno MP9 TKI2 to TKI3 and further to TKI4 (as long as a TKI3 can be upgraded into a TKI4).
If something like this is possible, could someone show me a list of the needed parts for the upgrade?
Thanks in advance, that's a really big trouble for me.

front arms ... front inner hinge pin holder ... steering knuckles ... rear hub carriers are very similar to tki3 but have a bushing insert to space high or low
other than that ... no actual "geometry" that's different

Anybody here can get a hold of westergaurd? Young Kyosho driver. He put it on Cody king n other pro's that showed up to Rd 6 of the JBRL. Would like to see his setup He walked away from them easy

G'day mate, a couple points I want to address.
First is that I don't trust pros setups, I don't drive like them or think like them. I prefer the Physics approach. No hard feelings about tuning by feel.
I know first hand that using same shock piston setup front and rear is not good, there's a couple of reasons. The most important is that the rear shocks are mounted closer to the wheel than front shocks are, that changes leverage for both spring and damping. That way, the closer the shock is mounted to the wheel the more damping/spring it will offer to the wheel. Building on that one could think that shock oil takes care of the difference but truth is that it isn't enough nor provides the same progression as carefully calculated piston hole area. That's why you use close to same oil front and rear with the different shock piston hole diameter, it's because the damping at the wheel is very close and therefore balanced.
This stems from 1:1 shock tuning which for what I know uses same "oil" but changes piston hole and shim stack to achieve balanced damping.
Hope it helps mate.

Anyone know if the black MP9E steering knuckles have the same geometry as the tki3 ones?
#1958
yes they do

just to be clear do the tki3 knuckles smooth out the steering?

Still reviewing reports of drivers using this setup in various conditions,learnt a couple things regarding the mp9 platform. Still too green to share but it has everything to do with less chassis flex (less flex less metal fatigue better performance for longer and cheaper because you don't need to replace bent chassis or centre axles). Thanks for the offer!
