Kyosho Inferno GT3 (MP9 TK14)
Must be time for a new thread.......
'exheliguy', 'Nitro Vein' and 'clubcsl' have found new info from Kyosho (posted on GT/GT2 thread) on the soon to be seen GT3. If you check the info for the video link you can see the new GT3 on a test track run.
Hopefully those guys will please post their links on here for others to see.
I guess since 'clubcsl' is a newer signup his link for the video wasn't 'live' and I had to type in the info but it was very interesting.
I can hardly wait to see the first owner/driver info to make it into print so we can see what Kyosho finally did to make the 'caster angle' racer friendly. It's the highly rated MP9 platform, better steering than 7.5 and supposedly better than the 777 steering and what appears to be a barely perceptible-but-present 'chassis kickup'. As best I can tell from the photos on the links provided, the 'steering carriers' appear to be remarkably 'vertical' intimating a decreased caster angle.......oh happy day!
GT3 is still the longer GT2 style length chassis. It would have made me excited if they had had some input from actual GT racers and found that 99% of GT8 cars are the shorter GT chassis being used on track now.
Do we dare expect to see a 'Kyosho GT Race Team'......?? (hey Scott !!)

Yeah cool! Finally
I suspect mp9 buggy chassis could be used with shorter center uni's too.

Any thoughts on what Kyosho might do for gearing this beast??

Hi Jerry
I guess the regular 43/46 on the spur?
I haven't talked to K on this but I'm intrigued. Considering definitely getting one.

Kyosho released the parts list and explosion sheet:
KYOSHOEUROPE INFERNO GT3 KIT KYOSHOEUROPE
It comes with 13 degree front c-hubs (if421), newly designed shocks, shock stands and chassis plate. Anything else looks like already existing mp9 tki and st-rr parts.
The 2-speed is the old and proven gt2 tranmission (igw008) with 43/46, but little smaller gearing with 14/18 pinions on the clutchbell.
Looking forward to see someone doing a build thread and this thing running.

I'm still amazed Kyosho can't get past the 'caster' problem that keeps their cars out of the 'limelight' and no where near the podium. The 7.5, 777, Route 246 chassis had 7 degree uplift and then with the 13 cursed degree caster it was a 20 degree disaster. Sounds like I have no interest in the MP9 based GT3, Kyosho still not listening to all the science EVERY other GT8 developer has found to make the cars in the class TURN !!!!
Hey Kyosho......what's the problem ?????
And 1 trans gear set......43/46......(original 40/46 was a blast except for the 'cam clutch' killing 2nd gear before the end of the race)

Anyone with a mp9 buggy (like me) has a fun way to get into GT racing now. Very cool.
I know from experience that Kyosho places a high value on scale realism. The short wheelbase GT cars look ridiculous, like someone took a digital pic and altered the aspect ratio incorrectly.
On to tires, what are guys running for poorly prepped asphalt/parking lot tracks?

What clutch is used on the MP9 TKI4 GT3? How do you guys get 16/19 gears on the clutch? Does the VS058 still need to be used, because it's getting hard to find?

I agree 1000000% about the scale realism on the kyosho. Thank god they use a truggy length chassis. I hate the GT class because the cars look so cartoon. It's a class that tries to push scale realism but then makes the proportions look dumb. GT class has gotten a lot of things wrong and the generally short wheelbase is one the biggest

Not sure what is 'cartoonish' about that, had your eyes examined lately....'cantdrive' ??

The front castor is disappointing.
I am interested to order one but waiting for a reply from Kyosho europe.
