Kyosho MP10e TKI2 First Impressions

[@Shellbackrc]

Enjoy your new buggy! Last weekend I helped a guy who has the MP10 RTR it handled our track very well and a local Kyosho Team driver hooked him up with a kit front shock tower because his was bent.

What a nostalgic brand with a champion pedigree! MP7.5 was my first K-car!

[@TheSupradude26]

The 7.5 was my second Kyosho and 1/8 at that, I got it because the MP5 I originally got back in 95 got a stuck throttle and went straight into a curb in a parking lot at probably 50mph. The rear end and one servo were the only salvageable parts so it never ran again. The chassis resembled a taco and the almost new top level OS motor ended up several feet away after both mounting tabs broke off the case. I ran gallons through both MP’s and loved every minute of them even though I never had them on a track, just parking lots and big fields mostly.

I raced with Ryan Lutz a few weeks ago and he made that car look really good🤙🏻

Last Kyosho I handled was an Optima. Vintage. Love the videos.

[@IanF-FPV]

Nice video. I remember my friend back in 92 with his Inferno 10 nitro.

MP10e TKI2 is the first experience I have with 1/8th scale buggy. Followed set up guides for a high traction track from petit RC and it so fun to drive. I think its likely due to the how easy it is to drive. I do agree that buggy seems to rotate slower around tighter turns. I might try moving the battery forward and see if that will help.

Great Video Roach !

Me gustan tus videos, gracias por dedicarle tiempo. En mi Club hay algún MP10e TKI2, y van muy rápido (circuito 100% astro). Estoy deseando que te presten un Mayako, para que transmitas tus impresiones. Quedo a la espera de tus próximos videos, cuidate!!

Just ordered mine after running mp10e readyset to its limits🏁💚

I have taken some pretty hard crashes and have yet to break an a arm. I’ve heard those same grumbling, but my buddy and I slightly above novice level have never broke one. The weak points were the steering blocks and after upgrading to aluminum parts that’s been a non issue.

[@nickpelland74]

Check out hong nor(jammin) for adjusable caster in the block. It has multiple adjustment points for caster in the block. Has a rearward mounted motor with a really short rear drive shaft and a really long front drive shaft. Its a darkhorse buggy for sure.

I sold my 2.0 Tekno last summer... I have an older Xray buggy with the single battery configuration, I believe it's a 2020 model. I have been contemplating picking up the MP10e Tki2 kit for the coming season... that or the 2.2 Tekno. Let me know if you think that picking up the Tki2 is a good option. I race on low-med grip tracks that do sometimes develop a good bit of character. Cheers...

[@RoachRC]

Out of the Box the Tekno will be easy to drive on rougher tracks 👍

[@joshuajkoplin]

Without Kyosho and Yuichi Kanai 1:8 Buggies would not be how they are today. So much of the designs that are still widely used on Buggies today are Kyosho Inferno original designs.

La verità è che la kyosho è il peggiore KIT sul mercato materiali scadenti...ECC.....molto meglio LA SPARKO F8E / WIRC SBXE3

[@thelag1200]

I prefer the agama n1​@@Ciao-qy2ud

[@felixchong2002]

ANy idea whats the difference between the MP10e and MP10E TKI2?

[@RoachRC]

There are a few. Mostly related to shock towers and shock body length

[@marcthomas6307]

I agree . would be very informative. keep up the good work bud!

[@grant_gauger1]

Are you going to be at wicked weekend?

[@RoachRC]

Solid maybe on that one

[@85klstewart]

Gave up on agama already? And where's the TLR love 😊

[@RoachRC]

Lol Kinda had to as the Agama wasn't entirely mine. This car is. As for TLR, I might get around to it eventually.

[@extec101]

@@RoachRC thought the Agama where yours. isent TLR on the way to be in the video of dead brands? lets go on the video of sponsors.

[@jonthomas8487]

It’d be great if they would come out with a new 2wd and 4WD 1/10

[@Ciao-qy2ud]

La kyosho è il peggiore kit che c'è sul mercato materiali compositi scadenti è tecnologico VECHIA.....la sparko f8e top

[@RoachRC]

Que?

[@Ciao-qy2ud]

Le kyosho fanno schifo 🤑

[@Ciao-qy2ud]

La WIRC è molto meglio.

[@tateevans9143]

Sparko is nice I want a Sparko it’s Sparko or Kyosho for me Kyosho is so easy to drive I ran a Kyosho MP9 TKI 3 for 6 seasons same with Kyosho ST RR evo they were so smooth I let my buddy drive it he ran losi he couldn’t believe how much steering and how smooth the drivetrain & shocks were compared to his losi. Other brands might have the “ hero” laps but when we looks at the top 15 laps my car was waaaaaaay more consistent over the long main

[@ZingZingNZ]

Seems like a paid review

[@RoachRC]

Lol

[@dizzychizzy1]

Some nice laps there Roach… it’s a good car… they are the Godfathers. 👍🛻👍🏎️✌️
