1:8-scale electric (EP) racing buggies are gaining in popularity worldwide, a trend underlined by the first IFMAR World Championship in 2025. Kyosho is entering this rapidly growing category with its latest model, the MP11e. Based on the redesigned Inferno MP11 GP buggy, the MP11e is far more than just an electric conversion. 

Whilst it shares key suspension and powertrain components with the MP11, it features numerous specially developed parts and design modifications to deliver genuine world-class performance in electric racing. The front-motor, split-battery layout introduced by the Inferno series has been refined and optimised for short and medium-length batteries. The motor is positioned closer to the chassis centreline to enable more precise handling, whilst the redesigned centre gearbox supports adjustable spur gear heights for a wide range of gear ratios suitable for high-performance brushless systems. 

The dedicated MP11e body is compatible with modern ESC sizes and improves aerodynamics for greater stability and control. Proven MP11 chassis components and compatibility with optional upgrades give racers a significant advantage when it comes to set-up. By combining the MP11’s proven racing DNA with EP-specific technology, the MP11e offers genuine winning potential and a first-class driving experience.
