Kyosho Inferno MP11e 1/8 Electric Buggy Kit – Next-Gen EP Racing Performance
The Kyosho Inferno MP11e marks a major step forward in the rapidly growing world of 1/8 scale electric (EP) racing buggies. With the class gaining global attention ahead of the 2025 IFMAR World Championship, Kyosho delivers a purpose-built, competition-ready platform designed for serious racers.
Built on the championship-winning DNA of the Inferno series, the MP11e is not just an electric conversion of the GP model—it’s a fully engineered high-performance electric RC buggy. Sharing proven suspension and drivetrain components from the MP11, it introduces a refined layout and EP-specific innovations to maximise speed, balance, and control on the track.
A front-motor, split-battery configuration—a hallmark of the Inferno range—has been further optimised for modern short and mid-size LiPo packs. By positioning the motor closer to the centreline, the MP11e delivers sharper cornering, improved weight distribution, and enhanced responsiveness.
The redesigned centre gearbox allows adjustable spur gear height, giving racers the flexibility to fine-tune gear ratios for powerful brushless setups. Combined with compatibility for modern ESC sizes and a newly developed aerodynamic body, the MP11e offers exceptional stability, efficiency, and race-winning performance.
Whether you’re competing at club level or aiming for national and international events, the MP11e provides the ultimate 1/8 electric buggy platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a kit designed for serious enthusiasts with RC experience. Assembly from the ground up requires mechanical skill, and the 1:8 scale 4WD platform is best suited to drivers comfortable with tuning and handling a competitive-level buggy. If you're new to the hobby, consider starting with a ready-to-run model.
You'll need to purchase a radio system, a battery pack, and a charger separately—these are not included in the kit. Check the product manual or contact us to confirm compatibility with your existing radio system and to ensure you choose an appropriate battery for 1:8 scale performance.
The kit includes the chassis, body shell, suspension components, drivetrain parts, and all mechanical components needed to assemble the buggy. However, you will need to source your own radio system, battery, and charger to complete the build.
At 1:8 scale, this is a substantial radio controlled buggy suitable for off-road terrain such as grass, dirt, and racing tracks. It's designed for challenging terrain and competitive racing, so you'll need adequate space like a local RC club track or open off-road area.
The Inferno MP11e features independent double-wishbone suspension front and rear, a mid-mounted brushless motor for balanced weight distribution, and precision ball bearings throughout the drivetrain. These components work together to deliver responsive handling, predictable cornering, and stability through jumps—all critical for competitive off-road racing.
