Kyosho Inferno MP5 Restoration / Build

[K-Max]

Thanks both!

As far as I can tell, these tuning parts from Kyosho Germany have the "900-" prefix to the Kyosho part numbers. So far just these and a Fioroni chassis I have encountered.

White color polycarbonate paint has finally become available again where I live. I decided to go with the simple blue metallic / white scheme that I used to have:

With decals added:

Stunning!! I really like the color combination.
Congratulations and thanks for posting your progress over the past months and all the work you put into it. Do you have any further projects planned?

Thanks Lexter!

I've done another build earlier and would like to post some pictures soon. This time it's the first Inferno. I'm trying to figure out the right servos for the Inferno. I had one of them 30 years ago, so it's another nice walk down memory lane with this build

Really excellent build! That is a great result. Body paint fits it really well. Love all the vintage upgrades you found.

Thanks very much Lavigna!

While working on the MP5, hunting down parts, I chanced upon a standard MP6 that appeared to have been stored away for years. This was initially going to be a parts donor car but in the end I decided to do up this car at the same time. It's almost to the MP6 International spec, except the standard gold chassis that I've retained. I thought the gold chassis looked better. I've managed also to find the Kyosho muffler of that time. The exhaust manifold though is from RB.

I just need to say again how nice this turned out. I appreciate all the attention to detail you put in. I was never really into the MP5/6 until I saw this build. Now I am trying to keep myself from building one, lol.

Thanks mate!

I'd say build another!

The first 4 Infernos are my favourites, when wheels were still spoked, and the bodyshell cab still towards the rear. Plus I used to drive these back in the day. I stopped RC a while after the MP5.
