Happy Fioroni Kyosho Ultra Racing Series



Man am I impressed and I havent even installed them YET!

I just received my order for my Fioroni Ultra Racing Series parts for the Inferno MP 7.5 and all I can say is WOW!

These guys (and gals I dunno) put some serious effort into making these parts. The shock towers alone are a work of art, not just a hop-up. From the double cut, lightened to the annondized then scratch finish, these things are just badass!

I picked up the following:

MP7.5 Ergal Front Shock Tower (6mm Lightened)
MP7.5 Ergal Rear Shock Tower (6mm Lightened)
MP7.5 Steering Upper Plate (6mm Lightened)
MP-7.5 Radio Tray (3mm Lightened)
MP-7.5 Ergal Hard and Lightened 4mm Main Chassis

All can be seen HERE!

And then;

MP7.5 Servo Saver Steering Plate w/3 Holes
MP7.5 Ergal Rear Chassis Brace
MP7.5 Ergal Front Chassis Brace
MP7.5 Turnbuckle Set (6 pcs.)
Ferodo Brake Disc for Kyosho (1 pc) x2

Those can all be seen HERE!

What I am EXTREMELY impressed by is how light the chassis and show towers are, especially when you feel the rigidity of them. The goal is to have them installed and tested before the Cali bash. So I am going to get to work on them today.

Next step, Tractive 4 Diffs

Nope - unfortunately there isnt much to go by. And the packaging isnt of much help either.

It almost feels like titanium though. I know its not, but it feels like it.

Im trying to figure out why www.Fioroni.com isnt working for me......

Those parts look really nice Chris. After you get those installed your buggy should be almost indestructible.

Just take the prices right off of the general silicones site and take them into your LHS. They should easily be able to beat those prices for you

Gs don't have anything to do with Fioroni apart from that they import them to the US, the Towers are really good apart from one problem, sometimes you will have problems installing them with certain types of A and B blocks this includes the Fioroni ones.
Also the fioroni chassis limits the down travel of the front arms, so iw ould recommend some Dremeling there or file the two edges away.
