Yuichi Kanai
RC (radio control) cars designed by Yuichi Kanai are not sold in general merchandise stores with toy RC cars. Kanai-designed RC models are advanced, high-end machines that are only sold through specialized retailers. These buggy-type racing cars are about 50cm in length, weigh about 3kg, and are equipped with a 2-stroke 3.49cc displacement engine that produces 2 horsepower at 4000RPM to reach speeds of up to 100km/h on dedicated off-road racing circuits.
The ultimate test for racing machines in this category is the World Championship, which has been held every second year since 1986 when the first event was held at Grenoble, France. More than 200 challengers from around the world compete through one week of qualifying rounds with the top 10 earning the right to contest the final. The Kanai-designed chassis for this category races under the ‘KYOSHO Inferno’ brand. At the present time, the Inferno has won the World Championship 8 times. Yuichi Kanai was crowned World Champion in year 2000 at the World Championship held in Las Vegas.

I will explain the IFW643 part for the Inferno MP-10
I will explain the IFW643 part for the Inferno MP-10, which will be released soon. This part was made for the 2024 World Championship. This part sets the kingpin angle on the hub carrier to 7 degrees. The standard for the MP-10 is 0 degrees. This part with the kingpin angle was already standard equipment on the MP-5, which was released in 1995. I thought of and designed this hub carrier with a kingpin angle exactly 30 years ago in 1995. At that time I studied kingpin angles a lot. Then I adopted it and sold it on the MP-5 to MP-777. The MP-5 was the first in the world to use a kingpin angle on a 4WD hub carrier system. By the way, the MP-5 was also the first in the world to add an 8-degree skid angle to the tip of the chassis. The kingpin angle was eliminated from the subsequent model, the MP-9. And since the 2024 World Championship venue is high grip, I made it with a kingpin angle again and used it in the World Championship. This part is a setting part, and depending on the track, it can be milder when exiting corners or in chicanes. The characteristics of the knuckle can be changed by replacing the 0.5 mm washer up and down. The characteristics can be changed by moving the hub carrier forward and backward within 3 mm. 3 mm, 2 mm, and 1 mm washers are included.

Happy to be 57 and be able to compete in the World Championships 👍🏼 The stage this time, Circuit of Redban in Spain was big, beautiful and amazing track! Especially the road surface is wonderful, it looks like it's hardened with glue, the tires don't scratch, the car doesn't leak, the air conditioner doesn't leak so much that it can't be changed for a week, there's no mud or dirt on the road 👍🏼 It was a road full of good things. I'm glad the team Kyosho worked really hard until the end of the tournament. There are so many young drivers in the Kyosho team right now, and I'm looking forward to the future. I'm sorry that unfortunately due to my lack of ability I couldn't lead the team driver to the finals. From now on I will make more efforts to make my car faster 💪 It was great to meet everyone from all over the world after a long time. It was great to have old friends and lots of kyosho fans visit me 😀 This year's World Championship was blessed with good weather and it was a success in operation. Thank you to all the staff at IFMAR for every day! Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the World Championships! Team Kyosho we are family, thank you! And the staff of the World Championship Track (Red Van) and the Spanish people must have spent a lot of time and hard work to make this World Championship a success. Thank you very much! This time's World Championship, I was worried because of Corona, but I'm glad I came 😀 Of course, I have to come as a manufacturer and a developer 👍🏼 I saw it in person, actually run it, and that's my hint for the future 👍🏼 In the end, on the first day after arriving in Spain, I just went to the shopping mall, and after that I left the hotel at 7:30 am every day, went to the race track at 7:00 pm, stopped at the usual Japanese restaurant, had dinner, went back to the hotel, did laundry, and then mostly went to bed around 10:00 pm on repeat. Didn't feel like being in Spain at all 😅 Thank you everyone for watching my crappy run 😀 Yes! My lucky parents who gave me all the support this time 😀 |
