Rear Hub Carrier Upgrade for Inferno MP9 TKI4 from Kyosho IF490

The Kyosho IF490 aluminium rear hub carrier is a solid upgrade for the Inferno MP9 TKI4, replacing fragile plastic carriers with a more robust metal option. Its construction helps reduce breakages and keeps suspension geometry more stable during competitive running.

Higher Longevity with Aluminium

Aluminium components like the IF490 stand up better to crash damage and repeated loading than standard plastic. That longevity lowers spare part costs and keeps you on the track longer between rebuilds.

Stable Rear Geometry for Improved Driveability

With a firmer mounting point, the IF490 helps maintain toe and camber under stress, which improves consistency through corners and under acceleration.

Designed for Direct Fitment

The IF490 is produced to match the Inferno MP9 TKI4 mounting layout so it installs without chassis modification and works with existing suspension parts in most setups.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Will fitting the IF490 change my car balance?

You may detect a slight shift in balance due to the stiffer rear end, and a small setup tweak to shocks or anti-roll bars can restore your preferred handling.

Is the IF490 compatible with aftermarket suspension arms?

The IF490 mounts to the standard points, so it typically works with quality aftermarket arms that follow the MP9 TKI4 geometry, but check clearances before final assembly.

How should I care for aluminium hub carriers?

Keep the part clean from grit, inspect for nicks after impacts, and replace if threads are damaged. Light lubrication of pivot points helps maintain smooth operation.

Can I paint or anodise the IF490?

Many users apply anodising or colour finishes for protection and aesthetics; if you paint, ensure threads and mating faces are masked to preserve fitment accuracy.

Where should I source replacement hardware?

Use reputable hobby shops or the Kyosho parts catalogue for replacement screws to match the original sizes and ensure correct clamp force on aluminium surfaces.
