M2C Kyosho Inferno MP9 TKI3 Rear Lower Arm Bushing (4) (Offset)
These technically should fit the outer hinge pins, not only on the MP9 TKI3, but also the later models (i.e. MP9 TKI4, MP10, etc.) as well. The same outer hinge pins, IFW415, are used on all of the kits.
Unfortunately, M2C did not bore the hole in the correct diameter; the hole is just a bit too small AFTER the pieces are squeezed into the arm. Apparently this puts too much pressure on the plastic, distorting/compressing the hole. Therefore, the hinge pins won't fit, even with a bit of coaxing. I'd have to drill out the plastic to make it work, and that's too much hassle FWIW...plus they probably would have too much play after boring them out with a 9/64" bit. Luckily, these were only a few bucks down the drain.
I had high hopes...which later turned out to be no hopes!
