Keep MP9 TKI4 steering responsive with Kyosho IF489

The Kyosho IF489 Steering Rod Set supplies two 4x50mm rods as a straightforward maintenance or upgrade item for the Inferno MP9 TKI4. These rods are cut to match the MP9 TKI4 steering layout for a direct swap that preserves factory geometry.

Designed for the MP9 TKI4

The 4x50mm dimensions give the steering link the stiffness required for accurate inputs while still allowing small compliance for predictable handling across varied surfaces. They are intended to replicate the original steering geometry for consistent control.

Simple installation

Swap the rods with the car safely supported, check that all joints are seated and that threads engage fully. After refit, confirm steering travel and centre before taking the car back out to run.
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 new rods change the steering feel?

If you replace like-for-like with the IF489 set, steering geometry stays the same and handling should remain familiar, provided rod ends and ball cups are in good order.

Do I need extra hardware to fit these rods?

The set provides the two rods; depending on your current setup you may reuse existing rod ends or source replacements separately. Check your parts list before starting the job.

How often should steering rods be checked?

Inspect linkages after any heavy session or impact and as part of routine maintenance. Early detection of wear prevents vague steering and potential failure.
