The Mugen Seiki MBX8 ECO 1/8 Electric Off-Road Buggy Kit has been
tested and developed by the worlds top drivers and represents the next
step in the evolution of Mugen Seiki race cars.
NOTE: Electronics, wheels and tires shown in photos
are for illustrative purposes only and are not included. See needed to
complete list below for a full list of items required to complete the
model.
Features:
Chassis:
The MBX8 Eco chassis improves steering and is more consistent in bumpy conditions.
Differential and Drivetrain:
High Traction Differentials are included in the MBX8 Eco. The Mugen
Seiki HTD provides increased acceleration, longer runtime, and more
consistent handling. The HTD’s also increase stability, traction and
improve handling in bumpy conditions. The HTD has a larger volume diff
cup to increase consistency during long main events. This makes it
easier to time rhythm sections, better in bumpy and low grip conditions,
helps to increase traction, and increases fuel mileage.
Redesigned straight cut 13T bevel gear and 44T conical gear.
Straight cut bevel and conical gears increase acceleration, runtime,
and efficiency. A free and efficient drivetrain will also increase
speeds while cornering.
Redesigned plastic 46T HTD spur gear.
Redesigned front and rear gearbox.
The gearbox allows you to remove and service the differentials
without detaching the suspension arm mounts. Easy access to the front
and rear differential.
Suspension:
Redesigned suspension mounts. The FF/FR/RF/RR are new for the MBX8 Eco.
Redesigned box-shaped suspension arms and arm stiffeners.
The front and rear lower arms use an impact resistant material for
increased durability. The arms are box-shaped and include arm stiffeners
to reduce flex and increase durability. Adjusting the hardness of the
lower suspension arms is now possible. This allows you to fine tune the
steering and traction from track to track. CFRP plates will be released
as an option part.
Lightweight one-piece wing mount:
The new lightweight one-piece wing mount lower the center of
gravity. The position of the wing and wing mount is optimized to improve
the performance of vehicle. The height of the wing mount is adjustable.
This allows you to control the down force on the rear of the vehicle by
simply raising or lowering the mount on the shock tower.
Lightweight high down-force wing:
The Redesigned IFMAR legal wing is lightweight and provides amazing
down force and corning. The underside of the wing uses a fresh design to
reduced weight and creates additional down-force.
Battery tray and receiver box:
The MBX8 Eco’s battery tray allows you to position a 4S battery
farther forward then with previous models. The receiver box is also new
for the MBX8 Eco.
Other redesigned parts and upgrades:
Body, Clamping Servo Saver Nut, F/R Shock Towers, Front bumper, Front center and rear center universal joint.
