With the success of the MBX8R Kit, Mugen Seiki is now
offering a MBX8R Eco that includes many of the same parts from the
MBX8R. The new Mugen Seiki MBX8R Eco buggy has been tested and develop
by the best drivers in the world and you’ll be able to get your hands on
one soon! The team at Mugen Seiki spent a lot of time testing and
developing the MBX8R geometry in race conditions throughout 2021, which
lead to many major victories. Ryan Maifield won The Dirt Nitro Challenge
and ROAR 1/8th Electric Nationals again in 2021! The MBX8R Eco has many
new parts to increase stability, rear traction, improved jumping, and
have a wide tuning range.
Suspension:
New suspension mounts and geometry. The MBX8R Eco uses
new narrow RF (C) and RR (D) pivot blocks with new pivot inserts for
increased tuneability. New longer box-shaped suspension arms and arm
stiffeners. The rear arm uses an impact resistant material for increased
durability. Adjusting the hardness of the lower suspension arms is
possible with optional CFRP plates. The rear uprights are also new for
the MBX8R Eco. The molded uprights have CFRP plates to adjust rear roll
center.
New front shock tower and upper front arm mount use new pivot inserts for increased tuneability
Chassis:
The MBX8R Eco chassis features a slightly new design to
accommodate the new suspension geometry. The chassis has additional
machining for increase droop, beveling on the front of the chassis for
increased ground clearance, and is lighter.
New Battery mount for 4S shorty and standard batteries.
You can install either short or standard size batteries using the new
two-piece battery tray. The kit comes with 1 strap for 4S short
battery(380mm) and 1 strap for 4S standard battery(455mm).
Differential and drive train:
High Traction Differentials are included in the MBX8R
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
diffs use new 20T internal gears to improve consistency and to have
smoother operating differentials. This makes it easier to time rhythm
sections, better in bumpy and low grip conditions, and helps to increase
traction. The MBX8R Eco comes with 13T bevel gear and 44T conical gears
and 46T molded spur gear in the kit.
New wing and wing mount:
Lightweight high down-force wing allows more air to flow
to improve jumping. The new IFMAR legal wing is durable, lightweight,
and very stable on the track and in the air.
Features:
- Sway bar collars to reduce sway bar movement
- Emulsion shock caps are included in the MBX8R Eco kit
- Aluminum wing buttons
- Updated center differential covers
- Updated C and D blocks
- Chassis update allows for increased droop and ground clearance
- Updated wing and wing mounts
