Mugen Seiki MBX-8 "R" NITRO 1/8 4WD Off-Road Nitro Buggy Kit - E2027
Here it is - MBX-8 R
Suspension:
New suspensions and geometry. The MBX8R uses new, narrow RF (C) and RR (D) pivot blocks with new pivot inserts for improved tunability. New longer box-shaped wishbones and wishbone stiffeners. The rear arm is made of an impact-resistant material that increases durability. The hardness of the lower wishbones can be adjusted with optional CFRP plates. The rear steering knuckles are also new for the MBX8R. The molded steering knuckles feature CFRP plates for rear roll center adjustment.
The new front shock tower and upper control arm mount utilize new pivot inserts for better tunability.
Landing gear:
The chassis of the MBX8R has a slightly different design to accommodate the new chassis geometry.
Coupling:
New 4-shoe clutch. The MBX8R comes with an all-new 4-shoe clutch from Mugen Seiki. The new 4-shoe clutch was designed to be easy to machine and more tunable. This clutch features a 34mm aluminum 4-jaw flywheel with removable steel pins. The new clutch features a unique ability to adjust spring tension to tailor clutch engagement to the engine, track conditions and personal preferences, optimizing fuel economy and performance. Several clutch springs will be available as option parts. The new 13T ventilated clutch bell will be included in the MBX8R kit. The MBX8R comes with two aluminum and two carbon clutch shoes.
Differential and drivetrain:
High Traction Differentials are included in the MBX8R. The Mugen Seiki HTD ensures better acceleration, longer run times and smoother handling. The HTDs also increase stability, traction and improve handling on uneven surfaces. The HTD differentials use 20T internal gearing to improve consistency and allow the differentials to operate more smoothly. This makes it easier to time rhythm sections, improves traction in bumpy and low-grip conditions and increases fuel consumption. The MBX8R comes with 12T bevel gears and 42T bevel gears and 46T spur gears.
New wing and wing mount:
The lightweight, high-downforce wing allows more air to flow to improve jumping. The new IFMAR-approved wing is durable, lightweight and very stable on the track and in the air.
- Redesigned rear wing mount provides additional downforce and increases durability. The CFRP wing plate will be available as an optional part.
- New S-curved air filter pot and large volume filter housing.
- New brake lockup and caliper springs for smoother, more consistent braking.
- New 90 degree fuel tank connector for cleaner fuel line routing.
- New stabilizer boots to reduce stabilizer movement.
- Emulsion damper caps are included in the MBX8R kit, and you can choose between diaphragm and emulsion dampers.
- New large-capacity battery box and radio plate.
- New bracket and receiver box to which electrical switches from different manufacturers can be attached.
- Aluminum wing disc
- Rear upper arm connection compatible with the new rear steering knuckles.
- Harder and lighter F/R lower links will be available as an option part.
