Mugen Seiki MBX8R ECO 1/8 Off-Road Competition Electric Buggy Kit

Coming along, and looks great!
I would love to build an Arrma from a kit, too bad they never offered it.
Actually I did build a Mojave from Jenny's parts, but its not the same as brand new in part bags with a detailed instruction manual.

I built a Senton totally from scratch. It’s awesome but was way to expensive.

Brother.. A week after I received the last few parts for my Mojave, the EXB roller went on sale. Then I started adding up my parts with delivery costs. Ughh!
Obviously not a wise project plan financially, but was still kinda fun building it slowly week after week. Took a couple months.

Rear gear box. So far a very solid build.

This is a first for me. Rubber grommet for a bit of flex. Supposedly a little less stress on the chassis and body.

Something about their color of anodizing really does it for me.
Making me want to build another one. Getting ready to move tho, most of my cars and tools are in bins.
I'm sitting here looking at old photos tho.

Time to do rear upright.

The geometry and extensive tuneability are amazing.

Time to knock out servo saver and motor mount. Pleasant surprise, 16t pinion was included in the kit, bought the exact same one a couple of weeks ago. Nice to have an extra

I like it! Solid!!!

I’m going to run this set up.

I’m gonna skip the motor mount for now and move on. This is what a

Mugen Seiki MBX8R ECO 1/8 Off-Road Competition Electric Buggy Kit chassis looks like.​

The MBX8R ECO chassis features an updated design to accommodate the updated suspension geometry. The chassis also has additional machining for increased droop and ground clearance.​

Steering linkage.

Front clip installed. After installing I noticed I have a longer chassis brace included in kit. Any Mugen people out there know benefits Of one or the other?

Mehr oder weniger Flex!!!

Mehr oder weniger Flex!!!

That’s what I thought.
