Default Mugen MBX6 Eco Bashing!

First real bashing session with my new Mugen MBX6 Eco. Running Mamba Monster ESC + CC 2200kv Motor on 4s (2x 2s Turnigy Nanotechs in series). But I got 6s on the way from hobbyking aswell

Enjoy! Feel free to Like, Subscribe and/or leave a comment either here or on youtube. Thanks.

Bashing an Eco is like running a Ferrari in a smash-up-derby.

Bashing a MBX6 is just a typical sign of a kid with more money then sence. To may other 1/8th scale buggys more suited for bashing then a true race machine like a mugen mbx.6

There's nothing wrong bashing with an ECO. It's light weight will make it a speed demon. I do hope he is running with alum shock towers though.

gotta laugh while reading two of those comments.. why all this hate??!!

Ok, RC is my life. All my money goes to RC. I have earned the money by hard working, just like you guys (or?).

The Mugen Buggies are simply some of the most durable cars out there. Only company I can think of that matches mugen bulletproofness must be Xray on their 1/8 scales. Just unbreakable.
In addition I spent way less money on this car with electronics and all than a RTR Vorza would cost in my country. Also, the vorza would have costed me a bunch of money and time in repairs, fixes and spares.

On all the RC cars I've had (typical basher cars like Traxxas, HPI etc) I broke something on every single battery pack.. My mugen on the other hand, haven't failed once. Only thing I've changed is bearings and tires and a pair of wings.

but I guess.. haters gonna hate.

stock gearing, and yes, I use alu shock towers....

Thanks for commenting btw

you did an excellent choice going with the eco for bashing, whatever people say

it's a strong car that will break and cost you less in the long run than any other "bashing car" out there

thanks for sharing the vid!

Nice, I'm sure this will end up on ebay as "lightly used" when hes done with it.

Thanks guys... yeah, "bashing" sounds really bad, but it's what most people call just driving their RC in the backyard

well, I've landed on one of the front wheels after huge jumps (10-30m) many, many times, and ran straight into hard objects at more or less full speed, not broken yet
so far handling more abuse than my friend's Losi 8ight at least
