the weight thing, i have two different brands of the chassis weights in my toolbox and thought about getting the heavier pillow balls also, but 2 race weekends in with my eco and i just dont think it needs them. i will try them eventually or maybe i havent been to a track that requires them, not to mention im pretty weak at setup but my buggy is flying around the track now.
the body/battery thing - im very unhappy with fitment. my stock eco body barely fits with 6500 smc pack, and only with the wires facing the rear. the used (i think proline predator) body that came with my eco sits about half an inch high on the battery side when using bigger 4s packs.
the rest of the buggy - i love it!

As far as the battery and body, a little trick I picked up, put a small spacer and longer screw under the front body mount to gain another few mm clearance for the battery.

yes, mugen made the mbx7 more agressiv to drive and better in tight turns. they mostly put the weight more forward

Tech Rookie
Question for you Mugen experts. I'm thinking about getting this buggy. I feel good about it after all the videos I've watched and things I've read. How often does Mugen make new models. I see this one cam out 12/14. Think there is going to be a new one this year?
Thank you!
Thank you!

With running the rear under drive do you need to go up in weight with the diff fluid?

Nope just run the 42/12 rear.. 4k in the rear.... We also dont run anything over 7k in the center.. First add more toe to the rear before you buy those gears.. Stock is 2.75 rear toe with dot in the middle of the pill insert.. Install the insert with the dot towards the "outside" of the car.. If you need more traction, ad 5k rear.. Cheap fixes

mbx8 : I will be very interested to see what they improve ! probably a bit more suspension travel, a even more narrow setup, a bit more weight forward and let's hope : STRONGER front arms !
by the way, I let a message to mugen japan about my videos : they didn't reply. it's ok, their customers are racers, not bashers like me. Adam drake did reply to me on youtube, that is much appreciated ! they pick up the right guy to promote mugen !

Mbx7r black springs
Hey what is with the black springs I see everyone using??? Is it 10.25 rear and 9.75 front. And what piston and oils do people use in Australia.
Thanks
Thanks
