Are Mugen MBX4 parts still readily available?
I'm looking into many 1/8th scae kits and have come across a few good deals on MBX4 RRs. I'm heavily considering the new Xray but I have a small budget so used may be my best bet. Just wondering if the older Mugen is still supported.

nitrohouse.com I have 3 mbx 4's the original, the rr and xr. Most hobby shops can get parts, but it will take a week or so. No hobby shop has anything in stock for these buggys. the rr and the xr are the same, only difference is the chassis, center shafts and chassis braces, but everything else is the same, and i mean everything.

Nitrohouse still has some MBX4 stuff, but as parts sell out they are listed as discontinued.

your worried about the owners manual and the decal sheet not being made anymore? You must need some glasses or something. Call them up when you order, mugens U.S. headquarters is less then a mile down the road from them. They litterally get first pick when it comes to parts and kits.

to some degree. I mean, if you're breaking stuff on these things, you are doing something wrong. I have had my 3 buggies for over 5 years years now and the only thing that has ever broken was a lower front arm my mbx-4 (1st generation). And I race quite often and have had some pretty gnarly crashes. All 1/8 scales are very tough. The only thing that wears out are drivetrain components. And 3/4 of the drivetrain is identical to that of the mbx-5. The only parts that aren't are the cvd's. All I'm saying hear is that picking up an older mbx-4rr is not bad for a first 1/8 scale in which you don't want to break the bank and still be competitive at the local track.
