Is the MBX7R Eco in stock anywhere? Every online shop I know of has it on back order. Does anyone know why it is out of stock everywhere? Is there just that much demand? If that's the case am I going to just have to put in an order and wait for stock?

It is divisible, wait late september and buy MBX7R Eco, or wait 2018 and buy the new MBX8 Eco :-)

From what I've seen the MBX8 Eco doesn't have any confirmed date yet. Only speculation on a late 2018 release.

I'm building my new MBX7r Eco and thought you guys may be able to help me out. I'm working on step 13 "Rear Upright" assembly. It shows a set screw (SK3x3) going into the hub carrier. There is a note that says, "Keep the SK3x3 from touching the C0601" C0601 is the inner hub carrier bearing.

What function is this little set crew performing? At first I thought it was retaining the inner bearing but the note says not to touch the bearing with the set screw? It has me stumped.
Yeah man, I just built one too. I was so confused on what purpose that set screw served. I had no idea! I raced it 3 times... Last weekend got 2nd in A main. This weekend got 3rd. Its a killer buggy.

Try running Tekno Low Freq springs. Pink fronts, Red rears. They work amazing

Those screws are actually plugs for the oil holes for the bearings.

Close. Actually the outdrive that usually gets some corrosion between the bearings. Keep it oiled and they will come in and out very easy.

Default shock question

I was recently lied too and was sold what i believe to be the mbx7 instead of the mbx7r eco. The chassis doesnt have F or R holes for the weights and the shock pistons are 5 holes instead of 8 so wondering if i can just add the shock piston with 8 holes or do i need to purchase the full shock kit for the mbx7reco?

here the mugen 8 holes pistons https://www.amainhobbies.com/mugen-s...ge2525/p386716

but depending on your track, you could keep the 5 holes

Those pistons may not work. The mbx7 had 15mm shocks and the mbx7r has 16mm shocks.

who has put their buggy on a diet? How much did you lose? Looking to build a "Superlight" 2S buggy for indoors.
