Here we go:
The NEW MBX8 has a lot to offer! More durable, more acceleration, more runtime, easier to work on, and lightweight. The new Mugen Seiki MBX8 buggy has been put to the tested and develop by the best drivers in the world. Soon you’ll be able to get your hands on the MBX8 Nitro Buggy. Coming late January 2018!
Part # E2021MBX8 Nitro Buggy Kit.
Here’s a look at some of the new features for the Mugen Seiki MBX8.
Chassis:
- The MBX8 chassis features a new design that improves traction and stability in bumpy conditions and on the exit of corners. The steering post are also keyed into the MBX8 chassis for easier maintenance.
Differential and drivetrain:
- High Traction Differentials are included in the MBX8. The Mugen Seiki HTD provides increased acceleration, longer runtime, and more consistent handling. The HTD’s also increase stability, traction and improve handling in bumpy conditions. The HTD has a new larger volume diff cup to increase consistency during long main events. This makes it easier to time rhythm sections, better in bumpy and low grip conditions, helps to increase traction, and increases fuel mileage.
- New straight cut 13T bevel gear and 44T conical gear.
The new straight cut bevel and conical gears increase acceleration, runtime, and efficiency. A free and efficient drivetrain will also increase speeds while cornering.
Lightweight one-piece wing mount.
- The new lightweight one-piece wing mount lower the center of gravity. The position of the wing and wing mount is optimized to improve the performance of vehicle. The height of the wing mount is adjustable. This allows you to control the down force on the rear of the vehicle by simply raising or lowering the mount on the shock tower.
- Lightweight high down-force wing.
The new IFMAR legal wing is lightweight and provides amazing down force and corning. The underside of the wing uses a new design to reduced weight and creates additional down-force.

Hello mlax,
Drive Train is not "Change" in a big way but more to "Refined" way.. It will come with a TRUE Straight Cut Bevel and Pinion Gears (NEW) with a smaller 5x11x4mm Pinion Bearing (Very Important in relation with Friction)..
Diff Access would still be the same as the 7..
Cheers..

Yes it is also my opinion. The good old one are the best.
10 years ago i use the 5x11x4 in a Kyosho ahhhh not good.
The HDT Diffs must me ran in or have this diffs other O-Rings which are better than the old one in the 7R ?
