Thanks.

Quick question.
Only possible to do Anti-Squate??? What about Pro-Squate???

Is there a separate thread for the Eco that someone can send me the link to?

0° is the closest you'll get, but I can't think of any reason you'd want to run pro-squat anyway especially offroad where anti-squat really helps with bumps and off power steering. If you're looking for rear traction on power I'd try 3°toe in first.

does any one know of a air filter cover that will work with the mbx7r filter?i was looking at outerwear but wasn't shure witch one would fit

if you're breaking your mbx7/mbx6 front arms , you can switch to xray xb8 arms ( it's a direct fit )

I wonder if something as simple as boiling the arms wouldn't help minimize breakage?

werner sline

I tested that on another brand and it didn't work. As I jump and crash a lot for my freestyle jumps, I actually reinforce all my arms woth a home made steel bandage. even with this solution, the mugen arm bends quickly :



but I didn't boil them. I'm not sure that it will make it more elastic...

The X-ray arms are 2mm shorter. Please make sure to add 2mm worth of washers to the pillow alls if you are going to do this mod.

Ive found the newer run of arms don't bend so easy I've run 3 race days n same arms not are straight win my e buggy and Nitro

I too have never had an issue with arms. Then again I don't take many tumbles. The only people I have seen have issues always boil down to driver error

i break the mugen arms because i run the heavier eco version and i jump ( see my vids in my signature )

nitro racers run a lighter car and hopefully don't crash too much !

My Eco and nitro both never see any issues. I think it's just that it's not made to be a basher. Mugen seiki is a race brand designed around racers for racers. Not knocking those bashing I just mean from a durability standpoint it was never made to be landing on one arm at a time or tumbling ect so no reason to knock the quality of them

werner sline

the mbx7r is indeed a fine racing machine. but also a great basher ! you only got to swap those arms.
I appreciate the durable steel parts, the overall big ball bearings ( 16x8x5mm ), the durable wing tower, shocks towers and gearbox, the 2x 4mm screws to hold the motor mount. I didn't find any other 1/8th buggy with all those goodies !
I had to build another rear chassis stiffener though ( now made out of steel ! )

see this vid about crashes. sensitive racers might not appreciate it ! but it's a good proof that the mugen is tough ! I made a good choice
