You would also need the hinge pin mounts below also. They have been out for quite some time. You might be able to find the same kits on eBay or when dollar restocks truggy parts when the X7TR comes out. I still run my MBX6R from time to time and love how it drives.

To get some insight, was it Mugen that offered the Carbon Side Guards, and if so what is the Part Number

Nope, it was user Rpm1968 that offered them. Quick google search and mbx6 manual doesn't return anything Mugen made for the 6, I remember there was for the 5R.

Okay... So, I'm sure I'm asking a question that's been asked a hundred times over. But, I don't feel like going through a thousand pages to find it. I'm new to 1/8 scale and just bought a Mugen MBX6. Are most of the parts backwards compatible with the MBX7, our no? And, if some super nice guy could give me maybe a detailed answer, that would be great.

From what I remember from the X7 first days people were getting the 6 tank on the 7. To drill a new hole is expected but confirm that on the start of the X7 thread and not the X7R thread.

Drivetrain and suspension parts if you change a bunch of them together as they are relying on new parts to work. Steering parts/chassis are a no-no as the steering has the pivots closer together amongst other small changes. The upgrade I can recommend is the 7's ring and pinion gears as the standard 6 parts aren't free rolling other than that the car is top notch.

Yes, at club level the car really itself is not going to hold you back. untill you start racing with the pros earning $$$ the latest isnt needed at all and do not let anyone else tell you otherwise
But sure the newer cars are stronger and sometimes be easier to work on.. unless you buy an eight X, one of the hardest cars to work on, diff access is worse than the traditional.

A local fast guy here is still using an original d8(he bought all the local ones and all the parts he could to last forever) and blows everyone away, doesnt have a big budget, using like a futaba 4pk, never uses new tyres etc hell he still uses some old orion discovery engines.

Engines havnt really improved much in the last sort of 8 years, and the popularity opinion on the old vz spec'd engines is strong.

tyes is the biggest change and its the main thing.

wow!!! this is really really good to hear i am starting to feel down that my buggy might not be competitive enough even with new tires, oils, bearings and engine. Now it seems that all i have to improve is my driving, and that is what im hoping

New to the site and my First nitro buggy.
Building an older MBX6. What throttle linkage kits fit this nitro buggy?
Any upgrades worth doing, or should I wait to get a newer kit after I get used to what I have?
