Mugen Seiki MRX7 Onroad Car

With the IFMAR 1:8 Onroad World Championship just a month away and their factory driver Simon Kurzbuch one of the title favourites for Chile, Mugen Seiki has unveiled their latest 1:8 Onroad car, the MRX7.  Using prototype of the Japanese manufacturer’s car, Kurzbuch was able to secure the TQ and runner-up tspot at the EFRA European Championship.  The MRX7 has been fully adapted to the current requirements of the category and incorporates a few parts from its successful predecessor – Shoki Takahata winning the 2019 World title in the USA with a prototype of the MRX6.  The Japanese driver is another who will fight for the title at the impressive CACH track in Santiago in early December.  Mugen Seiki said that having spent a lot of time testing, rethinking existing parts the MRX7  has new suspension geometry and improved weight distribution.
