Mugen have announced the release of an all new option 5mm longer chassis, with 5mm longer rear center drive shaft, for the MBX6T Truggy. The chassis is extended 5mm on the rear section which will allow for more weight to be placed forward which in turn will increase corner entry speed and stability.

Mugen USA got in touch to tell us about the new Ninja JX21B02 .21 off-road buggy and truggy nitro racing engine. The company teamed up with O.S. Engine to create a 3-port long stroke engine with a new piston/sleeve design. The long stroke creates a stronger more linear power band from low end top fuel high end speed while the redesigned crankcase and crankshaft make for better performance and higher fuel economy. The light weight cooling head is 10 fins high but it sits 8mm lower than the previous Ninja engine for a low centre of gravity.

The Punisher body by JConcepts for the Mugen MBX-6 Eco is now available. The slight cab-forward treatment is amongst the most aggressive in class giving the Punisher top notch performance. Blended wing / body design gives additional downforce to the side-pods and windshield which increases driveability, corner speed and jump control. The rear base of the cab area represents the latest offering for 1/8th E-buggy racing featuring a super low profile design for increased air flow, escape and body placement and the lower rear deck area provides less directional loading at the rear of the vehicle for quick rotation in the tightest corners. JConcepts have also released their new Punisher wing, which we first saw at the World Championships in Pattaya last year. The wing features a flat deck, high-wicker design giving increased rear downforce. This trend busting design includes 4 different interchangeable side-dams for increased tuning options and vehicle compatibility, while extensive ribbing and support create additional flow channels underneath the deck surface with a larger outer rib closest to the side-dam. The underside of the deck also comes with a raised grid area which makes aligning to different model vehicles easier.
