Mugen MBX7R 1/8th nitro off-road buggy

In the build up to the 2014 IFMAR 1/8th Nitro Off-Road World Championships in Italy Mugen Seiki introduce the follow-up model of the 2012 Worlds winning MBX7. Not a revolution but an evolution of the existing design, the kit features improvements in the suspension and steering areas along other subtle changes. Mugen concentrated on making the suspension on the MBX7R even better with new 16mm bodied front and rear racing shocks. These new shocks will improve stability in both bumps and jumps greatly. The bigger bodies’ shocks will make the 7R have less fade during longer runs which means you can drive even harder than ever before. The rear shocks are 4mm shorter and with the use of a new rear shock tower will keep the back of the 7R hooked up and on the ground. The 7R gets a chassis change with the side angle of the chassis changed which creates more strength and a better feeling on all racing surfaces.
