Mugen MBX7TR & MBX7TR Eco 1/8th truggy kits

Mugen MBX7TR & MBX7TR Eco 1/8th truggy kits

Mugen Seiki have introduced the new MBX7TR nitro and MBX7TR Eco electric truggy kits. Both sport many high-end improvements in suspension, steering and drivetrain to further increase the trucks’ performances. New to the 7TR are 16mm front and rear shocks that improve traction and feeling on high grip conditions. The new shocks are also outfitted with new 1.4mm shock springs to reduce chassis roll, increase traction, improve jumping and add stability on bumpy tracks. The kits are also based on a new 3mm A7075 hard anodised chassis with increase side bends to up strength and to give a more precise felling on all surfaces. The MBX7TR uses the E2129 front upright which has a trailing axle position to improve overall steering and the steering Ackermann plate from the 7R buggy is also included in the 7TR to add more adjustability. The servo saver spring was also update to the E2316 to improve the precision of the trucks steering dramatically while the drivetrain has been changed and improved with the use of a new universal style driveshaft for both the front and rear of the truck as this greatly improves the feel of the truck on bumpy surfaces. The universal driveshafts will make the overall drivetrain much smoother and will spin with less friction. Both kits will hit the stores soon.
