I really enjoy racing my little 1/24 Kyosho buggies so I decided to head to the STL dirt burners track to feel out if I like driving at a larger scale. I tested the waters with my Traxxas slash 1/10 and decided I’d like to try out a 1/8 buggy but had no idea where to start then stumbled across your channel. Very informative. Keep up the good work, Jared
Mugen is known for not only their durability and performance, but also longevity. The kits last a very long time before wearing out. Mugen also does not come out with new models very often, so you don’t have to worry about obsolescence. The correct choice is clear… ;)
@DirtConcept right on! I'm glad to hear this.. I did have a nitro very long ago inside a pan chassis team associated truck, but I don't really know if they had come up with well known truggies address to it like we all know today. And I bet I'm wrong about this, but it didn't seem to have as much attention to the details like we see now, but I'm awfully sure that there was. No back them I didn't even consider lean or rich.. it was just something I bought use. I ended up giving it to my little brother. But yeah. It certainly seems shout, and kinda unbreakable almost lol for real 😄

Universals... not dog bones! 😉
Your wire job is so clean.
Thank you! I highly recommend watching Nick Wautlet’s tutorial on wiring if you’d like to replicate.

Thank you 👍
Looking like a top contender
Thanks! It’s been a minute since I’ve ran nitro buggy!
Nice looking cars🙌🙌
Thank you!
👀 nice!
Thanks 🔥
Thinking of grabbing one of these or a tekno. Track shop doesn’t carry mugen stuff but something is making me still want this. Any input?

Liquid for the shocks? Which density do you use for the electric?
650/600 in the heat of the summer
Is there anything wrong with the mbx8, if that's all you've got?
I have the Tb l servo By protek, And an OS motor but I haven't broke it in yet.
It's my very first nitro and i'm realizing there's a Lot to learn.. I too ordered the mugen clutch.
Aluminum composite.
Absolutely not! In my opinion this is the best overall 1/8 buggy platform on the market today.

How much did it cost to build up the nitro buggy?
Retail is around $2,500 for the nitro buggy and $2,000 for the electric buggy.
How’s the rear traction on loose/loamy tracks for the e-buggy?
Great. The new MBX8R rear end resulted in a very noticeable improvement in overall rear end stability and traction over the previous generation MBX8.
What size pinion on the ebuggy?
Typically 16 or 17 tooth
I have a mbx7R with novarossi mito4
