Mugen Seiki MSX1 1:10 4WD Electric Buggy

Having entered the 1:10 competition buggy market at the 2023 IFMAR World Championships in Arizona with the 2WD MSB1, Mugen Seiki has just released details of its long awaited 4WD kit, the MSX1.  Seen in prototype form at the 2025 World Championships in Australia, the Japanese manufacturer say they MSX1 ‘combines an efficient drivetrain layout with a durable design and extensive setup options, giving racers the ability to fine-tune the buggy to suit a wide range of track conditions and driving styles.’  The MSX1 utilises a lightweight and durable 2.5mm A7075 T6 aluminium chassis featuring an 8-degree kick-up.  The chassis design provides a strong foundation for the buggy while helping deliver predictable handling and stability.  Key features of the new buggy include height-adjustable front and rear gearboxes, allowing the differential position to be adjusted to three different heights.  This provides racers with additional tuning options to alter the buggy’s handling characteristics and optimise performance for different track conditions.  A slipper clutch provides an additional tuning option for managing power delivery, while the adjustable front one-way allows racers to fine-tune the drivetrain characteristics to match their preferred driving style and track conditions.  Durable 7-degree aluminium caster blocks provide precise front-end geometry and contribute to the MSX1’s responsive and consistent handling.  The MSX1 comes complete with a lightweight, stylish kit lexan body designed to complement the buggy’s modern appearance while helping reduce unnecessary weight.
