Motogo Seiki M22-S.A.C. prototype

Japanese option parts wizards Motogo Seiki have released images of their TLR 22 based M22-S.A.C. mid motor buggy. The company that introduced a mid motor conversion kit for the Kyosho RB5 buggy some years ago developed a completely new transmission for the buggy with the main gear and slipper shaft being placed extremely low within the gearbox. The idler gear is made of a RB6 differential gear, from what we understand, and it drives the standard 22 ball differential meaning the unit is of a 3-gear design over the standard 4-gear mid motor gearbox. The whole transmission case is machined from aluminium with the rear shock tower sitting almost in “rear motor” position allowing to place the rear wing above the rear A-arms for a more compact appearance of the buggy.

The rear gearbox also incorporates mounting brackets for an optional anti-roll bar while up front the buggy is equipped with an aluminium dual bellcrank steering, a new alloy bulkhead and shock tower. The buggy that also received a new chassis, is specially designed for Stock class racing on high-grip surfaces but we have no information if the kit will ever make it into production. We bring you more updates on the buggy as soon as they become available.
