Mugen MBX-7T 1/8th nitro & electric truggy kits

Following a handful of leaked images Mugen Seiki now have official images of the forthcoming MBX-7T nitro and MBX7-T Eco electric truggy kits available. The follow-up models of the popular MBX6-T line of race trucks build on the World Championship winning MBX-7 and feature a pivot ball front suspension while the rear design sports conventional hubs. The kits come with aluminium suspension mounts with composite inserts to adjust the kick-up, anti-squat and toe angles and a 3mm hard-anodised aluminium chassis builds a tough base for the lightened drivetrain with machined gears. The radio tray and receiver boxes received a make-over compared to the MBX-6T with the MBX-7T now featuring a new radio tray with front mounted receiver battery. The electric-powered MBX-7T Eco comes with a class-standard front battery mount while the motor and speed controller are located behind the centre differential. Other parts included in the kits are heavy duty aluminium shock towers, aluminium big bore shock absorbers and newly designed low-profile cab forward bodyshells. Both kits are set for a release in May.
