Mugen Seiki have introduced new option parts for their range of on-road vehicles. First up are the HD pinions for the MRX6 and MGT7 cars. The heavy duty gears sport a nickel-plated surfaces rather than being hard-anodised which makes for improved wear resistance. They are available in four sizes including 15T and 16T first gear and 19T and 20T second gear variants. Also new are 3-hole and 4-hole pistons for the MRX and MTX cars. Coming in sets of two the pistons add more damper setup options to Mugen’s popular on-road cars and it is understood that they come in handy especially on high-bite surfaces.
Coming from Mugen Seiki and made for the MRX6 1/8th nitro on-road car are a low-friction belt pulley set and new heavy-duty aluminium front body mounts. Starting with the belt pulleys, the 10-piece set uses a new material that reduces the friction between the belts and the pulleys for improved drivetrain efficiency and thus better acceleration, top speed and mileage. The package includes a full set of front, centre and rear pulleys and it is a direct replacement for the stock parts. Also new are 8mm front aluminium body posts. Being larger in diameter than the stock parts they also feature a hard anodised surface for wear and finer spaced body clip holes for more precise body height adjustments.
Mugen have introduced a new 4-shoe clutch for their MBX-7 series of vehicles. Including a new flywheel the set also comes with four aluminium clutch shoes, a set of 0.8mm and 0.9mm springs as well as mounting material. The clutch is usable with the MBX-7R buggy and MBX7TR truck as well as the MGT7 1/8th GT car with all parts also being available separately.
