Default Mugen MBX6 review in RC Car magzine

I just got my new RC Car and holy crap the mugen mbx6 is on the cover and reviewed. the car looks pretty awesome. it got a great review and based on how the car is doing at my local tracks, i think they're right about the preformance parts. they say the car is lighter and quicker. i had a mbx5 and it was very heavy.

I wouldn't exactly say, "very" heavy.

At over 8lbs, it was "very" heavy compared to the X6 that's nearly 1 full pound lighter. That's a huge difference in my opinion.

The point is that the car is much lighter and faster.

I'm surprised no one is interested in the MBX-6, its one of the best buggies out on the market now. i got to drive one last weekend, it's very light and responsive. i couldnt believe the diffrence between my old mbx5R and the new buggy.

has anyone drivin one yet?

One of our top drivers got one, it is LIGHT, he said that with his current setup its pretty twitchy, but like any new buggy, just gotta find the setup that works for you, nice looking buggy though.

I've never really looked at Mugen's because no one around here carries and supports the brand. That's a big issue when you need something quickly. On-line shops are a good source, but they can't get you back on the track tomorrow. It's a shame because I have always felt Mugen made great machines.

I gotta weigh my MBX6. At first it felt light, but after the final build, it didn't feel as light as I thought.
