Mugen Seiki released a picture of the new MBX6, although it is blurry as sheet.

f$$king lame! I would have rather not even seen the pic, as to see one that shity. BOOOO MOOOOG!:cussing:

It was said on sgrid in a post by Kris Moore, heck, here is just the quote from him...
"We don’t have an exact release date but this should be available in the next few weeks."
"If anyone is going to be at the Pre-WC/Nitro Fest in Charlotte in July the full Japanese race team will be there and can answer more questions about the MBX6. I hate to say we wont be running the new buggy there but it will be a good opportunity to talk with the full Mugen race team from America, Asia and Europe."

Scott hughes talked like they was gonna be running it at the worlds in sept.:confused:
Who knows, i would like to see that thing in action. Either way, i'll be there in sept.:thumbs:

[LUV DA AIR]

If they are going to be running it at the pre-world in July, Im not waiting till Sept. I think Im going to go check this out.

[iLL-Mitch]

I'm excited to see what they are coming up with... I do hate the tease of a blurry pic though.... http://www.mugenseiki.com/menueefi.htm

Word has they have been running the mbx6 A LOT at Mugen's private track.
Too bad they can't take any dang pictures so we can at least have an idea of what is going on, even if it had a big old egg on it...

im trying to figure out why they went shorter on the chassis:confused:

[team lo-tec]

im trying to figure out why they went shorter on the chassis:confused:

Probibly cause its got so much turn in that the rearend is too loose. So they shortened the wheel base to compensate. On my mbx5t, its like that so i always run short wheel base and its hooked! Sometimes i wished i could go a lil bit shorter. Just my thought.

[LUV DA AIR]

shorter wheel base = smaller turn apex.

[RACEREVO08]

shorter wheelbase also means a little more unstable in bumpy sections tho. i guess you just gotta find the right mix... too long and you wont make it thru the turn in a 1 point. lol. and too short and youll be boundin all over the place and constanly having to oversteer and readjust...:shoot: 6-1, 1/2 dozen the other...

[gatermaxx]

according to James Little off of sgrid, the Mugen could be quite a bit further along then expected. Possibly see pictures and maybe even Europe and Asian sales after their Holiday (I think this ends next week, but am not 100%).

[cheesecake]

that wouldnt surprise me

Stuff like that can be worked out but, you gotta work on the car.

Ive never been to track, that my car works exactly the same as the last place Ive ran. Ive always had to change something.

Looks good. What about the truggy?

[Grasshopper]

Ran this buggy for a tank and "OMG " this thing rocks !!

Probably turned fastest laps I ever have ( at least it felt that way ) with somebody elses car and radio , without any practice. :eek:

Felt just as Mugen should - only better.
All I can say is that it was my MBX5R gone over the top - everything the same only way better! ( LOL :D ) .

Three Thumbs Up !! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:
