Mugen Seiki MBX6T 1/8 Scale Off-Road Competition Truggy Kit
I had a Losi t 2.0 for a year and loved the way it handled. It wasn't until a swapped to Mugen that i realised that there was more to be had. This is a great truggy and has a better build quality and finish than the Losi. The only draw back is that it doesn't seem to have the easily available set-up info that the Losi has, you have to dig to find anything.

Mugen Seiki MBX6T 1/8 Scale Off-Road Competition Truggy Kit
Bought this a few months ago for $529.99 from amainhobbies. It is a remarkable truck. Very strong, light, and nimble. Soaks up the rough stuff with ease and soars though the air flat. Very controlable in flight as well. Coming from Jammin X2 to this was the best thing I could have ever done. This begs to be pushed to its limits. Plenty of forums out there for setup tips and assistance. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to make the switch or get into the 1/8th truggy class. I guess the word is out because the price has gone up $40.00. Since January I have yet to replace a part and everything is still tight. No sloppy arms or other problem issues. It is very durable. I run with a standard Vspec and get an easy/consistant 11 mins. I love this truck.

Mugen Seiki MBX6T 1/8 Scale Off-Road Competition Truggy Kit
Had the MBX5T Prospec which in itself was a great truggy, now running the 6T and all I can say is "WOW" what an even better truggy. This is IMO one of the best truggies out there period. Don't get me wrong I'm pretty sure all the other brand of truggies out there are great in there own way and I've owned and driven/raced alot of them but I always end up buying a Mugen. I'm a sucker for quality products and Mugen produces some of the best out there. Enough said!!!!!!!!!

Just finished building the car and it was perfect, no binding and everything fit together. The car feels very solid, plastics are strong and aluminium parts really give the car a nice finish. I will give another review when the cars fully broken in and seen a few race meets.

Mugen Seiki MBX6T 1/8 Scale Off-Road Competition Truggy Kit
Hi, i just bouth two of these 6t truggys, 1 for my hubby, and 1 for my son, they both had losi 8T truggys before, they said you cant compare this 6t with the losi 8t, because the 8t simply isnt mugen quality, they said its like going from a vw too a vette, take it from me they both have been racing nitro trucks and truggys for a long time and said this truggy is second to none...not even the new losi 8t 2.0.........this is just there personal opinion so take for what its worth...............GO MUGEN !!!!!!! -//- Hopefully you get to drive one because when you do you will simply fall in love. If your thinking about getting this truck, stop thinking and just get it. You will not be disappointed. It has all the steering in the world and stays planted going around turns when your going 200mph. Only thing I would change on the box set up is to put 10k in the center instead of 5k, and put 5k in the front. Besides that it is an awesome truggy. I went to this from a Losi 8ight-t and am now laughing at how much better this truggy is compared to it. All in all just get this truggy.

Bought an XRAY XT8 09 SPEC instead but I am also going to pick this one up soon for my g/f as we go racing every weekend. I would say after seeing both these kits go I would only stick with these two brands due to the overwhelming quality that oozes out of them. Build one and You will see. Stay away from the rinky dinky brands that give you all that junk plastic and all that overdone advertising to trick you into spending more money in the long run due to the lack of durability. You may pay more for an XRAY or a Mugen but you will break them less and thats something I can vouche for. Buying Losi or AE is like buying a really good Subaru or a Mitsubishi Lancer...HOWEVER, buy a Mugen or an Xray and you get Ferrari/Porsche quality and performance. They are Supercars in the RC world amongst a bunch of Rice burning crap! If you dont care about quality then just look elsewhere and join the rest of the sheep. Ive driven this kit, and I own the Xray, wouldnt go back if Losi sponsored me!

Well the mbx 6t is the hottest truck on the market it will give the losi 2.0 a run for its money. Its 10mm longer than the 5t everything is all centered up which gives it the perfect balance. It's 10x more nimble than the 5t. The on power push that the 5t had is gone. if it is pushing than your setup is off or your driving over your head. The bump and rough track handling is great its very stable in the rough. it's jumping ability is amazing its very light and does not take much to get it to fly through the air. Thanks to the big bore shocks which makes it possible for the 6t to handle like it does its a new breed and it will be on the podiums no doubt. You wont be dissapointed ounce you get it on the track and then fine tune it to your liking and you should be able to be competitive with it. Best of all you dont need any upgrades to win races with it.Buy it and you will see what i mean. Thanks Shane Bedford/Mugen Seiki Racing

Your review is NOT about the truggy itself dude...
I on the other hand, DID drive the 6T. It was very good!
Light, nimble, very explosive acceleration. Box setup is too soft for my liking. Thicken up the shock oil to 450. It's got killer on-power steering...similar to the ST-RR, off-power steering is REALLY good too. The new 6T is badass!
