Build Thread Warby's Mugen MBX6 ECO buggy

[Warby]

same running conditions I assume?
since you live in australia, louise tires might be prevalent there, try looking at their 8th scale buggy tire offerings. I remember there's a certain model in that lineup with a tread pattern that resmbles the badlands but I don't remember the exact name. Only downside is they tend to balloon so look for the belted version if you can.

I'll use my Badlands for general bashing on grass, lawn, offroad, etc but I also want something for the tracks.

This is the only actual rc track I have near me apart from bmx tracks, but I've never been there. Its only new.

The bmx tracks here are generally loose gravel, road base material.

Whatever you can get that are the most comparable to these tread patterns, and in a soft, or soft “long wear” compound. Compound is #1, tread design (to a degree obviously-you don’t want a pattern that flat out has no chance of working) is #2. Always..

These are JConcepts Reflex, Falcon, and Recon. In order of what I feel will work best on what you showed above in your photos:

Cool, thanks. I'll have a look. I really have no clue on buggy tyres for track use. It's all new to me.

I’m not sure what manufacturers you can get down there in Austria obviously, but those three tread patterns are what I know will work for you IF you can get JConcepts..

Others I believe you oughta be able to get would be:

Hot Race-
Amazonia
Vesuvio
Bangkok V2

VP-Pro-
Turbo Trax Evo
Daggers Evo
Cactus Evo

6Mik-
Magma 2.0
Scratch

Aqua A2

VP-Pro’s are an AWESOME tire, and the price is KILLER. They’re my favorite tire 100%, just ridiculously hard to get where I am. So if you can get those-they’d be my number one recommendation for you.

I'll have a look tomorrow when I've got a clear head. I've had a few drinks . I do know JConcepts are readily available here but not sure about the exact ones you mentioned.

I have both of these above and funnily enough one of them I run on my Mugen MBX8R eco..

As I mentioned in the "What’d ya get in the mail" thread, a lot of parts have arrived over the last week.

 

[Warby]

I'm happy to have the titanium screw upper set, so I can start assembling with them.
Thanks again to @Littlemotor for helping me get these and the other parts.

Note: This E0831 titanium kit does not have every screw required. Some specific screws plus the 2.5mm screws and grub screws are not supplied.

 

[Warby]

Don't think I mentioned that I also bought a ebay lot of kit bags from a MBX8 kit. In hindsight, I should have bought this earlier as it came with a few bits and bobs which I needed and had already purchased separately.

 

[Warby]

Fitted titanium screws where possible on the rear assembly.
