MBX8R Eco Buggy Under the Hood 2024

[@alanperry9304]

This is cool, only wish there was a list of hop ups and part numbers in the description.

[@dmo85471]

Do you have a set-up sheet for off-road grass, please 😊

[@BartHuys]

Hey Adam, Why did you chose for the 2200kv motor instead of the 1900kv? Cheers Bart

[@DirtConcept]

Looks awesome. The hobbywing stuff has a natural smooth power delivery. Really liking that setup. Are you dremeling the center diff cover for chassis flex or another reason? Thanks for sharing.

[@AdamDrake]

Thank you! The center diff cover is cut to be able to flip the center diff for the electric clutch.

[@jacinthalasz7082]

Really nice car with nice upgrades. I wonder what will be your experience with the disc brake function on the gen3 ESC. Will it be good enough not to use the traction drive system anymore? Please share with us your experience and how you settle with the break settings in the end. Thank you and have a good 2024 race season!

[@tlrchan23]

What benefit does the 5mm spacing on the rear shock collar add?

[@DaveWeagle]

The buggy is looking great! Did you end up changing springs in the traktion drive clutch when you went to the higher RPM 2250KV motor? And for a future video I'd love to hear your thoughts on traktion drive tuning and associated ESC settings vs. ESC settings only to achieve a "similar" feel.

[@Deathdezine]

Wha wha what!!! Hobbywing! Figured you were Tekin for life! Haha. Both hobbywing and Tekin are great choices. But hobbywing has got the lead with all the tuning you can do to the esc.

Why are you running a dean’s connector instead of just the bullet connectors?

[@GoebelsDetailshop78]

What made you goes with the 2200 instead of the 1900 . I was thinking about going to a 2200 as well

[@charlesdekeadorcdriver2118]

Looking good dude!! Thanks for taking us on a tour🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@islandZavage]

I wanna pick one up, but are they releasing an mbx9eco anytime soon????😅

[@CodySiler]

Interesting to see the bullet to Deans adapter in the car. I assume this is for reverse polarity protection?

[@leigholding1397]

Hi Adam, Good luck for the new year... I've heard that pillow ball car tend to need more toe out front, say 2 degrees, and rear 3.5 degrees.. over C hub design cars...

[@RonKuhl-rs7ic]

Adam I have a question with the MIP high flow piston kit do I still use the stock washer and then the other washer that comes with the I'm trying to ask is you know the stock little washer that sits on top of the shaft and then you put the piston on but now I know you said you used a new washer that comes with the kit so do I just get rid of the Old stock washer altogether and don't use it at all

[@rubencriviDT]

That eco buggy is looking hot and ready to rock!

[@treydaypnw]

That thing is sweet! 💪

[@Sonar9999]

Hello, do I need special parts if I want to ride the universals? The ball bearings are different. Could you please tell me the part numbers? Kind regards

[@donfitz69]

Great video. Just curious what is the battery connector you're using? Is that deans or something else?

[@AdamDrake]

It’s a Star connector which is basically a Deans.

[@donfitz69]

@@AdamDrake Thank you sir!

[@loctran2011]

is there a reason why ? i dont see anyone go back to plugs from bullet connector@@AdamDrake

[@broccli2007]

Awesome video! It's great to see all the little touches you put on your cars. On another note, what nitro stadium truck are you going to be running at hcrc?

[@frankbero7768]

Very nice setup, what collars are you using on the screws for your servo and motor plate?

[@1eightrcracing]

Thank you Adam

[@grconcepts4773]

I am very curious to see and hear the results

[@AdamDrake]

:)

[@eddiefinck416e]

Anodizing on that chassis looks a bit darker than mine , running change or something new? Love the new hobbywing g3 esc? So smooth!

[@jasonchavis6414]

Post a parts list for the upgrades please

[@MOONOVERMIAMI]

Hello great video information Adam

[@dizzychizzy1]

HW OTA walk through bY the Don… Can’t wait. 👍

[@davidm8584]

Which servo horn is that?

[@grantnelson3418]

Very cool. Thank you. Which center spur gear are you using ?

[@AdamDrake]

Mugen 44T.

[@jayreaves4952]

Who makes those carbon stone guards?

[@AdamDrake]

Protek RC, but I don't think they are available anymore. :(

[@edmundooliver7584]

what does ECO mean?

[@BlackThunderRC]

Will you be adding the cap pack to the ESC or just running without it ?

[@AdamDrake]

I've been running without them and it's been great! It won't hurt to use them, but they're intended for application with higher load and amp draw like drag racing.

[@Monkeigh7]

Hey Adam! Just recently got a MBX8R. Whats the difference between the XR8 pro G3 and the XR8 Plus g2s? Looking to get a motor/esc combo for it. Thank you for your time!

[@AdamDrake]

Hope all is well! I'm new to HOBBYWING but the XR8 G3 Pro is the latest 1/8th ESC and has some really nice new features for braking.

[@Monkeigh7]

Thank you so much for replying and thanks for the info. Ill be sure to be keep hobbywing on the radar for the esc/motor system. @@AdamDrake

[@jayreaves4952]

Does anyone know what Servo Horn that is?

[@AdamDrake]

Flash Point R/C
