Im running the MMM and 2650kv on 3s 14/46 indoor and 16/46 outdoor and its so nice and smooth and quiet, doesnt sound like the AE or Losi chainsaws running around the track. Im in the southwest US so our outdoor tracks are sandy and loamy for the most part and this thing is just sooooo dialed.

Not a very good pic was taken with my phone on the way out the door to the track, paint still smelled at this point, lol. I was too excited to wait.

any car that sounds like a chainsaw does not have their gearing meshes right.

....or is made by associated Actually it may not be that they sound any louder than other previous 1/8 electrics its just that the mugen is really quiet.




Pic below is with the castle electronics installed, i have since switched to a Tekin rx8 and 2250 motor, still on 3s just went up to a 16t pinion. Still brutally fast and just tons more control (drift it through the turns with less traction). Still my favorite thing to drive, EVER.

Does anyone have experience in driving this compared to say other E-Buggies out there now such as RC8Be, 8ight-E etc...? How does the ECO handle compared o them?
Im going to pick something up soon as I decide.

I only driven the HPI Vorza before my ECO and this is no comparison... The ECO drives very well out of the box! 2 vids from today (my 2nd run with de ECO and still testing)

That sux I have a SMC 5200 and it will fit with body pins on but the body sits on an angle due to the battery and would majorly wear the paint. May have to try different battery

In the right hands all of those buggies including the mugen are great. But the mugen is probably the best out of the box.

Default Mugen Eco
Still in the works of setting my eco up Anyone have any recommendations on a body that won't conflict with wires, and can someone recommend a good custom painter?

Thank you

Hi falks,

few pics of my brand new Eco. Had a first quick run in the street yesterday. I was positively surprised by how silent the car is compared to the other 1/8 electric buggies.
