Mugen MBX6 ECO – A Real Hybrid

More articles by »
Written by: Derek Buono

Hybrid cars are bridging a technology gap, and the new Mugen MBX6 ECO isn’t. The electric car has been here for years, but this is Mugen’s first step away from Nitro and the result is now in our office. We’ll be ripping up dirt with mega watt motors in the VRC_004. We didn’t even wait for UPS to bring this to our door. Derek put on a brown shirt and drove to Mugen USA and picked up the kit personally. Now that is service!
