Today on Roach RC, we delve into the world of the Mako mx8 buggy - a machine with a personality as unique as its quirks. The build process is not for the faint of heart, tailored for the seasoned builders with intricate details like washers and spacers. But fear not, for the build guide provided offers a lifeline, guiding you through the process like a trusty co-driver. While some areas may need attention, the MX8 shines in its precision engineering, boasting a fit and finish that rivals the best in the business.
Once assembled, the MX8 reveals its true colors on the track, offering a driving experience like no other. With features designed to make driving a breeze, this buggy hugs the corners with grace and stability. However, it's not all smooth sailing, as tight tracks may expose its Achilles' heel - a reluctance to rotate in hairpin turns. Yet, with a few adjustments to the KPI settings, this beast can be tamed to suit even the most aggressive driving styles.
Durability is a mixed bag, with soft shock shafts and brittle turnbuckles posing potential challenges. Parts support is decent, with options to source components directly from Mako or through service centers. When pitted against rivals like the Techno EB48 2.2 and Sparco F8E, the MX8 holds its ground with a blend of performance and community support. In the world of RC buggies, the Mako MX8 stands tall as a worthy contender, offering a driving experience that's as thrilling as it is unique.
