About the Mayako MX8-25 Limited Edition
Limited Edition
The Mayako MX8-25 1/8 Off-Road Competition Nitro Buggy Kit (Limited Edition) is engineered for maximum performance, blending stability, simplicity, and adjustability into a high-caliber racing platform. Every component is strategically positioned to allow for optimal cooling, flex, and ease of maintenance. The innovative floating servo mount allows for quick removal with just two screws, while optional shorter engine and throttle servo mounts enable symmetrical flex tuning. With its uniquely shaped chassis, designed to enhance stability on demanding tracks, the MX8-25 ensures a balanced and controlled driving experience. Additionally, the electronics are easily accessible from above or below, making adjustments and maintenance seamless. These features make the MX8-25 a truly refined competition machine, built to deliver consistent, race-winning performance.
The Limited Edition 2025 MX8-25 comes fully loaded with premium hop-ups, providing racers with all the essential upgrades in a single package. It includes upgraded KPI-.5/Caster 2 hubs for enhanced steering response, and 2.3/2.6 anti-roll bars for superior suspension tuning. The drivetrain benefits from 43/13 internal gearing and 91mm universal rear driveshafts, paired with 5mm front and 6mm rear wheel hexes for precise handling and traction. Lightweight wheel nuts, aluminum dogbones, titanium turnbuckles, and carbon fiber enhancements throughout the chassis improve durability and reduce weight. A carbon long-link rear shock tower, carbon A-D block plates, and a black "Wing of David" 2.0 wing further refine aerodynamics and performance, making this Limited Edition version a top-tier choice for serious racers looking for the ultimate competition-ready buggy.
Drivetrain & Suspension
The suspension and drivetrain of the MX8-25 are designed to provide exceptional handling and tuning capabilities. The front suspension comes standard with stable KPI-1 hubs, offering a traditional pillow-ball feel, while optional KPI-.5 hubs provide a sharper steering response akin to a C-hub design. Adjustable knuckle height, steering link positioning, and upper arm length allow for fine-tuned cornering characteristics. The powerful tuning aid of bump steer adjustment enhances mid-to-exit corner steering performance with the simple addition of shims. The drivetrain features steel skid plates, a fixed-height A-block for added strength, and optional diff height adjustment for precise tuning. The stock low-diff setting ensures smooth and controlled handling, making it easy to fine-tune the car for various track conditions.
Chassis
Built for durability and longevity, the MX8-25's chassis incorporates key design elements to withstand the rigors of competitive racing. Captured screw-type hinge pins provide a stronger suspension assembly while allowing for effortless maintenance, enabling the quick removal of arms and diffs without dismantling the entire suspension setup. Steel skid plates on both the front and rear significantly enhance the chassis lifespan by reducing wear and tear from rough track surfaces. The inclusion of carbon fiber reinforcement plates in key structural areas further improves rigidity while keeping the weight down. With a carefully engineered balance of strength, flex, and ease of maintenance, the MX8-25 stands as a resilient and reliable racing machine built to excel in high-stakes competition.
