About the MX8E-26 1/8 Buggy
Community-Driven Race Design
The Mayako MX8E-26 is built from years of community-driven testing and refinement, creating a buggy platform focused on balance, confidence, and speed. Its high-KPI front suspension delivers predictable steering and excellent corner control, making the car easy to push hard on demanding tracks while still remaining forgiving for newer racers.
Adjustable Chassis Setup
Designed with flexibility in mind, the MX8E-26 supports both shorty and standard LiPo battery configurations with adjustable mounting positions for fine-tuning weight distribution. The stable chassis layout improves cooling, accessibility, and overall handling consistency, giving drivers a highly adaptable platform for different track conditions and driving styles.
Precise Suspension Tuning
The refined suspension package combines aluminum shock towers, optimized upper link geometry, multiple roll bar options, and hard-coated emulsion shocks for precise tuning capability. Rear differential height adjustment, smooth rear CVD driveshafts, and updated shock stand-offs work together to provide plush suspension action, improved traction, and consistent performance over rough terrain.
Durable Race-Ready Engineering
Built for competitive racing durability, the MX8E-26 features soft suspension arms, screw-type hinge pins, and vibration-damped electronics mounting for long-lasting reliability. Lightweight bodywork, balanced drivetrain gearing, and durable driveline components create a buggy that delivers smooth power transfer, excellent grip, and dependable performance straight out of the box.

Haven’t ran her yet, great quality, looks to be solid. Easy to build and setup, great build guides available and endless information through the community. MayakoWiki is awesome, the Discord is filled with years of information. Honestly, this is the future of 8th scale racing, Mayako is doing it right at the moment, and for the price it can’t be beat. I’m going to start running her next weekend, I’ll report back after my initial race weekend. ?
