It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/8 4WD truck class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 1800–2300 kV near 13.97. On the MBX8T ECO's stock 46T spur that is about 15T for 1800–2300 kV. Tight tracks gear down, open tracks gear up. For a starting pinion matched to your motor, use the So Dialed Pinion Recommender with the MBX8T ECO selected.
What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the Mugen Seiki MBX8T ECO?
The MBX8T ECO has an internal ratio of 4.6:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 4.6. With the stock 46T spur, a 12T pinion gives an FDR of 17.63 and a 18T gives 11.76.
How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the Mugen Seiki MBX8T ECO?
46 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.

The kit springs are 75mm 1.5mm x 7.5T (#E0574) front, 86mm 1.5mm x 7.75T (#E0578) rear. Stiffer springs suit high grip and big jumps; softer springs add grip on slick or bumpy tracks.
What diff fluid does the Mugen Seiki MBX8T ECO come with?
The kit diff fluid is 10,000 cst front, 10,000 cst center, 7,000 cst rear. Thicker front adds steering on power; thicker center sends more drive rearward; thicker rear stabilizes the car under throttle.
