What is the Mayako Performance Community?
All Mayako customers are part of the Mayako Community but we also have the Mayako Performance Community (MPC) for customers who want more. MPC Members is for those who want to be involved in the development of the car and the brand; seeing behind the scenes information normally only reserved for Factory drivers.
Anyone can purchase the MPC Annual Membership and instantly receive benefits detailed below.
Pricing
Members can purchase discounted kits (known as “MPC” kits), with the option to select the parts which are included from the factory. This is the kit for those who love to tune and learn within the hobby, with more lightweight parts, carbon fibre and more adjustments.
Non-members can purchase the MX8 either directly from Mayako or through Local Service Centres. This is the car for everyone but with the same great performance as the MPC kit. Option parts are shared across the platforms.
For example, to purchase a single nitro and electric MX8 buggy:
MPC Member: $349 + (2 x $399) = $1147
Non Member: 2 x $599 = $1198
Members also receive ~20% discount on all spare parts.

Communication
All Mayako customers are encouraged to join the Mayako Discord Community. This is where technical support is available 24/7, either from Mayako staff or the Community. This can be both text channels or video chats via the dedicated channels.
If you have any issues or need assistance while trackside, the Community will be there to help you in real time!
When signing up for MPC Membership, customers are encouraged to fill out the “Discord Name” box to gain the correct access on the Mayako Discord Server. If your Discord name changes, please also change this on your International Store account.
Members gain access to more channels, giving areas to discuss “behind the scenes” topics such as car or brand development. This is also an area where Mayako provide the invites for the Monthly MPC Zoom meetings; with discussions on upcoming projects, detailed technical discussions and Q&As. All recorded MPC meetings are uploaded to the MPC playlist for rewatch at your leisure, with a dedicated page on the Mayako Wiki.
The Discord is a great place for discussions and getting to know the Community, but when storing information, a different format was needed.
Racecraft and more!
The Mayako Wiki is a Community led, knowledge base, available on all browsers! Mayako upload technical information about the cars and setups alongside tips collected from the Community. This is edited by Mayako and trusted members of the Community, ensuring that the information from the Discord is uploaded for ease of use.
The Interactive Setup Sheet provides an easy to navigate format to find the information required. Each option and tuning parameter has a page where the recommended setting and tuning windows are discussed. The Wiki is ever evolving from Community feedback, ensuring the direction is as required by the Community. If you find something on the Discord that you think could be useful for the Wiki, you can tag all Wiki Editors so it can be uploaded.
Members are also provided with the Invisible Speed Setup Matrix documentation to help them tweak their car trackside. This is within the Member only area of the Wiki. Members are encouraged to log into the Wiki with their Discord credentials to gain access to Member only content.
Introduction to the Mayako Community
When you purchase anything from Mayako, you are part of the Mayako Community! The order confirmation email from any Mayako store (EU/USA/International) will include a link to the Mayako Discord; where most communications occur. The QR code engraved on your MX8 chassis will also give you access to the Discord and the extensive information base for Mayako customers.
Instead of having a large “team”, Mayako strives for a worldwide community where everyone has a voice. There is a Mayako Factory Team and there is the community. Service Centres will create local communities within their area, but we are all a part of a wider group with similar interests and passion for Scale Motorsport. We encourage interaction and learning from different regions and cultures, as this is where the most is learnt.
Second hand purchases also benefit from the community by scanning the QR code on the chassis. This will take you to the my.mayako page which includes a link to the Mayako Discord. Alternately, you can find your local Service Centre who can help you get involved.
With this model, there is so much to gain for your racing program. You could purchase a car and run it as with any other brand, but there is so much more to Mayako!
The more you actively participate, the more you can gain!
