The MTC3 represents a major evolution from the highly successful MTC2 and MTC2R platforms. Prototypes first competed in the 2024 World Championships, where both MTC3s entered advanced to the A Final, with Ronald Völker finishing 4th and Jacob Cruz 10th. Below is a list of features and details for the 1/10 electric touring car MTC3.
Features:
1.5mm Aluminum Chassis (A7075):
- The primary benefit of the 1.5mm aluminum chassis is improved stability through a lower center of gravity.
- Standard type screws can be used.
- The rear overhang is designed extremely short to minimize contact with the road surface.
Adjustable driveshaft height:
- - Enables constant use of the spur gear in its lowest position.
- Supports 80T to 90T spur gears.
- The smaller spur and pinion gears allow the heavy motor and ESC to be positioned closer to the car's center.
This reduces the motor and ESC's moment of inertia, improving handling performance.
Angled upper deck:
- Lowering the connection point with the motor mount reduces the impact of sudden torque fluctuations from the motor.
- Three deck thickness options (two included in kit) allow broad adjustment of chassis torsional characteristics to suit track conditions.
Shock towers:
- Mount directly to the bulkhead.
Select fixed or active mounting.
Super Short Shocks:
Significantly enhance vehicle handling through lower center of gravity and weight reduction.
F/R Body Posts:
- Front posts offer two width options.
- Rear includes three versions (vertical, two horizontal types) for selection.
- The rear body post includes a suspension up-travel limiter.
F/R Upper Arms:
- The newly designed F/R upper arms allow adjustment of camber and caster angles.
- Provides two body stop positions compatible with the body being used.
F Bumper Plate & Lightweight Bumper:
- The CFRP front bumper plate incorporates a suspension up-travel limiter.
- The new foam bumper, made thinner and lighter while maintaining necessary strength, improves agility.
