Mugen Seiki | MTC-3 1/10 Touring Car

Japanese manufacturer Mugen Seiki previewed the new MTC-3 electric touring car last month ahead of the 2025 TITC (Thailand International Touring Car Championship), and today, the details of this new car were officially announced.

The MTC-3 is an upgrade to the MTC-2 and MTC-2R platforms, with its prototype first debuting at the 2024 IFMAR World Championship, where it performed excellently in its inaugural race, with both MTC-3 entries advancing to the A final group, Ronald Volker finishing 4th and Jacob Cruz finishing 10th!

The MTC-3 features an entirely new design. Only the drive shafts, front straight axle, differential, and drive belts from the MTC-2R remain; all other components have been redeveloped to enhance handling, adjustability, and lap speed.

MTC-3 Main Features

Chassis

1.5mm aluminum chassis, suitable for asphalt and carpet tracks.
Uses only standard screws, with no need for additional special screws.
The chassis provides a wider range of torsional rigidity adjustments to accommodate various track conditions.
Features a low center of gravity design (lowered by 0.5mm and 0.7mm, respectively), enhancing cornering performance.
Optimized chassis contour reduces the possibility of bottoming out and increases ground clearance, eliminating the need for additional carbon fiber chassis options.

Suspension System

New carbon fiber lowers arms enhance rigidity and durability.
Optimized shock and upper arm angle adjustments, no shims needed, making adjustments faster and more convenient.

Motor Mount

New aluminum motor mount optimizes the power transmission structure.
Adjustable center shaft height to accommodate different drive needs.
Optimized weight distribution enhances overall vehicle balance.

Upper Deck

New carbon fiber upper deck optimizes overall chassis rigidity.
Supports the removal of the upper servo support plate, simplifying adjustments and maintenance processes.
The differential can be quickly removed without disassembling other parts; just remove the rear upper deck to replace it.
The new upper deck fixing method enhances stability and handling feedback.

Shock System

Shock towers are directly fixed to the main body without additional accessories (fixed or movable modes selectable).
New short-stroke shock lowers the center of gravity and optimizes geometric structure.
New ultra-short shock springs provide richer tuning options.
The shock system is lightweight, reducing overall vehicle weight and improving dynamic response.

Body Post

Optimized body mounting method makes body fixing more convenient.
The front body post supports 2 mounting distances, simplifying the body preprocess.
The rear body post offers 3 mounting options (horizontal, vertical, and additionally mounting to the rear wing supports).
The rear suspension features adjustable upper stroke limiters, included in the MTC-3 kit.

Other Upgrades

Body support components enhance body stability.
New upper arm design uses 6mm ball heads for increased stability and durability.
Two body positioning points to accommodate various body designs.
Lightweight crash foam, and the carbon fiber upper crash plate includes adjustable suspension stroke limiters.
