Closer look at the flex options on the motor mount of our MTC1 touring car!
We have the option to use a total of 5 screws to mount it to the chassis and additional to that we can connect the center chassis stiffener (or center weight) to the motor mount as well.
We recommend you to test all these flex options on your hometrack to learn how the car reacts to the changes and which feeling you like the most.
Sometimes these small changes have a big impact on the track and can bring you the last few missing percents to make your car feeling perfect!
As it is very difficult to tell you a kind of a "general rule" for the flex settings on the motor mount we are pointing out some informations on the pictures below where you can see some of the possible flex settings of the MTC1.
Flex settings are always very sensitive to handle but they can be changed really quickly and it is easy to try them all in a short amount of time at the racetrack!
NOTE: The effects of changing the flex on your motor mount are very track specific.
Conditions like the temperature, traction, condition of the track surface and the brand of tires are all having some kind of influence - go and try the settings by yourself and you can feel the cars reactions in the best way!
All Screws in use:
That is the most stiff setting and will have as less flex as possible. This setting will only work good on smooth tracks with super high traction as it will give a lot of rotation to the car and prevent the car from slowing down to much in corners. Car will feel very reactive and will not be super easy to drive!
Front 4 Screws in use:
Can be used in different conditions as it provides a little more flex in the rear section while still rotating very fast in tight corners! The car will handle bumps a little better now!
Front 3 Screws in use:
This setting will give you a car with the feeling of a very planted rear end (rear able to flex more) while the car still remains reactive and good in fast direction changes due to the flex point moved more to the front. The car can handle bumps really good.
A very solid setting which seems to be a good starting setup with still enough initial steering!
Only 2 Center Screws in use:
Allows the chassis to flex maximum from side to side! Good flex setting for tracks with very long and fast sweeping corners!
Center Stiffener:
We found out that this setting is working very good in almost every condition from low to high grip. Use only one screw to hold the stiffener (or weight) in place. The small setscrew can be used in another hole as well to prevent the part from moving around. This setting is not influencing the overall flex at all. Most of the time we don’t use a button head screw to connect the weight to the motor mount!
