- Side Balance -

I'm going to explain which left/right weight balance does make sense to use on the MTC2 by choosing various LRP batteries no matter for what class.
It's convertable to most other brand of cars as well.
Of course it depends on weight of the other electronic components on the left side and if you‘re looking to achieve an overall weight of +- 1320g for racing, but just wanted to give some inspiration

MTC2 Option Weights for Battery Side:

  • A2424 Battery Shorty Weight 2x52g
  • A2425 Battery Weight 2x20g (can be also used individually/combination with A2406A-B)
  • A2705 Motor Mount 12g - also to be used as battery stopper (with shims to move further outside)

Additionally, you may move your motor further out with shims between motor and motor mount.


You don't have to run both standard battery holders or 2x20g battery weights at same time, you can also mix them to have influence also on front-rear weight balance, not only left-right
