Mugen Seiki is excited to announce the new MTC-3 electric touring car kit. The MTC-3 is an evolution of the highly successful MTC-2 and MTC-2R platform. The prototype was first raced at the 2024 IFMAR World Championship, where the two MTC-3’s entered in the event both qualified for the A-Main final in its first event with Ronald Volker finishing 4th and Jacob Cruz finishing 10th.

The MTC-3 is coming along with a complete new design with the only parts coming from the MTC-2R being drive shafts, spool, diff, and drive belts. The MTC-3 features a 1.5mm aluminum chassis which will work great on asphalt and carpet. The topdeck design is unique and the short shocks are rounding out a new beautiful new suspension package. The MTC3 features improved handling, tuning, and lap times!
