Mugen MTC1 performance conversion kit

After a year of testing and racing, Mugen Seiki has released first information about their new performance conversion kit for the MTCC1 electric touring car. All of the new parts were used at the European Reedy Race of Champions, where all three prototype MTC1 ended up in the top 10 of the modified class. The prototype MTC1 was able to log some of the fastest lap times of the entire event, highlighting the capabilities of the new parts.

Icon RC TC7.2 aluminium chassis

Italian company Icon RC has announced their first competition chassis for the new Team Associated TC7.2 electric touring car. Made out of 7075 high-grade aluminium, the 2.0mm thick chassis was developed for the use on high bite surfaces as it offers better rotation and steering in such conditions thanks to its optimised dynamic flex. In addition the chassis is 13 percent lighter than the original aluminium chassis while the Icon-exclusive shape serves the purpose of reducing chassis scrub under braking and acceleration.

Xray T4’19 aluminium chassis series

Coming from Xray are three new aluminium chassis for the IFMAR World Championship winning T4’19 touring car. First up is the Worlds Edition extra-flex chassis that features the largest cut-outs, making for the most amount of flex which comes in handy on low to medium grip tracks. The chassis was used by Bruno Coelho to win the 2018 IFMAR World Championships. Next up is the flex chassis that also features herringbone-shaped cut outs, however these are smaller than on the extra-flex chassis for less overall twist and improved handling on medium to high-bite track conditions. Last but not least is the stiff aluminium chassis, a full-face affair for high to very high-bite track conditions. All chassis are made from high-quality 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium, they come black anodised for wear and looks and are designed to utilise the optional front chassis brace. The chassis make for an easier to drive car and more predictable handling in the respective track conditions and they are usable on carpet and asphalt tracks alike.
