MXLR has extended its FlexBumper production line with addition of a model for the Mugen MTC2/MTC2R 1:10 Electric Touring Car. MXLR FlexBumpers are 3D printed with thermoplastic polyurethane for the optimal strength and flexibility. Over foam bumpers they absorb hits better and doesn’t transfer them as much into the chassis structure. More robust and sturdy, it always goes back to original shape and don’t drag on the floor after a crash. For the Mugen MTC2 / MTC2R it matches the original footprint, but with a lower overall profile as a direct replacement for the kit foam. The lower overall profile helps to keep the weight in an acceptable range. There are two MX logos on the backside to proof the originality. In terms of weight comparison, the MXLR FlexBumper is ~11,4g versus the original Kit Bumper at ~8,7g.
