drivetrain parts mainly. battery weights are different if I remember correctly. The diff is the same incase you had extras.

Cool. Thx.

Not a lot of parts crossover from the old kit. This is a good video on the MTC3.

The driveshaft and diff is the same as the R...Not the original MTC2 just fwiw

Thanks!

Thanks EA!

Also the shorty battery weights are the same but the normal battery hooks for long packs are not.

Cool, good to know.

Kits didnt last long....came and gone in about an hour.

Did you save one for yourself?😉

Been a Mugen dealer for 20+ years now. Took a break from racing off-road for a while, but now that I'm back racing again and running on-road, we will have the MTC3 kits, parts and option parts in stock soon. :)

The new car looks amazing and i'm a fan of mugen TC's but when i look @ the setupsheets, it looks very strange to setup, not like a typical setupsheet, i don,t understand the logic, that's the only thing i'm not pulled the trigger to buy this car.

What parts looks strange?

Has anyone noticed that you can't remove the bumper easily as it goes up through the front arm. Seems an odd choice, I remove mine for cleaning, roll centre adjustment etc.

Also, I've noticed that on the setup sheets, they run higher roll centres. Does anyine know if the A2173f and rear version will be coming in different thicknesses

Yeah i also found the layout of theses setup sheets a bit cluttered and overwhelming at first. But with nearly everything, when you look at it twice and you know what you are looking for it becomes second nature.


As far as i know there are currently no different parts to A2173F/A2173R. But increasing the rollcenter is no problem, just put additional shims between the part and the ball and use a longer screw if necessary.
It would be interesting when going lower RollCenter than the tickness of A2173F/A2173R. I didn't measure it while building but my guess would be it is 1.5 mm or 2.0 mm thick. These distances of the ball above the chassis seem to be what nearly every TC is using.
(Not factoring in the geometry of the pivoball itself, some have different necks under the actual "ball")

I havent seen a setup sheet for current TC Platforms that use lower Rollcenter Shims under the arms for a long time. Only if it was a "experimental" setup because of strange conditions or tires which required strange measures.
And most of the times these setups weren't super useful, because of these strange conditions. Or the guys uploading it weren't happy with it either but was their last setup iteration.
