Mugen MTC1 Wiki:

MTC1 Manual on the Mugen Web Site.

Correction for the manual




The max/min tooth count of the spur and pinion combined.

64p = 127 to 164 total teeth


48p = 95 to 120 total teeth


People who have spare spur gears left over from other cars which they wish to use but can only utilize 2 of the 4 mounting holes, here's neat trick from MKAH to drill 2 more holes precisely in the spur gear:

1.Dismantle the Spur Holder and mount XRAY Spur with two screws.

2.If you have take a 3mm Top Setting Screw

3.Get the Top Screw in the first free thread to the Spur Holder from the other side until it touches the Spur a litle bit.
Make the same with the second free Thread.


4.Dismantle Top set Srew an the two screws witch holds the Spur on the Holder.
Now you see two marks absolutely central.


5. Take an 3mm Driller an Drill the holes at the marked places

6.Mount the Spur with the two old and two new holes on the Spur.


Spur Gears known to fit the gear holder with the correct hole pattern

1. Axon
2. Panaracer


Upper front arm hinge pin set screw tip (or any of the kit set screws):

When installing the set screw run the set screw in until you can see it come into the hinge pin gap. Back the screw out and make sure there is no flashing in the way and then the screw. Now slide the pin in and you should hit the pin and come to a dead stop. It will be a solid feel and not sloppy like it will not tighten which is caused by any loose plastic.

I haven't yet, I was going to and never got around to it. I even have some at home, I was going to measure them and see how close they where to the Mugen.

Anybody tried them?

Ill try the Tamiya ones... might be an option

Update. They are about .8mm shorter in height and arm length is a little shorter, but arm strength is more. No clearance issues, running regular upper arm configuration.

Good to know you don’t need to bust out the dremel to make them work. Last resort for sure. Hopefully if they come out with a new kit they’re redesign these. I’m sure there’s someone out there with a 3D printer that can make them solid

Curious to see what Mugen does when they release their mid motor car. Hope they put some effort into the on road program. Maybe they need Drake to get into on road so they support it more this time around. I’m looking to come back to a car of quality that wont make me sell my first born....lol. Any sneak peeks of the new car????

I had the privilege to race with Adam last year at our indoor carpet track he raced my friends MTC1 and he didn’t do too bad I’m sure if he had time to mess with the car he would have been a lot faster there’s a video on YouTube and I think is on the chat lounge if you search “Adam Drake”

I’m only looking at complete mid motor kits for next season. These conversions put these kits at 8th scale nitro prices....lol. Mugen may possibly be the most affordable and the best hidden gem if they correct a couple of things going forward.

Yes it match, but need a little modify. Much more stronger than Mugen.

What Slow77 said, should be a direct fit like the Tamiya ones...

Interesting approach with the split top deck though, I like that.
Two thumbs up for doing away with the battery tape slots as well. Maybe others will wake up and follow (you listening, Xray?).

Price it sensibly and you've got a customer here even if only for the heck of it.
very nice. Looks like it brings slightly more to the table than the standard touring car.

Thanks Tutrieu, I will try one next time I break one. The funny thing is I used to use these same Xray parts on my Yokomo DB7 in the past.
