These chassis are made using 4 MM thick 7075 aircraft grade materials and clear anodized.

use of this material greatly increases the overall life of the chassis.

we have tested and tweeked these chassis to provide the racers a top notch chassis that will perform very well on all surfaces.

This model is made for the tracks with a high wear charastic like the tracks we have out West and up north and in Canada

It is important to note that these skid plates fit flush to the bottom of the chassis and will not effect the droop settings and cause you to

scrub speed on the landings.

FEATURES:

We have made the diff cutout thru which will allow you to lower the cg of the center diff by 2 mm and added material back to this area of the chassis to stiffen up this area. This should help decrease the possibility of broken spur gears due to chassis flex.

We have also reworked the motor area to and deleted the stock motor mount and replaced it with a rock solid 3 pc quick change mount design that we have using on the Mugen for years. we have also pocketed the motor mount area 1 mm deep.

this along with the Mugen mount being 1/2 mm shorter than the stock mount lowers the CG of the motor by 1.5 mm.

An added benefit of the is that now you can now use about any starter box on the market designed for 1/8 scale cars.

We have also included (2) 3mm counter sunk holes at the rear of chassis just in front of the rear diff.

these are for our optional weight kit to increase rear end traction on looser tracks.

We have adopted this model so that if you wish you can cut off the front bumper to help the vehicle not to get upset on landings
and increase ground clearance.

front and rear steel replaceable skid plate.
It is advised you replace the skid plate when the edge of the skid plate wears down to 1 mm.
This will make the chassis last much longer.
hardened droop stops to prevent chassis wear and droop changes.

INCLUDED IN KIT:

skid plates:

m2c 6501 (front and rear skid plate)

m2c 6502 (front rear skid plate)

motor mount: m2c 5230

OPTIONAL PARTS:

optional brass weights for rear of chassis m2c 5298

m2c 5231 top rails for quick change motor mount.

Do you still need the center diff mount spacers, now that the chassis has a hole for the center spur gear?

XT8Truggy - No you don't need any of the center diff mount spacers

Thanks I thought that would be the case. But I thought I'd just ask.;)

That is correct but also keep this on mind
with the new motor mount
there will be no rear mount option

I'm glad you deleted that option. I never used the rear engine mount option.
Closing up the flywheel gap will help a lot with chassis flex.

XT8Truggy - I got one of the first of these chassis Friday afternoon and put this chassis on and ran it at our club race yesterday. I missed the 1st qualifier due to a function with my daughter so I had basically no practice. I qualified 5th in the A-main and finished 2nd in the A-main. I liked the way the chassis felt and liked the lowered CG in the 2 areas along with the one piece quick change motor mount. I did make a few changes to the kit box setup as I ran the heats and main event:
1. Went to the 6 hole 1.5 mm shock pistons and set them up with more pack
2. Moved the shock location on the tower out 1 more hole
3. Added the M2C Weight in front of the rear diff
I liked the stiffer chassis (had no spur issues and we have a few big jumps that launch your truggy in the air), as I felt it reacted quicker and made the truggy faster in the corners and especially the 180 turns, but you may need to tweak your setup a little. I have a few other things that I plan to try this next weekend if we don’t get rained out.

Well i had a chance to run the new M2C Racing chassis on the weekend and must say it went together like a dream, every hole just lined up perfect, removing the spacers from the centre diff mounts and having the lower centre of gravity is a huge plus, the 3 piece motor mount also gives you a much easier in and out option for the motor which is fantastic, the car felt really planted and i managed to TQ for the day in a small field and then go on to have a win in the finals with some great lap times against my stock chassis set up on my home track, it was a very windy day and running the proline body i found myself floating while in the air so i think the lap times could have been even better with the stock tekno body fitted, looking at the chassis side by side with the stock one it also looks as if the front kick up in the M2C chassis is just a little less than stock too by eye.

Huge home run Mitch and cant wait to see more of these on the track and what set up changes people make having a chassis that does not flex as much as the stock tekno chassis.

I thought it was a good idea to just file the bolt head that is pictured below so that it does not catch the starter box wheel if the car is not set up perfect on the starter box as i could see the wheel catching it, so a quick file to match the chassis curves and problem solved.

I thought while i had the camera out i would share my centre diff set up after blowing the V1 spur on the cars first run and then 2 V2 spurs i ended up installing a xray centre diff completly with xray out drives and xray vented brake rotors that i have been running for 9 months with no issues at all, few shims needed to take up the slack, after having a few tekno brake pads tear off during longer mains and having brake fade i ended up just installing the kyosho brake pads and brake bolts and have had no issues at all and the truggy stops on a dime with no brake fade during long mains as pictured below

Nice touch with the M2C Racing etching on the chassis too
