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. Hara's Setup  Robert Pietsch's Latest Carpet Setup

I mean use the presumed stiffer lower aluminum plate but keep the stock top deck. Overall chassis stiffness should be higher vs using both stock plates.

I'd really like to see a race ready weight for one of these cars. They don't LOOK light. It sounds like there's a lot of things that are supported by bearings, which could potentially add extra weight (but could still be beneficial), as well as the beefy front end. I like the looks of this car, but can it get anywhere near the weight limit for the spec racers who don't roll around 50g over like some of the modified drivers like to?

I'm sure they forgot to think about weight when designing this car......
That's sarcasm by the way.

All I'm saying is I hope this car doesn't have that issue.

Getting down to 1350g with perfect balance and a big battery does require a light car. Obviously the electrics have a big effect - so many options these days especially with the battery. I like a big heavy battery but use pretty light electrics so I'll probably end up adding a lot on the left side to balance the car perfectly and end up over weight.

Interested to see how this car performs in blinky racing. I'm a little apprehensive about the 34T pulleys. Some will know what I'm talking about, another brand was suffering with 34T and since switched back to 40T. I'm usually quick to dive into getting a new car but i'm going wait for more feedback, mainly in the US market.

Would you kindly define measurably please. CG sits around the middle of the car, a heavier battery wouldn't lower CG, therefore LCG packs have lower height. The motor is also more centred so take into account you can't run a heavy battery (Pietsch was running a 6.4LCG).
About the pulleys, will refrain further comments as less teeth drag and lower CG and inertia were the most important criteria.

If the CG of the battery pack is lower than total CG of the car then it lowers the overall CG if the battery increases in weight and it's CG still remains lower than the overall CG. A lot of people underestimate the effect of the body on the overall CG and therefore it's higher than many racers think. It's particularly bad on VTA and USGT cars where the finished bodies are well over 100g and the CG of the body is way above the overall CG. It's such a drastic effect that even the paint and stickers affect it. I have actually done the CG calculations on WGT chassis several years ago when I had traction rolling issues. To define measurable - I was able to the lower the overall CG by 4.13mm (height from grade went from 29.77mm to 25.64mm) mostly by changing the body/paint/stickers/body trimming. Plus a little with added weight (7g of lead on the chassis lowered the overall CG of the WGT car by 0.26mm). Of course the effect of the body is less in TC especially if you are using a lightweight shell. Back to the heavier battery pack in a TC - I'm fairly confident that CG of the battery pack is quite a bit lower the overall CG of the whole car - mostly due to the effect of the body, but also the motor CG which is much higher. And there is still a lot parts with CG's above the CG of the battery: the body posts, shocks, shock towers, diffs, wheel/rims, axles etc. It's very deceptive to look at until you really look at.
