RC Maker MTC2 SlimFlex chassis & roll centre shim plates

RC Maker have released their new MTC2 SlimFlex chassis & roll centre shim plates. Building on the foundation of their SlimFlex chassis range they believe they have optimised the flex to improve the performance of the car which is reflected in both feeling and lap-times. One major change on the SlimFlex chassis is the removal of the “through” spool and diff cutouts. They have pocketed these only 1mm deep, which provides a more rigid front and rear. This directs the flex back the the centre of the chassis for more consistent handling. RC Maker have also releases new easy to change roll centre shim plates for the MTC2. Simply loosen the screws, slide one plate out and another plate in and tighten. The set includes 0.5mm and 1mm plates for front and rear, meaning you can adjust anywhere from 0.5 to 1.5mm depending on how many, and which plates you use.
