For the MTC2 series, Mugen have introduced these active shock towers for the front and rear of the car. This completely new concept shock tower eliminates the resistance from the shock absorber when the suspension is lowered, dramatically improving stability when driving in the bumps on the track, or on the curbs in the corner. It also improves the stability of the rear in small corners that enter at high speed and corners that require quick turning. The effects are more apparent when using softer tires.

Following the successful launch of the MTC2 electric touring car, Mugen Seiki have announced the MTC2 FWD. The kit is based off the MTC2 touring car and uses the same high-quality materials and parts. Ronald Völker was instrumental in the testing and development of the MTC2 FWD. The car has a mid-front motor layout and uses a lot of parts from the MTC2 electric touring car. The focus when designing and testing the MTC2 FWD was to get the best weight distribution along with reaching the weight limits for this class. Another focus was to maximise the number of interchangeable parts from the MTC2 to the MTC2 FWD which is key for racers, hobby shops, and dealers. The main chassis features multiple flex options as well as spots to mount additional weight while the one piece upper deck also offers multiple flex options as well as the possibility to use huge size pinions. The car comes standard with a 42gram front weight sitting under the front differential as well as a 85gram bumper weight with the possibility to add three additional 10gram weights. The rear of the car sports a body mount with horizontal body posts as well as vertical ones while the front comes with included body stoppers with additional spacers for use with FWD type bodyshells.
