Fenix Racing MTC1 aluminium options

New from Fenix Racing for the recently released Mugen MTC1 comes this new aluminium flex chassis. Following a similar design, the chassis shape follows the angled battery, thus preventing the front of the chassis from scrubbing on the ground. To better tune the rear of the car a stiffener has been included to be fixed to the lower chassis. On the upper part of the car they released two different upper decks, the short one is meant to work with the short carbon fibre one that comes with the kit, while the long one will be mounted in a more conventional way. Both upper decks allow the driver to tune the flexibility of the rear, also providing one extra set of holes to fix the rear end. Also available is fan holder able to carry both a 30mm or 40mm cooling fan and last but not least, is a 7075 brace for the motor mount.
