Carten M210 series front bumper

Carten RC have announced the release of their new large foam front bumper for the M210 series of MTC chassis. The most voluminous yet, the bumper is ideal for touring car body shells with a longer front overhang, doing away with the need to use additional foam pieces to bolster up the body in order to prevent vibrations and improve the aerodynamic efficiency. The touring bumper adds to the already existing sedan medium and hatchback small front foam bumpers.
