MXLR MTC3 FlexBumper

Max Machler’s MXLR brand has added the Mugen Seiki MTC3 to its offering of 3D printed FlexBumpers. Weighing 9.5 grams, it is printed with thermoplastic polyurethane for the optimal strength and flexibility and matches the original MTC3 footprint but with a lower overall profile. Over a foam bumper the advantages of a FlexBumper are it absorbs hits better and does not transfer them as much into the chassis structure. More robust and sturdy, it always goes back to original shape and don’t drag on the floor after a crash.
