Stiffen the Front of Your Mugen MTC3

The Factory Pro O-MCP021 Graphite Bumper Upper Plate is made to match the Mugen MTC3 chassis with precise tolerances. Constructed from quality graphite, it reduces unsprung weight and raises front end rigidity for more predictable handling.

Why Model Drivers Choose Graphite

Graphite is favoured for its combination of low weight and high stiffness, delivering improved steering fidelity without a big weight penalty. Many racers fit graphite plates to get sharper turn-in and steadier mid corner behaviour.

Installing the Plate on Your Chassis

Installation uses the stock MTC3 mounting points and is straightforward for experienced hobbyists. Make sure bolt heads are seated evenly and check alignment after first test runs to confirm correct setup.

Is graphite suitable for everyday club racing?

Yes, graphite is commonly used in club and national level racing for its predictable stiffness, though you should inspect it regularly for wear or edge damage.

Will this change my car's handling a lot?

Expect a noticeable tightening of steering response and a firmer front end feel. Adjust suspension and front roll settings to dial in the new behaviour.

Do I need special screws or washers?

Stock hardware usually fits, but using wider washers helps distribute load on the graphite and reduces risk of crush around screw holes.

How should I care for the plate after a crash?

Clean debris and check for hairline fractures. Replace if there are any signs of splitting or delamination to avoid sudden failure on track.
