MTC stands for Mini Touring Car. They are essentially scaled-down, high-performance versions of standard 1/10th scale radio-controlled touring cars. MTCs offer a fun, fast, and more affordable way to enjoy on-road RC racing.
MTC racing is an affordable entry into competitive RC. Chassis kits range from £100 to £400+, making it easier for new racers to get involved. There are also Sport and Pro versions available to suit different budgets and skill levels. With options for 2 or 4 wheel drive, shaft or belt drive, racers can find a setup that best matches their driving style. Popular manufacturers include Xpress, Carten and Schumacher
While traditional 1/10th scale touring cars are roughly 190mm wide, MTC chassis are scaled down to roughly 165mm wide with a shorter wheelbase (typically 210mm to 225mm), using smaller "M-Chassis" size wheels and rubber tyres.
