Mugen Seiki lead driver Ronald Völker is rocking his MTC-3 touring car with great success in the 2026 carpet season. He won many races in the last couple of months, including ETS RD4 in Daun. Ronald`s MTC-3 is equipped with a prototype steel chassis from Mugen Seiki, as well as some nice 1up Racing uprgrade parts such as titanium screws, turnbuckles, and body stopper screws.
Since almost 20 years, Völker is powered by the “Blue is Better” brand LRP. This weekend, he is debuting a new LRP X23 Modified Motor which will become available in 2026 together with the also new FlowX 2 speed controller which he can use without a cooling fan (on carpet tracks). Ronald`s battery of choice is a powerful LRP 5200mAh full-length stick pack with a very low centre of gravity (LRP battery weight plate underneath).
The car is steered by a Highest L250 servo in combination with a FlySky Noble NB4 Pro+ radio and is topped off with a Lens Bodies Ghibli 3.0 body shell which Völker describes as feeling very good on track.
