ETS - Apeldoorn

Making the trip to Apeldoorn all the way from California (USA), Jacob Cruz is running Mugen's new MTC-3 touring car at the AMCA track. Jacob made a big impact onto the scene when he qualified for the A-Main at the 2024 IFMAR worlds in Bakersfield where he was the second fastest Mugen Seiki driver behind Ronald Völker. The ETS in Apeldoorn is the first time for Jacob to travel to Europe and he is really enjoying the trip together with his mum and dad. We are happy to have the Cruz family racing with us this weekend and we hope that they will enjoy their time at the Cayote Euro Touring Series!

The MTC-3 of Jacob Cruz is featuring a new steel chassis from Mugen Seiki which will be available in the future as well to further lower the centre of gravity and to optimize the cars handling on certain track conditions. Jacob has installed a titanium screw set from his US based sponsor 1up Racing (greetings to Randy Caster) as well as a 1up motor cooling fan and fan shroud.

On the electronic side, Jacob is rocking a Hobbywing Combo (4.5T Motor) together with Gens Ace batteries, a Sanwa M17 radio, and the actual Power HD GTS-2 servo. The car is topped by a Speciale body from Xtreme Aerodynamics which is equipped with some state of the art body stiffeners too.
