View Tamiya MB-01 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint RC Rally Car Electric 2WD 1/10 Scale KitPlease Note:
This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.
The MB-01 is the latest addition to the M-chassis series, popular among users of all levels since its inception in December 1994. The series is known for cost-effective kits, a wide variety of bodies, and ease of maintenance and control.
The MB-01 chassis offers three wheelbase options and a choice of front or rear-wheel drive, providing six unique setups. In this iteration, the MB-01 uses a mid wheelbase configuration with a rear motor and rear-wheel drive (MR) setup, on top of which sits the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA.
Born in 1965, the Giulia Sprint GTA was a lightweight, high-performance racing version of the Giulia Sprint GT, limited to just 500 units. It achieved class champion status multiple times in the European Touring Car Championship during the late 1960s.
Note
This kit comes without an Electronic Speed Control. The polycarbonate body shell is completely unpainted and may require body post holes to be drilled. Only use polycarbonate-safe paint such as the Tamiya PS series — standard paints will not adhere and may damage the body shell's surface.
The MB-01 chassis is built with performance and customisability in mind. The MB-01 has a highly adjustable platform that's perfect for a variety of driving styles and can be adjusted to a wide range of wheelbase options, 209mm for short, 224mm for medium, and 239mm for long.
Additionally, you can set this versatile chassis up in a front wheel drive or rear wheel drive setting, making the MB-01 one of the most customisable machines!
The three-section steering system, operated by a long link rod connected to a rear-mounted servo, provides precise and responsive steering control for confident handling on a wide range of terrains.
The double wishbone suspension, with its symmetrical suspension arms, provides balanced handling and predictable performance. This design ensures consistent response and control, allowing you to hit the apex everything time.
Maintenance is a breeze thanks to the MB-01's unitised motor mount. Secured with just two screws, it allows for quick and easy access to the motor for adjustments or upgrades.
The rear left mounted motor delivers power directly to the rear wheels via a driveshaft, providing a classic rear-wheel-drive driving experience with fast and responsive acceleration and exciting handling.
Additionally, this central motor mounting position creates better weight bias.
The MB-01 chassis utilises the same durable 4-bevel differential gear as the TT-02 chassis, making access to replacement parts much easier. For those seeking further customisation, the differential can be upgraded with optional TT-02 ball differentials or oil-filled gear differentials.
Designed for hassle-free battery replacement, the MB-01 features an innovative flip-up battery holder. This clever design allows you to quickly swap out batteries without any fuss, keeping the action going.
