Overview

Please 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, which has been popular among users of all levels since its inception in December 1994. The series is known for its cost-effective kits, a wide variety of bodies to choose from, and ease of maintenance and control.

The all-new MB-01 chassis offers a continuation of the popular M-chassis series by providing cost-effective kits with easy maintenance and control for users of all levels. With the ability to choose from three types of wheelbases and a front or rear-wheel drive system, the MB-01 allows for six unique setups. Additionally, it comes with the option to recreate the Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse, a compact 2-door car that was developed with high-level tune-ups.

Features

  • The MB-01 chassis is 2WD and offers three options for wheelbases and front- or rear- wheel drive system
  • The attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage can be changed to switch between front- and rear- wheel drive
  • The rear-wheel drive cars can choose a low or high motor position
  • Motor mount and final gears sections are designed to facilitate assembly and maintenance
  • The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension has a symmetrical structure and friction shocks
  • Multi-link suspension is compatible with tyres featuring the same compound and rear tyre with toe-in as 4WD models, despite being a 2WD model
  • It features a gear ratio of 5.83:1 (when using kit-standard 29T pinion gear)
  • The model has 55mm diameter front tyres and 60mm diameter rear tyres, creating an authentic car stance

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!

Three Section Steering System

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.

Double Wishbone Suspension

Double Wishbone Suspension

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.

Easy Maintenance

Easy Maintenance

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.

Centre Motor Mounting

Centre Motor Mounting

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.

Quick Battery Swaps

Quick Battery Swaps

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.

TT-02 Differentials

TT-02 Differentials

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.
