This MB-01 Fiat Abarth 1000 comes with a factory painted body shell that takes away the stress of cleaning, prepping and painting the body.
Instead, you can admire the renowned Tamiya factory finish workmanship and focus on building the incredible MB-01 chassis.

This MB-01 features an incredible level of scale detail. The Fiat Abarth is a legendary rally car, and Tamiya have spared no expense in making sure that this model lives up to the name. 
With powerful over fenders, rear open engine hood, engine head and exhaust pipes, and much, much, more.

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.

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.
