The M-chassis family, first released in December 1994, earned a reputation for low cost, wide body compatibility, and easy servicing. The MB-01 upholds that heritage while adding a modular layout designed for different driving preferences.
The MB-01 offers six different configurations via varied wheelbase positions and selectable front- or rear-wheel drive. The launch body is a scale Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse, drawing on the compact racing pedigree of the Fiat 600.
This chassis comes configured with a mid motor and rear-wheel drive, yet its design allows conversion to front-wheel drive without taking out the battery pack, motor, or radio equipment. Final gear and steering linkage adjustments enable the switch, and rear drive can use either low or high motor placement.
Equipped with a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and friction dampers, the MB-01 delivers reliable handling. The unitised motor mount and final gear sections reduce build complexity and make upkeep easier for newcomers and seasoned builders alike.
As a flexible and approachable chassis, the MB-01 is a solid pick for builders who want to experiment with drivetrain layouts and wheelbase tuning while keeping the build process simple.
