Retro Street Racer - Tamiya 58721 - 1/10 Fiat Abarth 1000TCR Berlina Corse MB-01 Chassis RC Car Kit  [58721]

Rediscover the M-Chassis spirit with the MB-01

Since its launch in December 1994, Tamiya's M-chassis series has been a favourite for hobbyists who value affordability, variety of bodies, and simple upkeep. The MB-01 continues that legacy by combining user-friendly assembly with multiple setup options for all skill levels.

Heritage and flexibility combined

The MB-01 chassis reflects Tamiya engineering aimed at adaptability. It supports six different setups through selectable wheelbase positions and the option to run either front- or rear-wheel drive. The debut body for this line is a faithful Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse, inspired by the compact and sporty Fiat 600.

Midship motor layout and easy drivetrain changes

This kit ships with a midship motor and a rear-wheel drive arrangement, and uses a smart conversion system so you can swap between front- and rear-wheel drive without removing the battery, motor, or radio gear. Adjustments to the final gear and steering linkage make the changeover straightforward, with both low and high motor positions available for rear drive.

Smooth handling from a simple suspension layout

The MB-01 uses a symmetrical 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with friction dampers to deliver predictable handling and stability. Its modular construction, with separate units for the motor mount and final gears, keeps assembly and routine maintenance quick and clear for beginners and experienced builders alike.

The Tamiya MB-01 chassis is well suited to hobbyists exploring different handling setups and body styles, providing authentic looks and straightforward build steps for customising your drive experience.
