Classic Rally Reborn with the Opel Kadett GT/E

This 1/10 assembly kit captures the spirit of 1970s rallying, recreating the Opel Kadett GT/E body with attention to scale detail and period styling. Built on the flexible MB-01 chassis, the model blends vintage looks with practical hobbyist features for collectors and active drivers alike.

MB-01 Chassis - Flexible Setup Options

The MB-01 layout is engineered for adaptability, offering three selectable wheelbase positions and changeable front or rear-wheel drive modes. Builders can position the motor low or high in rear-wheel drive to tune weight distribution and handling for different surfaces.

On-Road Rally Performance and Fitment

The Kadett's polycarbonate body keeps weight down while providing robust appearance. With a 239mm long wheelbase and 60mm tyres, the chassis delivers predictable stability for on-road and light rally use. Required items to complete the build include a 2-channel radio, steering servo, ESC, and a suitable battery pack and charger.
