Produktinformation

1/10 R/C Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse (MB-01)

We are delighted to announce that our M-chassis series welcomes a brand new chassis.

The origin of M-chassis series history goes back to December 1994, and this series has been popular due to cost-effective kits with a wide choice of bodies, ease of maintenance and control for any users, great 2WD performance and rigidity.

The new MB-01 chassis continues that tradition, and allows six setups by choosing from three types of wheelbase, and front- or rear- wheel drive system. Its first body recreates the Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse which was a car developed with high level tune-ups based upon the compact 2-door Fiat 600. The muscular form had front and rear over fenders, a large radiator cover integrated with the front bumper, and horizontally-opened engine hood. A 982cc inline-4 engine capable of over 110hp underpinned its powerful performance.


Take a look at the model from another angle, showing off the small yet perfectly formed Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse.	Highlights on the front include a depiction of the chunky radiator/oil cooler, and metal-plated headlight rims.	Separately molded parts are used for the side mirrors, while windshield wipers are a sticker.

A rather unusual sight at the rear: the opened hood, which is also a separately molded part with its props.	The model also depicts parts of the engine for a super realistic look.	Silver color wheels are paired with front 55mm and 60mm radial rear tires.

About the Model

• This is a 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 371mm, width: 167mm, height: 141mm (tentative). Wheelbase: 209mm (S).
• The form of the Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse is recreated in lightweight polycarbonate.
• Body, blue (new color) stickers, and wheels are from Item 58465 (1/10 R/C Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse (M-05)).
• Radial tire size is different between front (55mm tires) and rear (60D tires) to render the different tire size of the actual car. (Item 58465 used 55mm slick tires for both front and rear.)
• Use Item 50568 M-Chassis Radial Tires or Item 53215 M-Chassis Slicks for front and 60D tires for rear when changing tires.

• The multi-purpose, 2WD MB-01 chassis gives choices of three types of wheelbase (*), and front- or rearwheel drive system. Six setups are available in total.
• Simply change attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front- and rearwheel drive; low or high motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars.
• Unitized sections such as motor mount and final gears facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance.
• The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers.
• While this is a 2WD model, multi-link suspension is compatible with tires featuring the same compound and rear tire with toe-in as 4WD models.
• Gear ratio: 5.83:1 (when using kit-standard 29T pinion gear)
• Many Hop-Up Option parts for M-chassis and TT-chassis cars can be used to fine-tune setup.


The compact MB-01 chassis. For this model, it is assembled with a short wheelbase: 210mm.	The servo is installed in the right-rear of the model and moves the steering linkage via a link rod.	The four-wheel double wishbone suspension uses symmetrical arms.

Coil sprung dampers come as standard, although you can upgrade them with M-Chassis aluminum dampers if you wish.	The motor mount is assembled as a unit and secured to the chassis using two screws.	The 4-bevel gear differential is the same as that on the TT-02; this chassis is compatible with TT-02 Hop-Up Option differentials.
