MB-01 Chassis Built for Setup Variety

The Tamiya 47492-60A Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse pairs classic race styling with a chassis that encourages experimentation. Evolving from the M-chassis line since 1994, the MB-01 gives modelers multiple configuration options so you can dial in handling preferences and try different drive layouts.

Classic Touring Roots Reimagined

The original Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse earned respect on period touring tracks for its lightness and agility. Tamiya recreates that character in miniature with a pre-cut, painted body that preserves the car's period details while easing assembly time.

Adjustable Drive and Wheelbase Choices

Centering the kit is the MB-01 frame, which offers short, medium and long wheelbase settings and a convertible rear-to-front drive option. The kit ships set up as rear-wheel drive but can be reconfigured by swapping final gears and modifying the steering linkage to change traction characteristics.

For those who enjoy hands-on setup and period-scale looks, the Tamiya 47492-60A offers an approachable platform for tuning and upgrades. It suits both first-time builders and hobbyists who like to refine handling step by step.

Assembly is straightforward for someone with basic model experience. Clear instructions and pre-cut bodywork make the build quicker, but standard modelling skills help when fitting electronics.
Slim touring tyres suit the Abarth body and give predictable grip on smooth surfaces. Softer compounds improve traction but may wear faster, so match tyre choice to your track or pavement.
Yes, the MB-01 frame is compatible with many common hop-up items like upgraded shock parts, metal drive components and performance tyres to enhance durability and handling.
The factory paint is resilient for normal use, but adding a clear protective layer or being careful with wheel-to-body contact helps the finish last longer during regular driving sessions.
