Opel Kadett GT/E - Vintage Rally Style

This model reproduces the classic Opel Kadett GT/E silhouette at 1/10 scale, aimed at hobbyists who prize period accuracy and hands-on assembly. The MB-01 chassis underneath provides the mechanical flexibility to experiment with different drive layouts and wheelbase settings.

Chassis Versatility for Tuning

The MB-01 platform supports three wheelbase positions and permits either front or rear-wheel drive installations. Builders can select a low or high motor position for rear-wheel drive to influence traction and balance depending on the surface you plan to run on.

Built for Driving and Detailing

The body is moulded in lightweight polycarbonate for durability and scale appearance. With a 239mm long wheelbase and 60mm tyres, the car offers a planted feel for road circuits and light gravel. To finish the car you will need a 2-channel radio, steering servo, ESC and a compatible battery and charger.
