MB-01 Chassis Designed for Setup Flexibility

The Tamiya 47492-60A Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse pairs a historic silhouette with a chassis that encourages hands-on tuning. As a modern evolution of the M-chassis concept, the MB-01 provides multiple configuration choices so modellers can adapt handling to different conditions and tastes.

Recreating a Touring Car Classic

The Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR Berlina Corse made its mark in period touring events with sharp handling and compact packaging. Tamiya's model honours that heritage with a ready-painted, pre-cut shell that keeps the classic lines intact while helping builders get on the road sooner.

Setup Choices and Drive Conversion Explained

The MB-01 is the technical heart of the kit, offering three wheelbase settings and the ability to change from rear-wheel drive to front-wheel drive. It ships as rear-wheel drive but converting is straightforward by swapping final gears and adjusting steering linkages, allowing you to test different traction setups.

Whether you are restoring period styling or experimenting with setup changes, the Tamiya 47492-60A offers a balanced platform for both display and practical tuning sessions against friends or clubmates.

After first sessions check gear mesh, clean bearings and re-tighten screws. Inspect the body mounts and steering linkages for any loosening before more aggressive use.
The compact scale and MB-01 setup make it suitable for both smooth street runs and short, technical track layouts where nimble handling is valued.
No specialist tools are required beyond common hobby screwdrivers, pliers and a small spanner for wheel nuts. Converting gears and linkages is a matter of basic mechanical adjustments.
Look to community forums and MB-01 setup guides for recommended gear ratios, wheelbase choices and tyre selections to match your local surfaces and driving style.
