Opel Kadett GT/E - A Scaled Rally Classic

This 1/10 kit recreates the iconic Opel Kadett GT/E shape, delivering a nostalgic rally aesthetic alongside the MB-01 chassis engineering. It is aimed at model builders who enjoy authentic looks and practical setup choices.

MB-01 Platform - Setup and Options

The MB-01 chassis offers three wheelbase settings and the choice to run front or rear-wheel drive. For rear-wheel drive layouts you can select a low or high motor mount to influence handling dynamics and traction on different surfaces.

Construction, Dimensions and Equipment Needed

The polycarbonate body keeps the shell lightweight while remaining durable. A 239mm long wheelbase and 60mm tyres result in a steady footprint for road use. Completion requires a 2-channel transmitter, a steering servo, an ESC and a compatible battery plus charger.
