Beautiful! Tamiya MB-01 Fiat Abarth First Run & My Thoughts

[@petermcalley6208]

G'day Sunshine grouse job mate, can see why everybody reckons our accent sounds so unique, you sound grouse mate. I was a bit iffy about this Fiat but after seeing your car mate it's cool alright, I think I'll get one. Have to seen the Citroen DS 1/10 it's a MB-01 excellent fun build also. Well all the mate all the best Peter(Melb)

Thanks Peter. I like the body set but the chassis is a slop festival! Tamiya at its best! But it does drive ok.

[@mattiasrc]

Absolutely stunning looking Fiat Abarth, nice job Adam.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 😊

[@hidechan719]

Yeah! It’s so cool 😊 I also try to build this after BBX

[@BRMN8R]

I plan to get one of these. I have every other m-chassis Tamiya makes, and doubles triples, and quads of some chassis. I love the bodies, the Fiat is one that i missed amongst some of the others. I collect the bodies, but obviously they need a chassis to sit on, so i will more than likely end up with more than one of these MB-01s.

Great job Adam. That body looks fantastic.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 😊 it’s definitely a great looking body from Tamiya.

[@lo2713]

That body looks awsome, great job fella 👌

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 😊

[@Geo_art_RC]

It's a lovely looking body, you did a great job. I'm not sure if I would actually buy one but I said that about the M-05 NSU TT, I got one of those on the cheap and I love it!

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 😊

[@hashimrahman51]

For the exhaust you should try Tamiya’s weathering kit for exhausts. You can hit it with flat clear once you are done (although the flat clear will dull the iridescence a bit).

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thanks for the advice 😎

[@AddamsPlayground]

It is an interesting chassis and I hope they doe some different bodies and stuff on it soon. I am not a fan of the Fiat so I'll be waiting for it to come out on something else. I do like it a bit more in the camel yellow so I may be the baby blue box art that I am not a fan of...

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Definitely 💯

[@alanpassmore2275]

So it's like the original m chassis just newer.

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Hi Adam , love the colour! It’s turned out really well, love the body set on this, I quite like the chassis much more true in concept to the original m-chassis. I don’t like the rear links and hubs on this from a point of driving the car, it needed fixed links and not ones on ball joints. Anyway no biggie. Take care

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Totally agree Andy, great body set and I honestly was confused by the ball links on both ends!

[@luvimindoemralino3271]

Wow!!!That's Beautiful. I would like to know if this is a kit or the body is a separate kit? Thank you.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

At the moment just in the kit. I haven’t seen it separate

[@jamesh950]

The body is the selling point. 😅

[@BRMN8R]

The funny thing about the body, is a couple of years ago you could buy the body all day for $20USD out of HK, once they dried up... I wasn't particularly fond of this body until it was gone, then I couldn't find one for any price lol.

[@martinhsrc6699]

Hi Adam, did you fit super mini or mini CVAs?

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

I think they were super minis. Not much travel in them

[@martinhsrc6699]

@@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA Thanks

[@jamesh950]

If only it comes with an interior would be great 😅

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Definitely a nice touch you could add.
