Features
The Opel Kadett GT/E released in 1975 was a high-spec version of the Opel Kadett, a car which enjoyed great popularity in Europe in the 1970s. The GT/E had a 2-door coupe body, a high-spec 1.9-liter engine and reinforced suspension; the works Opel Eurohandler team, satellite teams and privateers took part in rally races with modified versions of this car, and in 1976 it secured second place in the manufacturer's championship in global rally races. This assembly kit R/C model recreates the car in 1/10 scale, with a polycarbonate body capturing the classic lines of the car.
The MB-01 Chassis
The compact, 2WD MB-01 chassis gives a choice of three types of wheelbase, and front- or rear- wheel drive system. This model employs a midship motor, rear-wheel drive setup. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Unitized sections such as motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance. What is more, without removing battery pack, motor and R/C equipment setups from the center frame, simply change attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front- and rear-wheel drive; low or high motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars.
- Bathtub type chassis
- Midship motor, rear-wheel drive
- 4-bevel differential gear
- 3-piece steering tie-rod
- 4-wheel double wishbone suspension
- Friction dampers
- Gear ratio = 5.83:1 (using kit 29T pinion)

- Electronic speed controller (ESC) is sold separately
Take a look at the polycarbonate body from another angle, and see how it captures the elegantly sloped Kadett GT/E form.
Quadruple fog lamps on the front are separate parts.
Flat side mirrors are separate parts, with stickers for the mirror surfaces.
The rear bumper is also a separately molded part. Rear combination lamps have PC-ABS light cases compatible with separately sold LEDs.
Classical dish wheels are paired with treaded 60D radial tires.
The compact MB-01 chassis. For this model, it is assembled with a long wheelbase: 239mm.
The servo is installed in the right-rear of the model, and moves the steering linkage via a link rod.
The four-wheel double wishbone suspension uses symmetrical arms.
The motor mount is assembled as a unit, and secured to the chassis using two screws.
The motor is installed in the left-rear, and provides power via propeller shaft.
The 4-bevel gear differential is the same as that on the TT-02; this chassis is compatible with TT-02 Hop-Up Option differentials.
The flip-up battery holder gives quick access.
This versatile chassis can be assembled into three wheelbases and two drivetrain layouts.
