This kit is great. So many options, front wheel drive or rear wheel drive , you pick , 3 wheel bases for different body choices. Built to accept lipos, and motor can be swung up to a more drift type mounting position. Needs bearings and shock upgrade if you intend to really run it. Fine as is if it's a once and a while runner.

The MB-01 is a neat concept on paper, but in some areas it is a poor design, chiefly, the the suspension balls can pop out during light use.

A cheap fix is to use washers between the balls/spacers to hold everything together, or buy a set of the low friction balls for the TT02.

Once that has been fixed it isn't a bad runner, but it certainly is not a racer, the old M05/M06 chassis could handle better out of the box. Rallying is out of the question for this chassis.

Also, some M chassis wheels will rub on the suspension arms, you may need spacers or wider hexes.
