In 1976, it finished second in the manufacturer's championship.

About the MB-01 Chassis:

Three options for wheelbase and front- or rear-wheel drive systems are available for the small, two-wheel drive MB-01 chassis. To switch between front- and rear-wheel drive, just reverse the attachment directions of the steering linkage and final gears; for rear-wheel drive cars, you can select a low or high motor position. This can be done without removing the battery pack, motor, and R/C equipment setups from the centre frame. The symmetrical structure and friction dampers are features of the four-wheel double wishbone suspension. Unitized parts like the suspension, final gears, and motor mount make maintenance and assembly simpler and more efficient.
