MB01 is not to be compared to M07/M08.
In comparing it to M05/M06 it benefits from:
1. improved plastic
2. easy to work on
3. ease of changing wheel base
4. lower LCG than M05 but not M06
5. Sharing of parts with TT series eg low friction suspension ball, differentials and spools
6. droop adjustment
The bad:
1. it shares the slop of the M05/M06 as well
2. Limited gearing: which keeps competitive with M05/06 but not the 07/08
3. Body mount: some bodies can’t be lowered to desired lowest point.. this is why the Abarth look high up in front
4. ESC: the HW ESC had permanent drag brake, which makes a very slow car stop instantly 😂

One of my locals did a test run with his MB-01 and found it had no steering. I've just had a look over mine and the steering angle is pretty small.
M05 steering limiter at 24 degrees
M07 steering limiter at 28 degrees
MB-01 steering limiter at 14 degrees
I might end up trying to swap the arms left/right to move the steering limiter to the bottom of the arm, that might give a bit more steering.

The steering is fine when you run it. My m07 steering is reduced dramatically to work well on indoor carpet.

Except on our track it wasn't fine. Too much understeer.

I ran it yesterday rear wheel drive with S grip all around. It had plenty of steering and the shimming I did to steering made it precise. It drove fine but with limited gearing makes it very dull.
The M05 / M06 you have the 3 racing gears that will make them competitive with M07/08. The MB01 at the moment doesn't have any options unless you start to cut and grind things. So it won’t serve my purpose for racing and will be placing it for sale later this week.
Built it with all hex and full bearings. Pm me If anyone is interested in the chassis,

I’ve been waiting to see what livery they came up with.
1. They added an auto delta triangle in front of the four leaf clover
2. added number 53
3. Italian flag on rocker? Or is that paint?
4. X on head light.
No serpent and cross? overall, very lazy decal sheet! The number should have been 33, which is Alfas lucky number, not 53
