MA-020
Indoor racing, beginner-friendly
All-wheel-drive platform with more traction and stability. Ideal for drivers transitioning from other RC cars.
The MA-020's AWD layout makes it more forgiving than the MR-03 — the car tracks straighter and oversteers less under acceleration. It runs many of the same body shells as the MR-03 but has a different motor position and drivetrain geometry.
