Tamiya 47515 Mini Cooper Racing Blue Painted Body MB-01 Short Wheelbase  [47515]

Compact 1/10 Mini Cooper Racing body for MB-01 short-wheelbase builds

The painted Mini Cooper Racing body for the MB-01 chassis presents the Mini silhouette in ready-to-mount polycarbonate. This version ships pre-painted in blue with a white roof and smoke-tinted windows, and includes pre-cut wheel arches plus body mount holes to make finishing straightforward for hobbyists.

MB-01 chassis layout and serviceability

The MB-01 is a compact 1/10 2WD platform configured here for a short-wheelbase, front-motor front-wheel drive layout. The chassis supports multiple wheelbase settings and can be adapted between front and rear drive by changing final gear orientation and steering link attachment. Fully independent double wishbone suspension, friction dampers, and a unitised motor mount and final gear layout keep assembly and maintenance logical.

Scale look and body features

The polycarbonate shell is lightweight and pre-painted blue with a contrasting white roof and smoke windows. Decal positions follow updated Mini Racing graphics, and the pre-cut arches with the included 8-spoke wheels and 60D radial tires help retain the compact road-car appearance at 1/10 scale for display or casual driving.

Recommended for builders and collectors

This painted-body MB-01 edition suits hobbyists who prioritise a tidy exterior finish without needing to paint the shell. It appeals to builders wanting an authentic Mini silhouette on an accessible MB-01 platform, and collectors who prefer a completed look combined with an assembly kit chassis.

The Tamiya 47515 painted Mini Cooper provides a neat short-wheelbase MB-01 package for hobbyists who want a finished exterior with a serviceable chassis for running or display.
