MINI JCW Coupe Recreated in 1/10 Scale for RC Modellers

The Tamiya 51489 body set recreates the MINI JCW Coupe at 1/10 scale specifically for RC hobbyists. The precisely molded polycarbonate shell captures the car's compact profile and sporty stance while staying light enough for performance-oriented builds. Use it to update a tired shell or to personalise a dedicated M-05 platform.

Key Components and Build Notes

Material: Durable, lightweight polycarbonate that trims cleanly and resists impacts.
Components: Supplied with a rear wing, light cases, and separately molded side mirrors to boost authenticity.
Customization: Includes decals and window masking stickers so you can mask and paint accurately.
Compatibility: Designed to fit M-05 and M-05 PRO chassis with a 239mm long wheelbase.

Is this shell suitable for club racing?

The polycarbonate construction keeps weight down while staying tough, so it is commonly used in club racing when trimmed and reinforced correctly.

Can I mount this on other chassis types?

It is sized for M-05 and M-05 PRO layouts with the 239mm wheelbase; other chassis may need cutting or new mount points to fit.

What paints and masks work best?

Use polycarbonate-specific spray paints and apply the included window masks before painting. Thin, even coats give the best finish and reduce peel risk.
