The Tamiya 57742 XB Mini Cooper captures the 1960s Mini Cooper character in a compact 1/10 scale RC, letting hobbyists enjoy the look and driving feel of the original. The real-world Mini made its name with nimble performance on rally stages and touring circuits, and this model channels that heritage into an accessible track and street-friendly package.
The pre-painted polycarbonate shell wears a royal blue finish with a contrasting white roof and distinct bonnet stripes, while the metal-plated grille and bumper add period-accurate detail. Visually faithful, the shell sits atop the M-03 chassis with a front-mounted motor and front-wheel drive layout to reproduce authentic Mini handling traits.
The M-03 layout uses a mid-mounted battery position for improved weight distribution and predictable handling. Four-wheel independent double-wishbone suspension and friction dampers work with the high-performance 540-type motor to provide stable cornering and controlled acceleration across paved surfaces.
This RTR model arrives assembled and includes a trigger-type transmitter plus the TEU-101BK electronic speed controller, so you can start driving right away. Replaceable crystals are fitted to simplify frequency changes when racing with friends.
The Tamiya 57742 XB Mini Cooper is a great choice for modelers who want an authentic compact classic with approachable handling. It suits collectors and newcomers who value period styling and easy on-track manners.
