Iconic Mini Cooper Recreated in 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 57744 captures the spirit of the 2002 Mini Cooper in a finely detailed 1/10 scale polycarbonate shell. Built on the adaptable M03L chassis, this ready-to-run model is approachable for newcomers while still satisfying experienced hobbyists who value scale accuracy and predictable handling.

Chassis Layout and Weight Balance

The M03L chassis uses a front mid-ship motor and a forward battery position to bias weight toward the front axle, improving traction and steering feel. That arrangement helps the Mini Cooper remain responsive during tight turns and quick direction changes.

Smooth Suspension and Drivetrain Protection

Independent four-wheel suspension combined with plastic coil-over friction dampers absorbs irregularities and keeps the car composed at speed. The sealed gearbox keeps the drivetrain free of dust and grit, reducing wear and maintenance needs.
