The Tamiya 58400 Mini Cooper S 2006 model recreates the compact charm and spirited handling of the Mk.II MINI in a tidy 1/10 package. The body lines and stance reflect the real car, giving builders an accurate and engaging scale driving model.
The M03L chassis mirrors the original front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout to deliver authentic handling traits. Its resin monocoque frame is built for durability while simplifying the build, and the independent double wishbone suspension helps produce predictable cornering and responsive control.
Tamiya includes a lightweight polycarbonate body that captures the 2006 styling cues like the hood scoop and rear wing, plus separately moulded side mirrors for added realism. The finished look is completed with sport-style wheels and synthetic rubber radial tyres.
To run this kit you will need a 2-channel radio, a 6-cell flat pack battery and an electronic speed controller. Painting and trimming the polycarbonate shell, along with dialling in suspension settings, give plenty of scope for personalisation whether you are a new builder or a seasoned hobbyist.
The Tamiya 58400 Mini Cooper S 2006 is a satisfying kit for collectors and club drivers alike, offering realistic handling and a rewarding build experience from body prep to final setup.
