Alfa Romeo MiTo on the Tamiya M05 Platform

RC drivers looking for a mix of Italian styling and precise handling will appreciate the Tamiya Alfa Romeo MiTo built on the M05 chassis. This 1/10 scale replica channels the compact character of the road car while delivering predictable on-road behaviour and a scale-accurate appearance. The MiTo name reflects its Italian roots and sporty pedigree without adding complexity to the build.

What Makes the M05 Chassis Effective

The M05 chassis stands out for its balance and setup flexibility. With an adjustable 239mm wheelbase and a low center of gravity thanks to rear-mounted servo, receiver, and ESC, the platform is easy to trim for stable high-speed runs or tighter handling for technical tracks.

Steering Feel and Upgrade Path

Designed with a 3-piece tie-rod steering linkage, the MiTo delivers precise turn-in for tight corners and fast direction changes. It rolls on 60D radial tyres fitted to new 5-spoke wheels for reliable grip, and there are numerous option parts available like aluminium uprights and adjustable upper arms to tune handling and durability.
