Heritage of the 1994 Mini Cooper Monte Carlo Replica

The Mini Cooper has long been a rally icon, and the 1994 Monte Carlo run marked a memorable return for the marque. Tamiya captures that moment in 1/10 scale with the Tamiya 58483, blending classic styling with the M-05 chassis to give hobbyists a faithful and driveable tribute.

M-05 Chassis Overview

The Tamiya 58483 Mini Cooper '94 Monte Carlo kit uses the compact M-05 platform, built for nimble handling and straightforward setup. The short 210mm wheelbase helps replicate the original Mini's agility, while the rear-mounted servo, receiver, and ESC aid balance and lower the centre of gravity for surefooted cornering.

Handling, Setup and Optional Upgrades

The M-05 features four-wheel double wishbone suspension and a three-piece tie-rod steering linkage for precise turn-in and stability. Owners can fit optional parts such as a ball bearing set, aluminium motor plate, and a ball differential set to sharpen performance or increase durability depending on driving style.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis: M-05
  • Wheelbase: 210mm (short)
  • Suspension: Double wishbone
  • Tires: M-Chassis 55mm diameter
  • Included: Sticker sheet and masking seals

The Tamiya 58483 Mini Cooper '94 Monte Carlo M-05 kit is ideal for scale collectors and tuners who value authentic looks and a chassis that is easy to modify. It bridges vintage rally character with modern RC setup options.

Assembly is approachable for a newcomer with basic modeling skills; the M-05 layout is tidy and parts are well indexed, but allow extra time for painting the body and applying decals.
A compact 540-size motor and a slim ESC fit neatly with the rear-mounted layout; choose a low-profile servo to keep steering response crisp and weight low.
On smooth asphalt or sealed car parks use medium-compound M-chassis tyres; for grippier indoor surfaces try softer compounds or foam inserts that match the 55mm diameter.
Yes, with performance parts and careful setup the M-05 can be competitive in club-level M-chassis classes; focus on weight distribution and steering geometry for best lap times.
