Tamiya 58483 1/10 Mini Cooper '94 Monte Carlo M-05 Rally Kit  [58483]

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.

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.
