Mini Cooper Racing Heritage Recreated

The Mini Cooper has been a compact icon for decades, known for clever packaging and spirited driving. This 1/10 scale Tamiya model reproduces that character with period styling tied to the BMC-era cars. The kit captures the original front-wheel-drive layout in a compact, authentic shell while integrating the modern MB-01 chassis for improved drivability and setup flexibility.

MB-01 Chassis: Tunable and User Friendly

The MB-01 platform gives builders options: three selectable wheelbases and the ability to fit front- or rear-drive arrangements. Its symmetrical four-wheel double wishbone suspension and friction-type dampers provide consistent response and easy adjustment, ideal for hobbyists who like to tune ride feel for different surfaces.

Bodywork and Road Performance Details

The polycarbonate Mini Cooper Racing body is light and accurately shaped, paired with 8-spoke wheels and 60D radial tyres to give authentic grip and handling. This assembly kit needs a 2-channel radio, a steering servo and a suitable battery and charger to complete the car, letting you choose electronics that match your driving style.

The Tamiya 58747 Mini Cooper Racing kit is a versatile scale project that suits collectors and tuners alike. With authentic styling and an adaptable MB-01 chassis, it is ideal for display runs or precision road driving after you add your chosen electronics.

The kit uses straightforward parts and clear instructions. New builders should allow extra time for trimming and painting the polycarbonate body, but the MB-01 layout is forgiving for first-time assemblers.
A basic 2-channel radio and a standard steering servo work well. Use a 7.2 to 7.4V battery pack that fits the MB-01 battery bay and a compatible charger rated for your battery chemistry.
Yes. Adjusting wheelbase selection, tyre choice and friction damper settings will change turn-in and stability, letting you optimize for smooth tarmac or tighter club circuits.
Use Tamiya PS spray paints for reliable adhesion, mask carefully for crisp lines, and keep coats light to retain detail. A clear topcoat adds protection against minor scuffs.
