TAMIYA RC 1/10 MINI COOPER RACING (MB-01)

Mini Coopers have been automotive machine fan favourites for decades! This 1/10 scale radio control model kit recreates the version of the Mini Cooper built by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) as it existed between 1959 and 2000. Original Minis were built for four decades without model changes. It had a front-wheel drive layout which was rare at that time, and it featured compact mechanics and maximum interior space. With its design featuring the necessary bare minimum features, it helped contribute to this car’s iconic status. The recreated R/C version comes on the MB-01 chassis in the short wheelbase and front motor / front wheel drive (FF) configuration layout.

About the MB-01 chassis
The compact, 2WD MB-01 chassis gives a choice of three types of wheelbases, and a front- or rear-wheel drive system. Without removing the battery pack, motor, and R/C equipment setups from the center frame, simply change the attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front- and rear-wheel drive; low or high motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Unitized sections such as motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance.

Special Features: 

• Features updated markings for the body.
• The form of the Mini Cooper Racing body is authentically recreated in lightweight polycarbonate.
• Features 8-spoke wheels paired with 60D radial tyres.
