TAMIYA RC 1/10 MINI COOPER RACING (MB-01) BLUE PAINTED BODY - LIMITED EDITION

Tamiya 1/10 RC Mini Cooper Racing (MB-01) Blue Painted Body - Limited Edition

This limited-edition Tamiya Mini Cooper Racing kit gives you the classic British icon on the compact MB-01 chassis, with a body that arrives already painted in Blue (PS-4) with a White (PS-1) roof and Smoke (PS-31) windows.

Please note this is an unassembled kit requiring assembly; it ships as a build-it-yourself kit and does not arrive pre-built or ready to run.

Unlike the standard Mini Cooper Racing kit, this edition includes a pre-painted body with pre-cut wheel arches and pre-made body mount holes, making it a great choice for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike.

Minis have been fan favourites for decades. This 1/10 scale radio control kit recreates the Mini Cooper built by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) between 1959 and 2000. The original Mini was built for four decades without model changes, and its front-wheel-drive layout was rare at the time. Compact mechanics and maximum interior space, combined with a design built around the bare minimum, helped cement its iconic status. This R/C version is built on the MB-01 chassis in the short wheelbase, front motor / front-wheel-drive (FF) layout.
