Celebrate an all-time motoring icon with the Tamiya Mini Cooper Racing (MB-01). This 1/10 scale radio control model kit recreates the British Motor Corporation Mini as it existed between 1959 and 2000, staying true to the car’s minimalist design and compact proportions. Supplied as an assembly kit on Tamiya’s MB-01 platform in short-wheelbase, front motor/front wheel drive (FF) configuration, the HC-58747 pairs authentic looks with a satisfying build experience.

At the heart of the model is Tamiya’s compact, versatile MB-01 2WD chassis. Engineered for flexibility and straightforward maintenance, it allows configuration changes without removing the battery pack, motor or R/C equipment from the centre frame. Symmetrical suspension components and unitised sections help streamline assembly and servicing while supporting dependable on-road performance.

The faithfully styled Mini Cooper Racing body is moulded in lightweight polycarbonate and features updated markings. Period-style 8-spoke wheels are paired with grippy 60D radial tyres, and an electronic speed controller (ESC) is included to get you closer to running once your radio gear, servo and battery are installed. The 210mm short wheelbase complements the Mini’s classic stance and compact footprint.

MB-01 Chassis Highlights

  • Compact 2WD platform with a choice of three wheelbases.
  • Switch between front- or rear-wheel drive by changing final gear and steering linkage orientation, without removing core electronics from the centre frame.
  • Low or high motor position selectable for rear-wheel drive setups.
  • 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with a symmetrical layout and friction dampers.
  • Unitised motor mount, final gears and suspension sections for ease of assembly and effective maintenance.

Mini Coopers have been automotive fan favourite machines 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 until the year 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 battery pack, motor, and R/C equipment setups from the centre frame, simply change 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.
