Tamiya Mini Cooper Racing (MB-01) RC Touring Car 1/32 Scale - 58747

Tamiya's 58747 Mini Cooper Racing kit brings the iconic Mini Cooper to 1/32 scale in classic racing livery, built on the new MB-01 chassis platform designed specifically for small-scale touring car performance. This is a plastic assembly kit — not ready to run — and is aimed at builders who enjoy the construction process as much as the driving. The MB-01 chassis uses a mid-motor, 4WD layout in a compact form factor, making it a genuinely fresh platform rather than a scaled-down version of an existing design. The finished model is suited to smooth indoor surfaces and carpet tracks, where its small footprint and tight dimensions come into their own.

Key Features

• Mini Cooper Racing body captures the classic rally-inspired styling with detailed panel lines and provisions for decal finishing
