Tamiya 47515 Mini Cooper Racing Painted Body Blue MB-01 Short Wheelbase Edition  [47515]

Pre-finished 1/10 Mini Cooper Racing body matched to MB-01 short-wheelbase

This painted Mini Cooper Racing shell is produced in lightweight polycarbonate and arrives ready to mount on MB-01 short-wheelbase configurations. The body is supplied pre-painted blue with a white roof and smoke windows, with pre-cut arches and factory-drilled body mount points for a tidy fitment.

Chassis notes and layout options

The MB-01 chassis is a compact 1/10 two-wheel-drive platform configured for a front-motor, front-wheel drive arrangement in this kit. It supports selectable wheelbase settings and can be converted between front and rear drive by altering final gear orientation and steering link placement. The platform uses independent double wishbone suspension and friction dampers for straightforward maintenance.

Scale appearance and components

The body keeps Mini proportions at 1/10 scale and is finished with racing graphics and decal positions. The package includes 8-spoke wheels and 60D radial tyres that complement the short-wheelbase stance while making the model display-ready or suitable for light track use.

Best use cases for this kit

This painted-body MB-01 option is aimed at hobbyists who prioritise a neat, factory-finished exterior without the need to paint the shell. It suits builders wanting a classic Mini profile on a simple chassis and collectors who prefer an assembled-looking result.

The Tamiya 47515 painted Mini Cooper body provides a compact MB-01 short-wheelbase styling for those wanting a finished exterior and a straightforward chassis for running or display.
