The Tamiya 57742 XB Mini Cooper brings the small-car charisma of the 1960s Mini into a 1/10 scale RC form, offering a compact, nimble driving experience. Famous for punchy track performances in its heyday, the Mini's DNA is reflected in this model's lively on-road behaviour and period-correct looks.
This pre-painted polycarbonate body sports a royal blue coat, white roof and bonnet stripes, complemented by metal-plated grille and bumper detailing for an authentic presentation. The shell is mounted to the M-03 chassis, which places the motor at the front to mirror the original driving layout.
The M-03 uses a mid-battery position to aid balance and predictable steering. It features a 4-wheel independent double-wishbone setup and friction-style dampers that, combined with the 540 motor, deliver controlled acceleration and stable cornering on paved tracks.
Arriving pre-built, the car includes a trigger transmitter and TEU-101BK electronic speed controller so you can be on the move with minimal fuss. Replaceable crystals are provided for simple frequency swaps during group runs.
For hobbyists who enjoy authentic scale looks and confident on-road handling, the Tamiya 57742 XB Mini Cooper offers an enjoyable, low-effort driving package that suits both display and local track sessions.
