Classic Mini Style with Tamiya 57742 XB Mini Cooper

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.

Detailed Bodywork and Vintage Trim

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.

M-03 Chassis Traits and Setup

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.

Ready Out of the Box

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.
