Scale Mini Cooper With Realistic Bodywork

The Tamiya 57744 recreates the 2002 Mini Cooper in detailed 1/10 scale using a clear polycarbonate body that takes paint well. Mounted on the M03L chassis, this RTR model delivers an appealing mix of accuracy and practical handling for hobby runs and casual track sessions.

M03L Engineering and Balance

The M03L layout positions the motor front mid-ship with the battery ahead, which biases the car toward the front wheels for sharper steering. This setup helps the Mini maintain composure when negotiating tight bends.

Ride Quality and Protection

Four-wheel independent suspension paired with plastic coil-over friction dampers helps the car ride over bumps without unsettling the chassis. The sealed gearbox keeps lubrication in and contaminants out to help parts last longer.

Does the kit include electronics?

This RTR model typically includes a fitted motor and drivetrain but may require you to supply a compatible radio, receiver, and battery depending on the package.

What surface is best for driving?

Smooth tarmac, carparks, and flat parking lots suit this model best, where the radial tyres can maintain grip and steering precision.

How do I protect the painted body?

Use a clear polycarbonate lacquer over your paint to guard against chips and UV fade. Avoid harsh cleaning solvents when wiping the shell.

Can I swap tyres for more grip?

Yes, you can fit alternative tyres to suit different surfaces. Wider or softer-compound tyres will generally increase mechanical grip but may affect steering feel.

Is spare part support available?

Replacement parts and upgrade items for the M03L and Mini Cooper body are offered by hobby retailers and aftermarket suppliers if components need replacing or improving.
