Mini Cooper Heritage Meets M-05 Engineering

The Tamiya 58438 Mini Cooper Racing kit captures the iconic Mini silhouette in a 1/10 RC package. Coupled with the M-05 chassis, it is built to deliver predictable handling and a satisfying driving feel.

M-05 Rear-Biased Setup

The M-05 positions the servo, receiver and ESC toward the rear to improve balance and lower the center of gravity. This configuration enhances straight-line stability and makes the car more composed through corners.

Style That Works on Track

The detailed Mini body rides on 60D radial tyres and silver Rover Mini Cooper wheels for a true-to-life appearance and effective grip. A 3-piece tie-rod steering linkage provides precise steering feedback for confident cornering.

Upgrade Path and Fine Tuning

From optional suspension parts to gear and motor swaps, the M-05 chassis accepts a wide variety of upgrades. Builders can tailor the setup to focus on durability, corner speed or top-end performance.

The Tamiya 58438 Mini Cooper Racing on an M-05 chassis is well suited to hobbyists who value classic design and hands-on tuning. It makes a versatile platform for casual driving and focused setup sessions alike.

Electronics are generally sold separately, so plan for a 2-channel radio, ESC, servo, motor and a suitable battery and charger to complete the car.
Yes, the wheel hubs accept compatible aftermarket wheels and tyres. Changing tyre compounds and widths is a common way to tune handling for different surfaces.
Assembly time varies with experience but most hobbyists can build the kit in a few evenings. Take your time with wiring and servo installation for best results.
Regular checks of fasteners, drivetrain parts and suspension are recommended. Clean tyres and remove debris after runs to maintain consistent handling.
