Celebrating the 1994 Mini Cooper Monte Carlo Return

The Mini Cooper's rally pedigree is captured in this scale model from Tamiya. The Tamiya 58483 recreates the 1994 Monte Carlo appearance on the modern M-05 chassis, delivering period styling combined with a chassis built for easy setup and tuning.

M-05 Platform Features

The M-05 chassis underpins the Tamiya 58483 kit, chosen for its compact footprint and dependable handling. Its 210mm short wheelbase imitates the original car's quick steering, while rear placement of the servo, receiver, and ESC contributes to balanced handling and a low centre of gravity.

Steering, Suspension and Performance Parts

The M-05 incorporates four-wheel double wishbones and a three-piece tie-rod steering system for responsive control. For owners seeking more performance, Tamiya supplies optional parts like ball bearings, an aluminium motor plate, and a ball differential to raise durability and lap pace.

  • Chassis: M-05
  • Wheelbase: 210mm (short)

The Tamiya 58483 Mini Cooper '94 Monte Carlo M-05 kit is a strong pick for enthusiasts who want a scale-accurate model that can be upgraded for better track performance. It balances historic looks with practical tuning potential.

Basic hobby tools like side cutters, small screwdrivers, and hobby glue for trimming are enough; a hobby knife and a set of hex drivers will make the build smoother.
Regularly clean bearings, check tie-rod alignment, and inspect the suspension for wear. Lubricate moving parts and replace worn tyres to maintain predictable handling.
Yes, hobbyists often add period-correct accessories, alternative decal schemes, or paint detailing to match historical liveries while keeping the polycarbonate body light.
With the right tyre choice and suspension tune the M-05 can be very competitive on indoor carpet circuits that use M-chassis rules or similar classes.
