The Tamiya 84183 reproduces the Mini Cooper profile with a pre-painted Racing Green shell and a clean white roof. Included on the decal sheet are Union Jack motifs and race numbers to personalise the finish if you wish.
Built on the M05 chassis, this model is noted for its compact footprint and predictable handling. The 210mm short wheelbase favours quick direction changes, while locating the servo, receiver and ESC at the rear of the monocoque helps with weight balance and a lower centre of gravity.
The car uses a four-wheel double wishbone suspension along with a three-piece tie-rod steering system to give accurate steering response. M-Chassis 60mm tyres smooth the ride and the gold metal-plated wheels complete the factory appearance.
Enthusiasts can fit a range of optional parts to tailor performance. Common upgrades include the M-Chassis Aluminum Damper Set and the Clamp Type Aluminum Wheel Hub to improve damping and wheel security.
Tamiya 84183 is a well-rounded Mini Cooper kit offering tidy handling for club runs and a clear path for upgrades for those wanting to refine performance.
