Tamiya 58483 1/10 Mini Cooper '94 Monte Carlo M-05 Collector Kit  [58483]

Mini Cooper '94 Monte Carlo Scale Homage

The Mini Cooper remains one of rallying's most recognisable cars, and the 1994 Monte Carlo appearance is honoured by Tamiya in this 1/10 scale model. The Tamiya 58483 pairs classic rally looks with the compact M-05 chassis for an authentic and adjustable build.

Design Highlights of the M-05

The M-05 chassis used in the Tamiya 58483 kit is prized for its nimble footprint and straightforward component layout. Its short 210mm wheelbase reflects the characterful handling of the original car, and locating the servo, receiver and ESC to the rear helps deliver a lower centre of gravity and improved balance.

Control, Customisation and Optional Parts

Featuring four-wheel double wishbone suspension and a three-piece tie-rod steering linkage, the M-05 provides precise steering and stable handling. For improved performance or longevity, there are optional upgrades such as ball bearings, an aluminium motor plate and a ball differential set available from Tamiya.

The Tamiya 58483 Mini Cooper '94 Monte Carlo M-05 kit is suited to collectors who want accurate period detail and to drivers who plan to tune the chassis for better track performance. It offers a good balance of historic charm and modern RC practicality.
