Tamiya 47515 Mini Cooper Racing Painted Body Blue for MB-01 Short Wheelbase  [47515]

Pre-painted 1/10 Mini Cooper Racing shell tailored for MB-01 short-wheelbase

This painted-body Mini Cooper Racing shell is supplied in polycarbonate and prepared for MB-01 short-wheelbase configurations. It arrives pre-finished in blue with a white roof and smoke windows, complete with pre-cut wheel arches and body mount holes to simplify installation.

Chassis configuration and service notes

The MB-01 is a compact 1/10 2WD chassis used here in a front-motor, front-wheel drive layout for the short-wheelbase Mini. Multiple wheelbase positions are available and the platform can be reconfigured between front and rear drive by altering final gear orientation and steering link attachment. The independent double wishbone suspension and friction dampers make setup and maintenance straightforward.

Exterior fidelity and supplied parts

The lightweight polycarbonate body carries a factory blue paint finish with a white roof and smoke-tinted windows. Sticker positions match the Mini Racing styling and the set includes 8-spoke wheels with 60D radial tyres to preserve authentic short-wheelbase proportions at 1/10 scale.

Who should consider this kit

This painted-body MB-01 edition suits builders and collectors who want a clean, finished exterior without painting the shell themselves. It is appropriate for those who appreciate classic Mini styling on an uncomplicated MB-01 platform.

Tamiya 47515 offers a tidy, display-ready Mini Cooper finish on the MB-01 short-wheelbase chassis for hobbyists who prefer a finished shell paired with a serviceable kit chassis.
