Classic Mini Cooper Rendered in Precise 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 57744 faithfully reproduces the 2002 Mini Cooper profile in 1/10 scale with a clear polycarbonate body that captures the car's characteristic lines. The M03L chassis provides a straightforward platform that appeals to those who want authentic looks and steady driving characteristics.

M03L Layout and Front-End Traction

With a front mid-ship motor and a front-mounted battery, the M03L favours the front wheels for improved steering response. This configuration gives the model a planted feel when entering corners and during close manoeuvres.

Handling Components and Longevity

Independent suspension on all four corners and plastic coil-over friction dampers help the Mini Cooper absorb road imperfections and stay composed. The sealed gearbox protects internal gears and lowers maintenance frequency for regular use.

The Tamiya 57744 Mini Cooper suits drivers who value authentic styling and dependable handling in a compact package. It is well suited to club runs and scenic display.

The sealed gearbox helps protect internal parts, but tyres and electronics can be affected by water. Avoid heavy rain and dry components thoroughly if the car gets wet.
Inspect gearbox seals, suspension joints, and wheel bearings after several runs. Regularly check for loose screws and replace worn tyres to maintain handling stability.
Upgrading the motor is possible but check space constraints on the M03L and ensure gear ratios and ESC settings suit the new motor to avoid overheating or drivetrain strain.
The clear polycarbonate shell is supplied unpainted and may need trimming to fit. Follow the template lines and use a sharp pair of scissors for clean edges.
