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

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

This pre-painted Mini Cooper Racing body is moulded in polycarbonate to suit MB-01 short-wheelbase setups. The shell arrives blue with a white roof and smoke-tinted windows, with wheel arches and body mounting holes already cut to reduce build time for model makers.

Layout and mechanical notes

The MB-01 is a compact 1/10 two-wheel-drive frame arranged here in a front-motor, front-wheel drive configuration to suit the short-wheelbase Mini. The chassis permits various wheelbase positions and can be altered between front and rear drive by reversing final gear orientation and relocating steering link attachments. Double wishbone suspension and friction dampers keep the running gear simple and serviceable.

Appearance and scale intent

The lightweight polycarbonate body is factory-painted blue with a white roof and smoke windows. Decal positions reflect updated Mini Racing graphics, and the included 8-spoke wheels with 60D radial tyres help maintain authentic short-wheelbase proportions at 1/10 scale for collectors and casual runners.

Who will enjoy this kit

Suitable for modelers who want a finished exterior without painting, this painted-body MB-01 item appeals to builders wanting an authentic Mini profile on an accessible chassis and to collectors seeking a presentable display piece.

Tamiya 47515 gives a compact MB-01 short-wheelbase option with a ready-finished Mini Cooper exterior for hobbyists preferring minimal body work and a faithful scale look.
