Mini Cooper S 2006 Rendered in 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 58400 Mini Cooper S 2006 brings the distinctive silhouette of the Mk.II MINI into the hobby in faithful scale. The model emphasises the compact profile and sporty stance that make the original a standout.

M03L Layout and Road Feel

The M03L chassis reproduces the front-engine, front-wheel-drive arrangement to provide a familiar handling balance. The resin monocoque construction eases assembly while retaining rigidity, and the independent double wishbone suspension aids stable cornering and predictable steering feedback.

Trim Accuracy and Components

Attention to detail includes a polycarbonate body that matches the 2006 styling, plus separately moulded mirrors and authentic wheel styling. Synthetic rubber radial tyres complete the look and help with grip on paved surfaces.

Putting It Together and Getting Running

Plan on fitting a 2-channel transmitter, a compatible electronic speed controller and a 6-cell flat battery to operate the model. Body painting, trimming and suspension adjustments are all part of tailoring the car to your driving style.

Tamiya 58400 delivers a compact, tuneable platform that appeals to hobbyists who enjoy precise handling and a detailed finish. It is well suited to street-style runs and display builds.

A basic 2-channel radio system is sufficient for steering and throttle control, but choosing a radio with adjustable throws helps fine tune handling.
Yes, you can install higher-spec ESCs and motors, provided they match the battery voltage and space constraints of the M03L layout.
Replacement polycarbonate shells and a range of trim parts are commonly available from parts suppliers if you need spares.
The resin monocoque offers good strength for normal running and light impacts, but inspect mounts and suspension components after any heavy contact.
The supplied synthetic rubber radial tyres are designed for tarmac; if you want different grip characteristics, consider sport compound replacements.
