Drive a Scale MiTo on Tamiya's M05 Chassis

Hobbyists who enjoy detailed scale styling and tidy handling will find the Tamiya Alfa Romeo MiTo on the M05 chassis appealing. This compact 1/10 model recreates the distinctive lines of the road car while focusing on consistent on-track performance and straightforward tuning.

Chassis Traits That Matter

The M05 platform is prized for its setup versatility. Its adjustable 239mm wheelbase and rearward electronics layout give a low center of gravity and predictable weight balance, making it simple to dial in neutral handling or more aggressive turn-in depending on driving style.

Tight Steering and Practical Upgrades

The three-piece tie-rod steering delivers accurate cornering, and the included 60D radial tyres on 5-spoke wheels give dependable grip for most sealed surfaces. Owners can fit option parts such as aluminium uprights and adjustable upper arms to refine steering, roll stiffness, and durability.

The polycarbonate shell is paint-ready. Use compatible polycarbonate paints and masking techniques to protect fine details and achieve a clean finish.
