The Mini Cooper's rally history is legendary, and the 1994 Monte Carlo appearance is captured here by Tamiya in the 1/10 scale Tamiya 58483 release. The model pairs traditional rally aesthetics with the modern M-05 chassis to create a faithful and tunable scale replica.
The Tamiya 58483 sits on the compact M-05 chassis, engineered for agility and simple maintenance. With a short 210mm wheelbase the model mirrors the quick handling of the full-size car, while positioning electronics toward the rear helps centralise mass and lower the centre of gravity.
The M-05 uses a four-wheel double wishbone suspension plus a three-piece tie-rod steering setup for crisp control through bends. Enthusiasts can fit optional items like the M-05 ball bearing set, aluminium motor plate, or a ball differential to tailor durability and drive feel.
Tamiya 58483 Mini Cooper '94 Monte Carlo M-05 is well suited for hobbyists who enjoy period models that can also be set up for spirited driving. Its balance of scale detail and upgrade potential makes it a versatile kit.
