Scale race replica and tuning base for the Tamiya 58520 Mini JCW Coupe

The Tamiya 58520 Mini JCW Coupe pays homage to the MINI JCW Coupe that competed in the SP 3T class at the 39th ADAC Zurich 24 Hours of Nurburgring in 2011. This model blends accurate race-inspired styling with parts that make chassis tuning straightforward.

Authentic bodywork and race cues

Modelled after the two-seater MINI Coupe, the kit reflects race-spec changes such as the steeper windshield profile, adjustable suspension mounts and the rear wing. The polycarbonate shell and separately moulded ABS mirrors add realistic shapes and fitment for detailed finishing.

M-05 chassis setup and handling

Built on the M-05 chassis, the Tamiya 58520 is known for easy assembly and responsive handling. The long 239mm wheelbase and front-wheel-drive layout deliver stable steering, while the independent double wishbone suspension with oil-filled dampers helps maintain composure on smooth layouts.

Included parts and original extras

This kit ships with the matte gold-plated 8-spoke wheels that were included in the initial 2012 release. A gear differential and a 540 motor are provided, but the electronic speed controller must be sourced separately. Vinyl stickers and window masks are included for an accurate finish.

Tamiya 58520 Mini JCW Coupe is a great option for builders who favour realistic race detail and a chassis that responds to setup changes. It works well for display, track practice or club competitions.

Expect to trim, mask and paint the polycarbonate shell; allow time for multiple thin coats and for decals to be applied after the paint cures.
Yes, the M-05 chassis gives access to suspension geometry and ride height adjustments, allowing you to dial in understeer or turn-in based on tyre choice and spring settings.
The chassis accommodates standard 7.2V NiMH packs and many compact LiPo solutions; check pack dimensions against the battery tray before buying.
Tamiya-compatible spare parts and hop-up pieces are available from hobby outlets, so you can replace wear items or upgrade components as needed.
