Overview of the Tamiya 84183 Mini Cooper Racing

The Tamiya 84183 models the iconic Mini Cooper look with a gloss Racing Green body and a white roof already painted at the factory. A decal sheet featuring the Union Jack and race numbers is included so you can personalise the car to your taste.

M05 Chassis Setup and Balance

The core M05 chassis gives a compact, balanced layout ideal for tight tracks. The 210mm short wheelbase encourages responsive cornering, and the monocoque design places servo, receiver, and ESC towards the rear to improve overall weight distribution and stability.

Handling and Component Details

This kit features four-wheel double wishbone suspension and a three-piece tie-rod steering assembly for steady steering feedback. The supplied M-Chassis 60mm tyres help maintain traction, while the gold metal-plated wheels provide a tidy, finished look.

Options for Tuning

If you want to adjust handling or appearance, there are several optional parts available. Consider the M-Chassis Aluminum Damper Set or the Clamp Type Aluminum Wheel Hub to refine damping or wheel fitment.

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis: M05

The Tamiya 84183 is a handy choice for both newcomers and regular club racers, offering straightforward handling and clear upgrade paths.

It is approachable for beginners with some modelling experience, while also giving more advanced drivers a solid platform to tune.
Yes, many M-Chassis upgrades and replacement parts are compatible, making it easy to swap dampers, hubs or tyres.
For outdoor tarmac you may prefer different compound tyres, but the supplied 60mm M-Chassis tyres are a good all-round choice for smooth surfaces.
The body arrives pre-painted but the kit requires assembly and installation of electronics and a motor before it can be driven.
