The Mini Cooper, produced from 1959 to 2000, redefined small car engineering with its revolutionary front-wheel-drive layout and space-efficient design. Built for four decades without major changes, this compact yet spirited machine became a cultural icon, blending practicality with thrilling handling. Loved by racers and everyday drivers alike, its timeless charm and go-kart-like agility cemented its place as one of the most beloved cars in automotive history.
Chassis:
The MB-01 chassis is nothing short of versatile and gives the user different options to choose from. The compact 2WD chassis can be assembled with your choice of wheelbase lengths; Short (210mm), Middle (225mm), or keep it Long (239mm) as depicted in the photos and on the box. Without removing the battery pack, motor, and other equipment setups from the center frame, you can change the attachment directions of the final gears and steering linkage to switch between front or rear wheel drive, where low or high motor mounting positions are available for rear wheel drive cars.
Suspension:
The four-wheel double wishbone suspension features a symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Double wishbone suspension allows each wheel to act and react independently from the others, offering precision handling when tackling those hard-to-maneuver courses. Sections such as the motor mount, final gears, and suspension are unitized and facilitate ease of assembly and maintenance.
Body:
The body included in this kit is clear, unpainted, and uncut, which allows for some personalized touches during the painting process. This assembly kit comes with multiple decal sheets that decals used on the Mini Cooper Racing. The polycarbonate body also incorporates beautifully captured body lines to recreate the stunning style of the original car.
