About 5.3 million units of the Mini were produced from 1959 until 2000 – remarkably without major model changes – and this legendary little car even achieved second place in the Car of the Century award for the best cars of the 20th century. Its front-wheel drive layout was rare for its time, and it featured ergonomic body structure with compact mechanics and maximum interior space, as well as frisky performance. In 1961, the sporty Mini Cooper joined the line-up and with great racing success, the car gained even greater popularity around the world. This assembly kit creates a radio control model assembly kit depicting the car, with a polycarbonate body pre-painted in blue with a white roof. Stickers are included for the bonnet stripes, body-side pinstripes and racing numbers. 8-spoke wheels are paired with 60D radial tires.
The MB-01 Chassis
The compact, 2WD MB-01 chassis gives a choice of three types of wheelbase, and front- or rear- wheel drive system. This model employs a front-wheel drive setup. Without removing battery pack, motor and R/C equipment setups from the center frame, simply change attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front- and rear-wheel drive; low or high motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Unitized sections such as motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance.
