Tamiya's M-05 chassis information confirms the front-wheel-drive semi-monocoque layout, low centre of gravity, double-wishbone suspension and three-piece steering linkage. Current Tamiya\/Horizon information confirms a 540-size brushed motor and brushed ESC are included, while the radio system, servo, 7.2-7.4V battery and charger are required separately. Current model references confirm 322 x 160 x 140mm dimensions, 210mm short wheelbase, updated markings and masking stickers; TamiyaClub also lists bonus gold metal-plated wheels and clarifies that the 1994 car commemorated the Mini's 1964 Monte Carlo victory rather than winning the 1994 event. --\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52818653610296,"sku":"58483-600","price":199.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2849\/9768\/files\/Tamiya_Mini_Cooper_Rally_1994_RC_Car_110_M-05_Kit_58483-600_2.png?v=1787019857","url":"https:\/\/ozrc.com.au\/products\/tamiya-mini-cooper-rally-1994-rc-car-1-10-m-05-kit-58483-600","provider":"OZRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
