Tamiya Mini Cooper Racing and Mitsubishi Evo X remote control cars

Price: Mini £79.99 (kit only) or £169 (built), Evo X £99 (kit only) or £176 (built)

Check out this daring duo! Remote control firm Tamiya has added two new cars to its line-up – the Mini Cooper Racing and the Mitsubishi Evo X!

There’s a brand new chassis for the latest British baby, and improved weight distribution, which gives a perfect centre of gravity.

It also gets a fresh servo, receiver and Electronic Speed Controller positions.

The power pack and motor are located below the axle line, and Tamiya claims it’s the best handling model ever in its

M Series, thanks to precise steering. If you’re not a fan of the two-wheel-drive Mini, then try Tamiya’s four-wheel-drive Mitsubishi Evo X shell for the TT-01 Type-E framework.

It has a top speed of 28mph, although you can buy extra parts to boost this to a nippy 40mph!

The polycarbonate shell is incredibly detailed, and captures the aggressive lines of the Evo perfectly.

For extra realism, LEDs are included to depict head and tail-lights. Both cars are 1/10 scale.
