- MOST FUN RC BUILD IN A LONG TIME
In this video, I finally get the chance to finish my vintage Tamiya M-01 Chassis Rover Mini Cooper Monte Carlo. Unfortunately, bad planning on my part slowed down the build so we had to hit the road to find some PS paint. Like so many RC fans, heading off to the local RC store for a tin of paint results in me returning home with $100 in RC bits. This build did take a good few days to complete but it was a total joy and one of my favourite builds in a long time.

❤ you guys are great
yay Rebecca!
Thank you for sharing a good video with a nice car! 💯👍👍
I built this car when I was 11 or 12 back in ‘95 or ‘96. Painted British racing green, of course.
LMAO! That coffee spit out skit was gold with her age joke 😂
Nice that.
Mate it looks amazing. That shop was great I am glad you put that in the video
G'day Gavin! Thanks for showing the hobby shop. Very cool. Lucky you having it 18mins away!
Super lucky as it’s perfect for when I need to pick up supplies that I have totally forgotten about last minute 👍🏻
That looks gorgeous! I love classic Minis!
Wow I’ve never seen an RC shop stocked like that 😍 back to online shopping for me 🇦🇺
I have that model mini got mine done in British racing green it has also been a shelf queen.never ran apart from when I built it.
I about shit when you said we got our 7.5 turn motor at first thinking you were going to throw it in that thing lol
LOL I think it would just explode
Wow, you've done a bloody fantastic job of that Mini, it looks incredible! I love the grill and spotlights, superb. And SC Models is a fantastic shop, I've known Shaun for many, many years, a really nice bloke and if he hasn't got something that you want he'll probably order it for you. And I live really close to the new shop, about a 10 minute walk away....
Glad you like it!
Vary nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
It looks great Gav! I don't blame you at all for keeping that one pristine! I am very hopeful they release the new MB01 with this body set on it, I would grab one up right away!!
Yep putting the mini body on the new MB-01 would be cool
Nice video. Love the mini, having a runner and a shelf queen of them. I also designed and added an interior for it, need to paint still. 👍👍
good one like the shop tour , nice to see rabecca in frot off the camera
Will be stopping by SC models for sure! That new shop looks epic!
Drop me a message when you visit and if the car is free, I will pop down.
This came out amazing
Awesome 👏🏻
Bang tidy 👌 The Tamiya’s nice n’all
Awesome Gavin! I know licensing is always an issue but I do hope they bring out one of these again! Looks amazing and my dad owned a brand new red mini in England back in the day.
Tamiya scale body kits are flat out the best. So many modern rc's just look like clown cars or awful non licensed fakes. Tamiya is unrivaled in this aspect for sure. You bash your own paint jobs often, but damn, it's hard to do well and yours are pretty darn fantastic brother. Your shelf of vintage RC10s in the background is epic. A local store that stocks ps paint is a godsend. In my city there's literally 1 place that sells it and most online stores won't ship spray paint or batteries anymore.
Cheers.
100% get what your saying mate 👌
Awesome job mate 👍 SC model's owner is a great guy I have known him for year's he will always help when he can. Moving to the new bigger shop is a good thing as I live a round about away 😂
I live about a 10 minute walk from the new SC Models shop, I've known the owner for years too ;)
Definitely a stunner! The car isn't half bad either!😉😉😉
Stunning 🤩 Maybe one day they'll re-re this body on the MB01 🤪
Possible
@@RCKickschannelor re-re the BMW mini as well on the MB01
And chrome light bucket's.😤
Thats a beautiful little car. Nice job. 👍🏻
Thanks! 👍
Looks brilliant well done Gavin 😊Pete
Thanks 👍
I still run one of these with a very similar (maybe older) Acoms Techniplus! Works a treat, and makes you recall what it was like running them as a kid. Take it to a huge, wide open car park on a quiet day - worth it 100%!
Funny you say that, I was racking my brain to think of an open space big enough to give it a go. One day
Hahahahaha ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you two and the videoes 😂😂😂❤️ regardless the little mini turned out super amazing ❣️❣️❣️
Nice work. I have one on the M-03. It goes well. I just don't do vintage electronics though, all modern for me.
very nice 👍💪😊
Good and funny intro 😂 love it
Nice work. F1 car next?
Excellent job! One of my favorite kits 👍🏻 Need more Rebecca take over videos .
She’s super busy with her own work but I’ll try and get her on the show when I can
What a stunner. Yup, cars not bad either. So whats the trick with shooting clear over the roof masks Gav? Doesnt that block the colour coat any?
Boy, I know the feeling of having too many unfinished projects. Lol
My first Tamiya back in the 90s was Hotshot… 😂 omg that mechanical SC.. 😂 there is a grease for it..
Who is this woman? Brilliant
That would be Gavins lovely wife
Lucky my nearest model shop is over an hour away and I live in the uk.
Looks great. I'd love to find one of those for reasonable price. Enjoyed the build.
Not that easy currently but a Mini body on the new MB-01 Tamiya chassis would make for a good rere and Tamiya has an ongoing licencing agreement with BMW, so it could well be possible for Tamiya to do another Mk1 Mini body kit release.
My M05 version of this came with the standard rover decal sheet, and another for all the rally decals. Pretty sure it didn't have those half-tint windows. All the windows were multiple skinny trim pieces.
Would love to see you review the new FTX Stinger RTR looks a good bit of kit for especially for it's price point.
Dude at Ella's a funny video laugh out loud dude I think your wife do you have a cool White😂👍👍👍🍻
I have an actual 1968 Mini Cooper that I am restoring and would LOVE a RERE of this or the original M-01 kit.... I'd buy a couple at least....!!
Seems like ages ago since you bought the M-01 chassis, really good to see it finished and working, even if it stays on the shelf, it is difficult to get m-01/2 o pop arts though so I totally understand it. Very nice it looks stunning
Ps cheers for the shout ;)
Hi Andy, yep it’s been a while but it’s nice to tick it off and add it to the collection now it’s fully working and finished. 👍🏻👍🏻
I had a tamiya eunos roadster sitting on the shelf since around 2010 and I just got around to building it😂
I had never built a tamiya lexan body and wow those stickers are intense.
I do wonder if they hold up over time? Is it possible to clear the entire outside of the body with a gloss clear to help preserve them?
For the paint I would have gone BRG with a union jack on the roof. But I am a masochist
That looks amazing 👌 great job mate!! What's the green thing on the vintage battery mate 🤔 is it just a cover?? Love vintage Tamiya keep up the great work 👍
Yep just a rubber cover
I have about 20 projects in the build queue lol. I told myself not to buy anything else until I cut the number in half.
Happens to us all lol
It's a pity you don't get a rally interior.
Yep it could do with one. 959 interior could work
😀👍👍👍
First
Looser. First, more like only lol 👋
haha.... anyway, the M-01 Mini was the very first 'New' kit I ever bought. 1996 of course and it was my second ever pay check (first one went on a push bike)
@TomleyRC Cool, it’s really good looking and a fun one to experience. I’m super chuffed with it. It’s a shame we haven’t seen a reissue of these from Tamiya. Maybe one day 🤔
If we do see a reissue... I'm going full Italian Job on them :)
Not a BMW Mini part in sight. 😀
Hey, how many actual finished rc s do you own? Im curious. Youve got such a beautiful collection. Crazy yiuve put this together in 5 years. Serious coin...
Thanks. I did have about 120 but now down to around 85 ish
@@RCKickschannel that's still huge. Do you auction them off or trade em or something?
I bought two of the KYOSHO FAZER 69 CHEVROLET CAMARO Z28 VE , I was also tempted to buy the KYOSHO NISSAN SKYLINE 2000 GTR, but as that model version is the standard brushed motor and plastic centre drive shaft, i haven't been tempted enough to purchase that particular KYOSHO mode yet , or even the datsun 240 Z either for those two particular reasons of the plastic centre drive shaft and brushed motor only on those models, like the rest of kyosho fazer road car range 🤔 . I wonder did you really paint the mini , or did Rebecca really paint it 🤔 🤣
Hey, is this the body set I sold to you? Great to see it built
Yep 👍🏻
Will Tamiya re-release one?
A mini, not sure but it won’t be on an MB-01 chassis that’s for sure
Hahaha. 😂
Can you still get this kit? Can't find one anywhere.
Nope only secondhand
@@RCKickschannel I have a boxed Tamiya Mini Cooper Monte Carlo Rally 1994 that I bought from USA a few years back as I couldn’t find one over here. All still in original box and plastic bags with obviously the Mini Cooper Bodyshell. Was going to build and run or build as shelf queen but have kept it boxed
Hallo sir,saya ingin bertanya apakah ukuran tamiya m-chasis seukuran dengan wpl d12? Apakah body mini Cooper ini cocok jika di pasangkan pada wpl d12?😊
Sorry don’t known
Nice to see that your family dosent differce from my! Your wife does the jobb beter when you 🙂
I have an original m01 with the green box art of the standard issues. The ralley was the second release on the M01. Should have picked up a roll of the wide masking tape. Saves a lot of the thinner tape used for the roof masking.
Good day Sir. Im from South Africa. I can't get hold of a grill for my mini. Can you please help or redirect me to a place on the net to buy one. Thank you.
Local eBay would be your best bet
Who is,Charlie?

You know your driving in the wrong side of the road? AND the wrong side of the car. Jeez
The UK has been driving on the left side since it became mandatory in 1773, three years before USA was even founded. 🤔Topical unruly colonists 🙄😜
@@RCKickschannel Ohh i thought America invented, roads, Mercedes Benz and super fun RC car channels. Guess i was mistaken.Cheerio 🤣🏎🚓
LMAO 😂 never a good idea talking about your wife’s age early 30s for sure 😊
Old minis are horrible to drive.
why oh why such god awful "music"?
I put in what I like
