The Alfa Romeo MiTo: A Compact Legend in R/C Form
In 2008, Alfa Romeo introduced the MiTo, a charming three-door hatchback crafted with Italian flair. Named after Milan, where its design was conceived, and Torino, its manufacturing home, the MiTo quickly garnered a global fanbase with its sporty performance and distinctive style. Now, Tamiya brings this icon to the R/C world with the 84134 model, an exquisite replica capturing the essence of the MiTo's sleek lines and dynamic presence.
A Stylish Reproduction with Realistic Details
Crafted from durable polycarbonate, Tamiya's R/C version of the MiTo features the same iconic shield-shaped grille and elegant curves synonymous with its real-world counterpart. The inclusion of separate light case parts enhances its realism, making this model a visual delight both on and off the track. The attention to detail ensures that collectors and hobbyists alike will appreciate its authenticity.
Performance Meets Precision: The M-05 Chassis
Underneath its striking exterior lies the M-05 chassis, known for its lightweight and narrow design, facilitating exceptional handling. This front-wheel-drive setup mirrors the real MiTo's dynamic behavior, ensuring that drivers enjoy stable high-speed cornering. The semi-monocoque resin frame efficiently houses the motor, gearbox, and electronics, optimizing weight distribution and maintaining a low center of gravity.
Ready to Run Right Out of the Box
For those eager to hit the road, the Tamiya 84134 comes fully assembled with a pre-installed R/C unit. It includes a wheel-trigger type transmitter, offering customizability through detachable grip and throttle trigger covers, ensuring comfort for all hand sizes. While the battery pack and charger are included for Japan, international buyers will need to source these components separately.
