Tamiya RC Peugeot 306 Maxi - Pre-Painted Limited Edition - BT-01 - Item #47513

1/10 Scale 2WD

This radio-controlled model assembly kit recreates the Peugeot 306 Maxi with a stunning and highly detailed polycarbonate body that comes pre-painted in blue for this limited-edition release. The kit is based on the beginner friendly and highly customisable BT-01 chassis, which allows hobbyists to grow as their driving and building skills develop. Like the full-size car it depicts, the chassis configuration on the BT-01 chassis is set up in the front motor, front drive configuration for unparalleled realism.

Here is another R/C kit paired with the 2WD BT-01 chassis which offers choices of FF/MR/FR drive system; this time, a standard wheelbase, front motor / front wheel drive (FF) setup with the body which recreates the Peugeot 306 Maxi. Based upon the FF hatchback Peugeot 306, the Peugeot 306 Maxi was developed with dedicated components for rallying.

A 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated engine in front was capable of 280hp, and the car had enlarged fenders, roof spoiler, and a lightened body. Including the victories in 1996 and 1997 rally races in France, this car achieved many racing successes such as the class championship in the 1996 rally in Monte Carlo and third place in the 5th and 6th races on the 1997 global rally circuit. This R/C model assembly kit is inspired by such rally champions.

About the BT-01 Chassis:
The 2WD BT-01 chassis gives the choice of two types of wheelbases, and front-or rear-wheel drive system. Without removing the battery pack, motor, and R/C equipment setups from the centre frame, simply change attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front-and rear-wheel drive; front (FR) or midship rear (MR) motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Unitised sections such as the motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance.
