FF rocket that made the 1990s rally scene exciting

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. The car’s silhouette is recreated by a polycarbonate body, with stickers included to add an original livery.

Features

• The racy form with bulging fenders is recreated by a polycarbonate body.
• Stickers are included to give the model its Tamiya original livery.
• Side mirrors are separately molded ABS plastic parts.
• The roof spoiler is also separately molded in ABS plastic.
• 6-spoke wheels are paired with semi-pneumatic tires.

Options Galore: the 2WD BT-01 Chassis

The 2WD BT-01 chassis gives a choice of two types of wheelbase, and front- or rear-wheel drive system. Without removing battery pack, motor and R/C equipment setups from the center 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. Unitized sections such as motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance.

Requires

• 2-channel R/C system
• Servo motor for steering
• R6/AA/UM3 batteries for transmitter
• Battery pack & charger
