The Tamiya 47508 Porsche 956 Group C kit offers RC enthusiasts an opportunity to dive into the world of classic motorsport.

With its sleek design and advanced engineering, this kit is perfect for those who appreciate both history and high-performance RC cars.
Design and Build: A Tribute to Motorsport Excellence
The model's long-tail body is crafted from lightweight polycarbonate, ensuring durability while maintaining a realistic appearance. The front and rear light cases, along with the wing, are separately molded, allowing for a more authentic assembly process. Black ABS plastic side mirrors and wing stays add to the model's detailed finish, making it a standout on any track.
Chassis and Performance: A Blend of Precision and Power
Underneath its striking exterior, the Porsche 956 RC kit boasts a composite chassis, combining an ABS plastic bathtub with FRP plates and space frames. This design provides a rigid foundation complemented by a fluid suspension system, resulting in sharp, responsive handling. Powered by a Sport-Tuned motor, the direct drive setup includes a spur and pinion gear connected to a ball pressure plate differential, delivering smooth cornering and exceptional speed.
Tires and Wheels: Ready to Grip the Track
The kit features dish wheels at the front and 5-spoke wheels at the rear, paired with high-grip sponge tires designed to handle various on-road surfaces. While the wheels require painting, this provides an opportunity for customization, allowing hobbyists to personalize their model to their liking.
