Unleashing the Tamiya 47513 Peugeot 306 Maxi: A Tribute to Rally Legends
The Tamiya 47513 Peugeot 306 Maxi is more than just a radio-controlled model; it's an homage to rally racing legends. With its expertly crafted polycarbonate body, this model captures the essence of the renowned Peugeot 306 Maxi, celebrated for its rally victories in the mid-90s. The BT-01 chassis serves as the foundation, offering flexibility and adaptability for both novice and seasoned RC enthusiasts.
Why the BT-01 Chassis Stands Out
The BT-01 chassis is engineered for versatility and growth. It features a front motor, front-wheel-drive configuration that mirrors the real-world dynamics of the full-size Peugeot 306 Maxi. This setup is not only beginner-friendly but also allows for future customization as your skills improve. The adaptable wheelbase and drivetrain options mean you can experiment with different setups, whether you prefer front or rear-wheel drive.
A Closer Look at the Peugeot 306 Maxi Legacy
The Peugeot 306 Maxi is a legend in the rally world, known for its 2.0-liter engine delivering 280hp. Its success on the rally circuit, including notable wins in France and Monte Carlo, has cemented its place in motorsport history. This RC model pays tribute to that legacy, allowing you to experience a piece of rally heritage in a 1/10 scale format.
Assembly and Customization: A Builder's Delight
While the body comes pre-painted in a stunning Brilliant Blue, the assembly kit offers plenty of room for personalization. From applying stickers to adjusting the suspension, every aspect of the build process is designed to engage and challenge hobbyists. The inclusion of a 540-Type Torque Tuned brushed motor and a Hobbywing ESC provides reliable performance right out of the box.
