Tamiya 58746 Peugeot 306 Maxi - classic rally build

This Tamiya 58746 Peugeot 306 Maxi kit recreates a compact rally icon in 1/10 scale. The assembly process focuses on realistic styling and mechanical fidelity, making it a satisfying project for modellers who value authentic lines and tuning potential.

What the BT-01 chassis brings to the table

The BT-01 chassis is a simple, robust base built around a front motor, front-wheel drive layout. It is approachable for beginners and offers room to explore setup changes. You can alter gearing and steering linkages to try different drive characteristics and fine-tune grip.

Detailed bodywork and race-inspired styling

The polycarbonate shell reproduces the widened arches, roof spoiler and compact proportions typical of the Peugeot 306 Maxi. The supplied livery gives a race-ready look while keeping painting and decal work straightforward for custom finishes.

Setup pointers for track and road

Start with conservative steering and stock damper settings on smooth surfaces. For more precise control, tweak toe and camber and experiment with the friction dampers to reduce roll and improve cornering response.

Tamiya 58746 Peugeot 306 Maxi combines period looks with a chassis that encourages learning and modification, ideal for hobbyists who like to tune performance.

The kit is moderately easy. Basic modelling experience helps, but clear instructions and the forgiving BT-01 layout make it suitable for newcomers with patience.
You can change final gears and the steering linkage to alter driving behaviour, allowing practical experimentation with balance and traction.
A 7.2 to 7.4 volt battery pack is recommended; choose capacity and discharge ratings based on run time and desired performance.
Polycarbonate paint is straightforward if you mask and prep carefully. Use hobby spray paints designed for lexan and apply thin layers for best results.
Look at tyres, softer compound inserts and adjustable camber options to improve mechanical grip on tarmac surfaces.
