Tamiya 58746 Peugeot 306 Maxi - compact rally replica

This Tamiya 58746 Peugeot 306 Maxi kit captures the compact, aggressive look of a rally compact in 1/10 scale. It is aimed at enthusiasts who want authentic proportions paired with a practical chassis for testing setup changes.

Understanding the BT-01 chassis and setup

The BT-01 provides an accessible platform with a front motor and front-wheel drive bias. It is easy to work on and lets you experiment by changing gearing and steering link positions to alter handling balance between understeer and neutral behaviour.

Authentic body profile and race cues

The polycarbonate body recreates the Maxi's wide arches and roof spoiler, offering a convincing silhouette. The supplied decals and livery give a rally feel, while straightforward painting allows personal colour schemes.

Driver advice and tuning notes

Use conservative steering and damper settings when learning the car, then make incremental changes to tyre compound, camber and toe to refine corner entry and mid-corner traction on paved circuits.

The Tamiya Peugeot 306 Maxi 58746 offers period styling with a chassis suited to learning setup and making performance tweaks, appealing to both builders and track-day modellers.

Yes. With sensible tyre and suspension choices the model is well suited to club tarmac events and practice sessions.
Common upgrades include improved tyres, adjustable camber links and lighter alloy hop-up parts to sharpen handling and reduce drivetrain flex.
Regularly check for play, tighten ball connectors as needed and apply light thread lock to metal-to-metal fasteners to keep steering precise.
It is optimised for on-road use but modestly rough surfaces are manageable with softer tyres and slightly raised ride height to prevent bottoming out.
