Scale Rally Replica: Tamiya 47513 Peugeot 306 Maxi

The Tamiya 47513 Peugeot 306 Maxi brings a compact rally icon into a finished polycarbonate body that captures the original's presence. Placed on the BT-01 chassis, the model provides a reliable platform for both display and hands-on setup work.

What Makes the BT-01 Practical

The BT-01 uses a front motor with front-wheel drive to create predictable handling and simple serviceability. Its construction suits beginners learning setup basics as well as more experienced modellers seeking upgrade routes.

Peugeot 306 Maxi: The Rally Background

The Maxi enjoyed success in the mid-1990s with a 2.0-litre engine and competitive stage results, and this 1/10 scale kit celebrates that motorsport history while offering authentic styling cues.

Build Overview and Tuning Options

The body is supplied in Brilliant Blue ready for decals and trimming. A 540-Type Torque Tuned brushed motor and a Hobbywing ESC are included for initial running, giving you a starting point to refine suspension, steering and power delivery.

Do I need special tools to assemble the kit?

Basic modelling tools such as cutters, a hobby knife, screwdrivers and a small set of hex drivers are sufficient to assemble and trim the body correctly.

Is it straightforward to fit a brushless motor?

Fitting a brushless motor is possible with the correct 540-size replacement and matching ESC, though you should check mounting space and gear mesh before finalising the install.

How do I preserve the pre-painted finish?

Handle the body carefully when trimming, use clear protective films or tape on high-wear areas and touch up small chips with compatible paint if needed.

Can I enter this model in local club events?

Many local club classes accept scale touring and rally-style cars; check rules for permitted electronics and tyre choices before competing.

Where can I find setup advice for the BT-01?

Online forums and manufacturer setup guides are good starting points, and club peers often share spring rates, toe and camber notes that suit local surfaces.
