Tamiya Peugeot 306 Maxi with Blue Pre-Painted Bodyshell (BT-01)

The Tamiya Peugeot 306 Maxi with Blue Pre-Painted Bodyshell (BT-01) is a 1/10 scale 2WD rally car kit. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

Finished, it measures 404mm long with a 257mm wheelbase. The body is polycarbonate, so it takes knocks better than a hard shell.

Tamiya supply an electronic speed controller in the box.
