Tamiya | Porsche 956 Gr. C High Performance Racing Car (#47508)

Tamiya officially announced that it will release a new RC product at the end of October 2024 - a 1/10 scale 1982 Porsche 956 Group C racing car.

The Porsche 956 body shell is made from a new mold and is not a 1/12 RM replica. The body shell will be installed on an ABS disc chassis that is easy to assemble. The chassis adopts a space frame and FRP plate structure. This design has been used in the Group C models released by Tamiya in the past.

The unique long-tail body, front and rear light housings and tail wings are all individually molded from polycarbonate, and are equipped with black ABS plastic side mirrors and tail wing brackets. The chassis is based on an ABS disc structure, and the front and rear space frames and FRP panels are combined to form a composite design that provides a solid foundation for a smoothly operating suspension system, making the driving experience more agile and responsive. This new car is equipped with a Sport-Tuned motor (configurations may vary around the world) and uses a direct-drive structure. The gears and pinions are connected through a ball pressure plate differential to provide smooth performance when cornering.

The front wheel uses a closed disc wheel, the rear wheel uses a five-spoke wheel, and is equipped with high-grip sponge tires (the wheels need to be painted by yourself).
