About the Porsche 956
Realistic Design & Detailing
Tamiya’s Porsche 956 kit features an all-new polycarbonate body mold that faithfully reproduces the long-tail design of the original car. The separately molded front and rear light cases, wing, and side mirrors further enhance the realism, making this model a standout on any track. The attention to detail extends to the wheels, which include dish front and five-spoke rear designs that can be painted for a personalized finish.
High-Performance Chassis
Built for performance, the chassis of the Porsche 956 is a composite design combining an ABS plastic bathtub base with space frames and FRP plates. This rigid construction provides the model with a solid foundation to back up its fluid suspension system, allowing for crisp and responsive handling. Whether you're navigating tight turns or speeding down a straightaway, this chassis ensures a smooth driving experience.
Powerful Motor & Gear System
The kit comes equipped with a powerful 540 Sport-Tuned brushed motor, providing excellent speed and acceleration. The direct drive system, featuring a spur and pinion gear mated to a ball pressure plate differential, ensures smooth and controlled cornering performance.
