The Tamiya Porsche 956 Group C (HC-47508) recreates the 1983 works Le Mans version of the iconic endurance racer. This 1/10 scale R/C assembly kit pairs a detailed, long-tail polycarbonate body with a direct-drive 2WD chassis to deliver crisp handling and responsive performance on smooth asphalt and carpeted surfaces.
The composite chassis combines an ABS bathtub, front and rear space frames, and FRP plates for rigidity. Up front, an independent coil-sprung king pin suspension keeps the nose planted, while the rear employs a rigid 3-point layout featuring a 1.5mm FRP T-bar and a single CVA oil damper to balance grip and stability. Power is transmitted via a spur and pinion to a ball pressure plate differential for smooth cornering, with high-grip sponge tyres providing confident traction. Ride height can be tuned using spacers, offering two front and three rear ground clearance settings.

Direct-Drive 2WD Chassis
Based around an ABS plastic bathtub, with space frames front and rear and FRP plates, the chassis is a composite design that offers a rigid base to back up the fluid suspension: the result is a crisp, responsive driving experience. At the front, it has an independent coil-sprung king pin suspension setup, while the rear rigid suspension is a 3-point design with a 1.5mm thickness FRP T-bar and single CVA oil damper; teamed up with sponge tires front and rear, they ensure superb traction on smooth asphalt and carpeted surfaces. Additionally, use of spacers allows two different front and three rear ground clearance setups.
