Features
This R/C model assembly kit recreates the legendary Porsche 956, which was developed along with the start of Group C regulations for endurance races in 1982 and proved a dominant presence, taking maker and driver crowns in 1982 and then astonishingly winning all 7 races on the 1983 endurance circuit. The aerodynamically refined body is recreated in lightweight polycarbonate plastic, with plenty of detail provided by separate parts for the rear wing, head- and taillights. Stickers are included in the kit to recreate sponsor logos, body side pin stripes and more. Choose whether to finish your model as car #1, #2 or #3.
Based around an ABS plastic bathtub, with space frames front and rear and FRP plate, the chassis is a composite design that offers a rigid base to back up the fluid suspension: the result is a crisp, responsive drive. 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 CVA oil damper; teamed up with sponge tires front and rear, they ensure superb road holding. Additionally, use of spacers allows two different front and three rear ground clearance setups. The 2WD direct drive setup transmits power straight to the rear wheels via a spur gear, with a built-in ball differential giving limited slip diff effect.
The sleek 956 form is recreated by a polycarbonate body.
Headlights are separate polycarbonate parts. Paint them black and use the included stickers to finish them off.
Side mirrors are separately molded in plastic.
The main section of the wing is separately molded in polycarbonate. An optional Gurney flap lets you tweak downforce.
An upper space frame solidifies the front end. Choose between two ground clearance settings.
The front suspension uses kingpins and coil springs.
One-piece front wheels have aero discs, and are paired with sponge tires.
The gearbox rests atop an FRP T-bar, which is damped with a CVA oil damper in a rigid rear setup.
The 2WD direct drive setup has a spur gear with built-in ball differential. Choose between three ground clearance setups.
Grippy sponge tires are wider at the rear.
