Tamiya Porsche 956 - A better wheel design.
5 wheeled car.
Eh?
I'll explain, I've been making these prototypes to fit many options requested by Group C builders. The stock kit wheels in the Tamiya 956 are all but fantastic, they're wheels. The front is passable but too wide for there and the rear is a 5 spoke with mount holes visible. Not really up to the detail levels most people like. So as pat of the on-going P956 Details Kit, I've wheels done!
Front wheel 24mm - Stock kit foam tyre
Front wheel 30mm - Rear foam Tamiya F104 tyre
Front wheel 30mm - Beaded for Tamiya F1 Rubber front tyre
Rear wheel 45mm - Stock kit foam tyre
Rear wheel 35mm - Beaded for Tamiya F1 Rubber rear tyre
PLUS:
Aero/vent/fancy/cover disks for both fronts and rears
Centre boss with nut detail for rear wheel
Valve stems

Tamiya Porsche 956 details Kit plans.

So, the Tamiya 956 kits are gradually landing. My stock was delivered this week so I could already get a kit opened and start to look at the potential for detailing parts. There are some parts that jump out at me as really worthy upgrades and some other more subtle parts that might even go unnoticed. This isn't an unboxing video, it's just me running though some ideas and comparison of what cou...

While we haven't exactly set the tarmac ablaze with speed this week, I must admit, the car is an absolute joy to drive. It’s like the automotive equivalent of sipping a fine wine. Smooth, refined, and completely unbothered by trivial concepts like haste. It’s not so much about getting there quickly as it is about arriving in style, with the car quietly whispering, "Relax, we’ll get there when w...

I had an unexpected opportunity to test the Radiolink setup on the car this evening. I did touch 45mph but nothing official set yet. Still some settings or finger tweaks to work out for the acceleration and braking. I did set myself the 2WD challenge as it's an LMP of sorts. So I'm sticking to that setup, dropping in the front diff and making a driveshaft would possibly be the best way forward ...

The Poor Boys Speed Challenge 2024 is a fun little thing for RC crazies around the world to set speed records.

    I bought and applied your full C11 detailing kits and they really do add some scale authenticity to that car. I would definitely be interested in adding as many detailing parts to the 956 as possible, including diffuser and wheels/tyres if you make them. Going to hold fire on the authentic sponsor decals, as the upscaling nearly doubles the price. The supplier may in time make a dedicated 1 1/0 scale version. Keep up the good work

    Will you try a clipless body? It’s pretty easy to stack neodymium magnets on the body posts and have a stub of the post to interface with the magnets on the body. It works quite well for on road RC’s. The new 911 Dakar rally pack livery has “Roughroads” the replace the cigarette brand which is a bit silly

    • @Rob_NABS
      @Rob_NABS 13 днів тому

      You're right. Can be got away with but digging through the kit this morning I realised the mounting system for the 5 spoke is really not nice, piercing a spoke. The C11 6 spoke rim is much nicer. So sourcing C11 wheel sets could be an option but I'm guessing they're as rare as hens teeth. Also the Group C front rims are too wide for the supplied foams. So making my own, I can fix that. I've already a couple of options in my head to get around all this, neither are BBS as I personally don't like BBS wheels. Odd huh? :D

    A two-piece front wheel would be a nice addition to the car. So if you are planning to add them to your detailing kits, I'd be in for a set. And, who knows, if Tamiya notices that group C cars are a thing again, they might eventually release a Mazda 787B again? This one also had wheel covers iirc. If they are the same as with the Porsche, you would have done some work in advance. 😉

    You really needed a longer road, Rob. Even I found a 200+ meters road in one of the most mountainous country in Europe, so in the "plat pays" ("flat country" as it's called), it should be possible 😅 Please try that, as this car is so good looking, it's a shame not to send it to the insane speed it should go. Anyway, it was awesome to see. Thanks for that ✌🤝

    • @Rob_NABS
      @Rob_NABS Місяць тому

      Oh, we do have roads here :) The problem is, we have Belgian roads. They are pretty terrible. even the new ones are typically fitted with inspection covers that aren't flush with the surface. Otherwise it's concrete slab roads that have an expansion joint every 6metres or so. To venture further away, like Holland for example (where they have read books on laying roads) just hasn't been able to happen, too many things going on to drive an hour ro get 5 mins running. I'll keep the car for the next opportunity though, it will go a lot faster, that's for sure.

    If it drives anything like a TT02, then you're still in the wobble zone at 45mph. Once you punch through that and point the car straight, it should correct itself. What oils are you running in your diffs? Try easing into the throttle and see if it cuts. Once you get to a certain point, the voltage sag will cause a power cut and ruin your run. I just did this last night knocking the rust off 👍 ..went from 82mph to 97mph😄
