Peugeot 306 Maxi white kit AV52899

The Avant Slot Peugeot 306 Maxi arrives in White Kit format for those who want to build and decorate their own rally slot car

The reference AV52899 is Avant Slot's proposal for modellers and competitors who prefer to start from scratch: a white undecorated body and a complete chassis ready to assemble, adjust, and personalise thoroughly. The final result depends on your skills, and that is precisely the appeal of a white kit.

• Injected white body with no applied decoration, ready for painting and decals.
• Complete kit: includes motor, axles, wheels, and transmission, among other necessary mechanical components for assembly.

Scale, detail, and painting surface

The body of the 306 Maxi reproduces the proportions of the original with the usual precision of Avant Slot in its resin models. The white surface provides a neutral and uniform base that facilitates both airbrushing and brush painting with brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido. The lines of the body help define areas and facilitate the placement of decals with clean and realistic results.

Track performance

The chassis of the AV52899 is one of the most valued on the national rally slot circuit. Its geometry allows for agile cornering and stable behaviour even on twisty sections, typical of rally layouts. The included mechanical set is balanced so that the car is ready for competitive conditions from the outset, although it can always be adjusted according to regulations or the driver's preferences.

Ideal for…

• Modellers who enjoy painting and decorating their own slot cars.
• Rally slot competitors who prefer to build the vehicle from scratch to control every detail of the setup.
• Enthusiasts who want to replicate a historical livery or create a completely original decoration.
• Collectors looking for the purest version of the model to customise.

Aspects to consider

As this is a white kit, the body arrives without any finish or decoration. It is necessary to have the appropriate painting materials and decals to complete the model. Assembly requires some basic experience with slot cars, although the kit is designed to make the process as straightforward as possible thanks to the mechanical reliability characteristic of Avant Slot.

History: the Peugeot 306 Maxi and the golden era of Kit Cars

In the mid-1990s, the Kit Car category revolutionised world rallying by demonstrating that all-wheel drive was not necessary to win on tarmac. The Peugeot 306 Maxi was the most extreme expression of that philosophy: a front-wheel-drive touring car transformed into a competition beast with a 2.0 engine producing over 280 hp, a widened body, and completely redesigned suspension.

Its favourite stage was the Corsica Rally, the cathedral of technical tarmac, where drivers like Gilles Panizzi and François Delecour proved that the 306 Maxi could seriously challenge the WRC cars of the time. The narrow, winding roads, the chained hairpin turns, and the stone walls just inches from the tarmac provided the perfect environment for this car to shine. It also excelled in the San Remo Rally, another classic tarmac event in the world championship.

The image of the 306 Maxi with its oversized wings, the roar of its atmospheric engine, and the controlled dance of its front end is etched in the memory of a whole generation of rally fans. This white kit from Avant Slot is the opportunity to revisit that history with your own hands.
