The Tyrrell P34 is notable for its radical front-wheel concept and its role in F1 lore. Tamiya honours that legacy with a 1/10 scale R/C rendition modelled on the car that ran at the 1977 Monaco Grand Prix. The kit combines faithful styling with a chassis built to give an engaging drive experience.
Included is a pre-painted polycarbonate body that reproduces the race livery and features moulded items such as the driver torso, mirrors and rear wing. Components are arranged to make assembly straightforward while delivering an authentic finished look.
The car uses a modified F103 chassis with a half double deck and FRP plates to provide stiffness and stability. The front end has independent steering for each of the four small wheels using kingpin coil springs, and the rear suspension uses an FRP T-bar linked to a TRF damper to control movement.
The direct-drive arrangement drives the spur gear straight from the pinion for efficient power transfer. A ball differential offers limited slip characteristics to aid traction, and the torque-tuned motor supplies usable power for both display runs and club racing.
The Tamiya 47392 Tyrrell P34 is an excellent pick for model makers who appreciate historic racing engineering. Its level of detail and practical chassis design suit both display collectors and those who want to run a distinctive period F1 model.
