Tamiya 47428 - XB Tyrrell P34 1977 Monaco GP 1/10 RC Kit Historic Replica  [47428]

Historic Six-Wheeler Reissue by Tamiya

The Tyrrell P34 is a standout in motorsport history as the sole six-wheeled F1 contender to race at the highest level, including the 1977 Monaco event. Tamiya's 1/10 scale reissue recreates that distinctive package with a pre-assembled chassis and a painted polycarbonate body, letting enthusiasts enjoy period styling with minimal assembly.

Detailed Finish and Chassis Base

Tamiya provides a pre-painted polycarbonate body with separate wing, end plate and engine funnel components for authentic appearance. The model uses a modified F103 chassis to retain the P34's unusual wheel arrangement, and the semi-double deck with FRP plates ensures a stiff mounting platform for running or display.

Handling Concept and Steering Layout

The front arrangement employs kingpin coil-sprung units giving independent control to each of the four front wheels, while steering is consolidated to a single servo for simplified operation. The rear T-bar rigid arrangement coupled with coil spring and friction plates maintains rear stability under acceleration and cornering.

Practical Performance for Display or Track

Key performance parts include a ball differential for consistent drive and high-grip sponge tyres that suit smooth surfaces and indoor tracks. The model is equally at home in a display cabinet or set up carefully for vintage club events.

The Tamiya Tyrrell P34 combines faithful historic styling with components that can be tuned for genuine vintage racing or careful display.
