The Tamiya 49154 Tyrrell P34 Six Wheeler captures the distinctive six-wheel layout of the original 1977 machine, combining period-correct bodywork with an F103RS-derived chassis tailored for hobby use.
The purpose-adapted F103RS chassis accommodates the additional front wheels while using FRP construction to maintain a desirable balance of stiffness and flexibility. A single servo operates the four front wheels, producing coordinated steering inputs that echo the prototype.
While the silhouette is true to the original P34, the model benefits from updated suspension elements that aid handling. Independent coil springs at the front and an FRP T-bar arrangement at the rear, combined with a ball differential, help preserve traction and composure through corners.
Supplied with a sport-tuned motor and a 7.2V 1700MP battery, the model delivers scale-appropriate acceleration and steady throttle response suited to track sessions and static presentation alike.
Collectors and active builders will find the Tamiya 49154 Tyrrell P34 Six Wheeler an engaging project that combines historical appeal with usable driving characteristics.
