Tamiya 84260 - Tyrrell P34 1/10 Scale RTR Six-Wheeler F103  [84260]

Historic F1 Styling in Scale Form

The Tamiya 84260 Tyrrell P34 captures the character of the 1977 Monaco Grand Prix car in a 1/10 ready-to-run model. Its distinctive six-wheel profile makes it a standout piece for scale collectors as well as active RC drivers who enjoy vintage designs.

Underpinnings: The F103 Chassis Explained

Under the body sits the F103 chassis, chosen for its efficient direct drive 2WD layout and predictable handling. The semi-double deck construction features a 1.5mm upper FRP plate and a 2.5mm lower FRP plate to give a sound balance of stiffness and weight.

Front and Rear Suspension Details

The front uses a kingpin coil spring tied into a 4-wheel independent suspension system, all moved by one servo for compact steering control. The rear employs a rigid T-bar with a coil spring and friction plate to stabilise traction and cornering behaviour.

Electronics and Power Requirements

The kit comes fitted with a Finespec 2.4GHz radio system and a TEU-105BK ESC with BEC, plus a 540-size motor. You will need to source a 7.2 Volt battery pack, a charger, and AA batteries for the transmitter separately.

The Tamiya Tyrrell P34 blends authentic period looks with a reliable chassis package, making it a great option for those wanting a classic F1 model that is ready to drive and tune.
