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

Recreated Six-Wheeler: Tamiya 47428 - XB Tyrrell P34

The Tyrrell P34 stands out in racing lore as the only six-wheeled Formula 1 entry to compete at the top level. Debuting mid 1970s and seen at Monaco in 1977, its compact front wheels made it instantly recognisable. This 1/10 reissue captures those traits and comes with a pre-assembled chassis and painted polycarbonate shell for straightforward ownership.

Scale Accuracy and Finished Bodywork

Tamiya delivers a detailed finish with a pre-painted polycarbonate body that separates the wing, end plate and engine funnel elements for scale realism. The model is mounted on a modified F103 chassis to keep the P34's distinctive six-wheel stance. A semi-double deck with FRP plates gives structural rigidity for spirited driving.

Steering Setup and Suspension Notes

The front end features a kingpin coil-sprung system that lets each of the four small front wheels operate independently, with one servo handling steering duties for simplicity. At the rear the T-bar rigid arrangement with coil spring and friction plates supports stable rear-end behaviour on tight circuits.

Real-World Handling and Use

Beyond looks, the model includes a ball differential for steady power delivery and high-grip sponge tyres that suit indoor and smooth outdoor surfaces. It is suitable for display at home or for careful running at club tracks where historic models are welcomed.

For enthusiasts who appreciate classic racing designs, the Tamiya Tyrrell P34 combines collectible scale detail with components that can be tuned for track outings.
