Tamiya 47486 Tribute to the Six-Wheel P34

Collectors and club racers will appreciate the Tamiya 47486 Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler 1977 Argentine GP Limited Edition as a faithful miniature of a radical F1 design. The kit highlights the P34's signature six-wheel concept at true 1/10 scale for display and running sessions.

Historic Design That Changed Handling

The P34's extra front wheels were aimed at improving front grip and reducing lift. The 1977 Argentine GP example used a fully cowled body, a detail replicated in this kit to reflect the period-correct look rather than the earlier cockpit openings.

F103 Platform and On-Track Behaviour

Built on the simple and serviceable F103 chassis, the model is 2WD but delivers a different steering feel because of the four small front tyres. The RS-540 Sports Tuned Motor gives reliable performance and the sponge tyres help with predictable traction on carpet or smooth asphalt surfaces.

Custom Finish and Setup Advice

Enthusiasts can personalise gear ratios, paint finishes with Tamiya TS colours, and suspension settings to their preference. The kit includes clear assembly guidance so you can focus on finishing and dialling in the setup.

Assembly time varies by skill, but expect several evenings for careful painting, decal work, and setup if you aim for a neat finish.
Upgrades like improved bearings or a higher quality servo can enhance responsiveness, though the stock parts are fine for display and casual running.
Tamiya TS lacquers are recommended for a durable, authentic finish; use proper masking and thin coats to preserve detail.
