Tamiya 84111 Tyrrell P34 F103 Six-Wheel Replica Kit  [84111]

Tyrrell P34 Historic Replica in 1/10 Scale

The six-wheeled Tyrrell P34 is a singular chapter in Formula 1 history, notable for being the only car with four front wheels to race at the top level. Designer Derek Gardner aimed to cut drag and improve braking with smaller front tyres while keeping the contact patch needed for grip. The car first raced at the 1976 Spanish GP and later secured a memorable 1-2 in Sweden with Jody Scheckter and Patrick Depailler.

From Grand Prix to Backyard Track

Tamiya translates that engineering novelty into a 1/10 scale kit built on the F103 chassis. The model includes a detailed polycarbonate body showing the exposed engine bay cues and fits rubber tyres to keep an authentic appearance. A Type 540 motor is supplied so the kit can be made running with your own radio and battery choices.

Detailed 1976 Japanese GP Presentation

This edition matches the P34's appearance at the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix, complete with the triangular net guard on the air funnel and the unique rear wing tip panels used at Fuji. Despite wet weather during the event, the car delivered notable on-track action, with Depailler charging forward to finish second.

Why Add the Tamiya P34 to Your Collection

This Tamiya kit is for hobbyists who enjoy a build with historical significance and an unusual drivetrain layout. The six-wheel arrangement changes the handling character from standard four-wheel models, making it a talking point on the shelf or at the track.

The Tamiya Tyrrell P34 is a great pick for enthusiasts who value accurate reproductions and a distinctive driving experience in RC form.
