Capture Classic F1 Form in a Detailed 1/10 Scale Model

The Tamiya 84122 - 1/10 RC Lotus Type 79 recreates a milestone F1 car known for its ground-effect design. This kit brings the Type 79's distinctive bodywork and race pedigree to the F104W chassis for a faithful period model.

Chassis and Scale Accuracy

The F104W layout gives the wide track and stance that defined late 1970s Grand Prix machines. With F103 front arms and a clear polycarbonate shell, the model mirrors the original proportions while driver parts add authentic cockpit detail.

Customisable Setup for On-Track Use

Electronics are not included so you can fit a speed controller and motor to match your driving style. Popular upgrades include Tamiya's low friction pad for smoother handling and aluminum motor mounts for improved durability.

A Rewarding Build for Hobby Enthusiasts

Whether you favour tidy scale finishing or a turn-key race setup, the Lotus Type 79 offers a satisfying build experience and good potential on the track. It makes a strong addition to a collection of classic racing models.

This Tamiya Lotus Type 79 on the F104W chassis blends historical accuracy with the freedom to upgrade electronics and parts. It is suitable for model builders who enjoy both display work and track tuning.
