Tamiya 84263 Tyrrell P34 1977 Monaco GP F103 Classic Kit  [84263]

Iconic Six-Wheel Racing Reimagined

The Tyrrell P34 was a radical chapter in Formula One, and Tamiya 84263 brings that innovation into scale RC form. This model replicates the 1977 Monaco entry with faithful body lines and authentic decal choices for a genuine retro racing look.

Chassis Layout and Drive Traits

The kit utilises the direct drive 2WD F103 chassis with a semi-double deck arrangement for balanced rigidity. The upper 1.5mm FRP deck and the thicker 2.5mm lower deck work together to resist flex. A kingpin with coil spring front setup gives the four front wheels independent movement, steered by a single servo, while the rear T-bar, coil spring and friction plate combine for predictable rear-end behaviour.

Model Finish and Running Gear

Attention to scale detail is clear in the polycarbonate body and the decal sheet recreating the liveries of drivers like Jody Scheckter and Patrick Depailler. Sponge tyres front and rear deliver good traction on smooth surfaces, and the integrated ball differential in the spur gear helps manage power transfer with a limited slip effect.

Specifications

Tamiya 84263 is a faithful, buildable tribute to the P34, offering a rewarding assembly and a unique driving experience for scale aficionados and track hobbyists.
