Tamiya's Six-Wheel Replica: Tyrrell P34 in 1/10 Scale

The Tyrrell P34 remains an iconic oddity in motorsport as the six-wheeled F1 car that raced in the mid 1970s and competed at Monaco in 1977. Tamiya's 1/10 reissue honours that design with a pre-assembled chassis and a painted polycarbonate body, letting enthusiasts enjoy the model with less assembly time.

Authentic Bodywork and Assembly

The kit features a pre-painted polycarbonate shell with separate wing, end plate and engine funnel pieces for accurate detailing. It is mounted on a modified F103 chassis to keep the P34's low front profile intact. The semi-double deck layout supported by FRP plates provides a stiff platform for handling and tuning.

Front End and Rear Stability

The front employs a kingpin coil-sprung layout that gives independent control to the four small front wheels, with steering consolidated to a single servo for consistent input. The rear T-bar rigid arrangement with coil spring and friction plates promotes steady tracking and dependable corner exits.

Usable Performance and Display Value

Functionality is built in via a ball differential for smooth drive and high-grip sponge tyres that suit a range of smooth surfaces. Whether set up for display or dialled in for club racing, the Tyrrell P34 reproduces the handling character of a vintage F1 design.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Length: 430mm
  • Width: 204mm
  • Height: 108mm
  • Chassis: Modified F103 with semi-double deck layout
  • Front Suspension: Kingpin coil-sprung, 4-wheel independent
  • Rear Suspension: T-bar rigid with coil spring and friction plates

The Tamiya Tyrrell P34 appeals to modellers who want a faithful historic replica that can also be prepared for track use with modest tuning.

Choose a reliable 2-channel radio, a mid-torque steering servo sized to fit the chassis, and an ESC matched to your motor and battery choice. A 7.2 or 7.4V pack is standard.
The six-wheel layout adds setup variables to front toe and camber, but the basic tuning process is familiar. Expect to spend time on steering feel and front tyre alignment.
Upgrades like higher quality sponge tyres, reinforced suspension parts and tuned differentials are common routes to better grip and longer component life.
Yes, the polycarbonate shell can be masked and repainted. Use polycarbonate-safe paints and light sanding only where recommended to keep the moulded details intact.
