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