Rebuilt Racing History with Tamiya 47486

Hobbyists and vintage racing fans will find the Tamiya 47486 Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler 1977 Argentine GP Limited Edition an accurate nod to a bold F1 experiment. This kit captures the distinctive six-wheel silhouette and period styling in compact 1/10 form.

Distinctive Six-Wheel Concept Explained

The six-wheel approach targeted improved front grip and streamlined airflow. The 1977 Argentine GP iteration used a full cowl body rather than the earlier cockpit style, a nuance faithfully modelled by Tamiya for authenticity.

Drive Components and Handling Notes

Using the straightforward F103 chassis, the kit is configured as 2WD yet produces a unique steering characteristic because of the additional front wheels. The RS-540 Sports Tuned Motor supplies spirited power while sponge tyres support steady traction across typical club surfaces.

Build Guidance and Personal Touches

This assembly kit encourages hands-on adjustments such as gear ratio changes and custom paint choices with Tamiya TS paints. The instructions are written to help modellers achieve precise assembly and a neat finish.
