The Tamiya 84260 Tyrrell P34 reproduces one of F1s most unusual machines in 1/10 scale. This ready-to-run version is aimed at hobbyists who value period authenticity alongside straightforward mechanical layout and handling characteristics.
Built on the tried-and-tested F103 chassis, the car uses a direct drive 2WD arrangement that keeps drivetrain losses low and steering predictable. The semi-double deck frame combines a 1.5mm upper FRP plate with a 2.5mm lower FRP plate to maintain rigidity under load.
The front suspension employs a kingpin coil spring tied into a 4-wheel independent setup, all managed by a central servo for compact control. The rear adopts a rigid T-bar design with coil spring and friction plate to support balance and traction on corner exits.
Included are a Finespec 2.4GHz radio system, TEU-105BK ESC with BEC, and a 540-size motor. You will need to add a 7.2 Volt battery pack, a charger, and AA batteries for the transmitter to start driving.
Tamiya's Tyrrell P34 balances display-grade detail with accessible RC mechanics, making it a favourite for modders and period collectors who still want to put in track time.
