Tamiya 47359 - Retro Six-Wheel Tyrrell P34 1976 Japan GP Edition  [47359]

Classic Six-Wheeler Recreated for RC Fans

The Tyrrell P34 has earned a place in Formula 1 lore for its unusual six-wheel layout and clever engineering. Developed by Derek Gardner and raced in the mid 1970s, the P34 showed its potential with standout performances such as the strong result at the Swedish Grand Prix in 1976.

Racing Heritage and Track Moments

The P34 attracted attention at the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji Speedway, where changing conditions and fierce competition highlighted the car's strengths. This model reflects the No.3 car driven by Jody Scheckter, including signature details like the triangular net guard and pronounced rear wing panels.

Faithful Scale Engineering

The Tamiya 1/10 Tyrrell P34 1976 Japan GP Edition is built on a modified F103 chassis and uses a polycarbonate body to capture the original lines. The kit includes Hop-Up Option style parts such as a torque-tuned motor, sponge tyres, and TRF dampers to mirror period upgrades while improving on-track behaviour.

Build Appeal for Modellers and Racers

Whether you enjoy careful assembly or competitive sprint runs, the P34's six-wheel setup gives a distinct handling feel compared with conventional 4-wheel models. Its historic value and upgrade flexibility make this kit a rewarding addition for collectors and active RC racers alike.

This Tamiya Tyrrell P34 1976 Japan GP Edition is suited to hobbyists who appreciate period accuracy and a distinctive driving character, offering both display quality and real track potential.
