Tamiya 47486 - 1/10 Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler Collector Kit  [47486]

Six-Wheel Legend Recreated by Tamiya 47486

For modellers and racers who appreciate classic F1 engineering, the Tamiya 47486 Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler 1977 Argentine GP Limited Edition brings a famous racing oddity to life. This kit focuses on the distinctive six-wheel layout that made the P34 memorable on the 1977 grid.

Why the Tyrrell P34 Still Turns Heads

The Tyrrell P34 introduced an unconventional six-wheel concept aimed at improving front-end traction and reducing aerodynamic drag. This 1977 Argentine GP variant uses the full cowl body style rather than the earlier cockpit window treatment, and Tamiya has captured those period details at 1/10 scale for enthusiasts and collectors.

Chassis and Drive Details

The model is built on the F103 chassis, prized for straightforward assembly and reliable handling. Although the kit is a 2WD layout, the extra front wheels change steering feel, and the included RS-540 Sports Tuned Motor supplies competitive power for club track or display use. High-grip sponge tyres add predictable traction.

Assembly and Personalisation Tips

As an assembly kit, this Tyrrell P34 invites hands-on tuning. Builders can tweak gear ratios, pick finishing colours with Tamiya TS paints, and fine-tune suspension settings to match driving preferences. The instructions are clear, so hobbyists can enjoy both the build and setup process.

Whether you display it on a shelf or tune it for a nostalgia run, the Tamiya Tyrrell P34 offers a rewarding build experience and a slice of 1970s racing innovation for any RC collection.
