Tamiya 84111 Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler F103 Kit  [84111]

Tyrrell P34 Brought to Life in 1/10 Scale

The Tyrrell P34 is a notable milestone in Formula 1 history as the only six-wheeled car to race in the championship. Derek Gardner's design used four smaller front tyres to reduce aerodynamic drag while keeping the front contact patch, aiming to improve braking and cornering. The P34 debuted at the 1976 Spanish Grand Prix and later posted a memorable 1-2 at the Swedish Grand Prix with Jody Scheckter and Patrick Depailler.

Race Heritage Rendered for RC Tracks

Tamiya captures that same spirit with the 1/10 scale kit, mounted on the F103 chassis. The model features a detailed polycarbonate body that exposes the engine bay styling and fits rubber tyres for a realistic look and feel. A Type 540 motor is included so the chassis performs like a proper runner once fitted with your radio gear and battery.

Replica of the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix Livery

This release reproduces the P34 as campaigned in the 1976 Japanese GP, including the triangular net guard on the air funnel and the characteristic rear wingtip panels seen at Fuji Speedway. Even in wet conditions the car's performance made it a standout, with Depailler climbing from 13th to a strong second place.

What Makes This Kit Worthwhile

For RC hobbyists the Tamiya Tyrrell P34 offers a mix of historic interest and an unusual driving setup. The six-wheel layout delivers a different handling feel compared to conventional four-wheel models, making it appealing to collectors and track-focused drivers who want something distinctive in their stable.

The Tamiya Tyrrell P34 is a standout addition for anyone who appreciates motorsport history or wants an eye-catching model to run on the track or display in a collection.
