Tamiya 47392 - 1/10 Tyrrell P34 Six Wheeler 1977 Monaco GP Special R/C Kit  [47392]

An Iconic Six-Wheeler: Tamiya's Tribute to the Tyrrell P34

The Tyrrell P34 remains one of the most innovative designs in Formula One history, known for its distinctive six-wheel configuration. Tamiya pays homage to this engineering marvel with its 1/10 scale R/C model, replicating the car that raced in the 1977 Monaco Grand Prix. This special edition model is not just a visual treat but a high-performance machine that offers an authentic racing experience.

Unmatched Detailing and Performance

Tamiya's 47392 kit features a meticulously crafted polycarbonate body, pre-painted to match the original race car's livery. The body includes intricate details like the driver torso, mirrors, and rear wing, making assembly straightforward and rewarding. The chassis is based on a modified version of the F103, optimized for the unique six-wheel setup, offering a driving experience unlike any other.

Innovative Chassis and Suspension Design

The model utilizes a half double deck frame with FRP plates, ensuring durability and stability. The front suspension system is particularly noteworthy, featuring a kingpin coil spring with independent front suspension for each of the four steerable wheels. The rear suspension employs an FRP T-bar connected to a TRF damper, providing excellent handling and control.

Power and Precision

Under the hood, the Tyrrell P34 boasts a direct-drive setup, where the spur gear is powered directly by the pinion gear. This efficient configuration is complemented by a ball differential, offering a limited slip effect for enhanced traction. The inclusion of a torque-tuned motor ensures high-level performance right out of the box.

The Tamiya 47392 Tyrrell P34 is a must-have for RC enthusiasts who appreciate historical race cars and innovative design. Its detailed construction and superior performance make it suitable for both collectors and racers looking to experience a piece of F1 history.
