In the world of Formula One, few cars have been as groundbreaking as the Tyrrell P34. Introduced in 1976, this radical six-wheeled race car was a sight to behold, capturing the imagination of racing fans worldwide. Tamiya has brilliantly captured the essence of this iconic vehicle with their 1/10 scale RC model, replicating the version that competed at the 1977 Monaco Grand Prix. This limited item is not just a nod to history but a testament to innovative design in RC modeling.
The Tamiya 84263 features a high-performance direct drive 2WD chassis with a semi-double deck layout. The upper deck is crafted from 1.5mm thick FRP, while the lower deck boasts a sturdier 2.5mm thickness. This robust construction ensures stability and durability during high-speed runs. The kingpin and coil spring front suspension system offers a four-wheel independent setup, controlled by a single servo for precise steering of all front wheels. At the rear, a rigid T-bar suspension with a coil spring and friction plate provides excellent handling.
Every detail of the Tyrrell P34 has been meticulously recreated, from its polycarbonate body to the included stickers that represent the cars driven by Jody Scheckter and Patrick Depailler. The model is equipped with high-grip sponge tires on both the front and rear, ensuring optimal traction on various surfaces. The addition of a built-in ball differential within the spur gear enhances the driving experience by providing a limited slip effect, crucial for maintaining control during tight maneuvers.
The Tamiya 84263 Tyrrell P34 is a remarkable piece for collectors and racers alike. Its historical significance, coupled with Tamiya's engineering prowess, makes it an ideal choice for those looking to own a piece of racing history or compete in RC circuits with a unique edge.
