Tamiya 47486 1/10 Tyrrell P34 Six Wheeler 1977 Argentine GP

 

1976 saw the dawn of the P34, Tyrrell's wonderfully inventive six-wheeled car with four smaller front wheels, that backed up its looks with solid results such as an impressive one-two finish for the team at the 1976 Swedish GP. At the 1977 season-opening Argentine GP, the P34 had a fully-cowled body adorned with a blue and white livery and First National City bank as a sponsor; that car is recreated by this 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. The body is injection molded in detailed yet durable plastic, with upper cowl sections molded in white and side pontoons in blue. Stickers are included for depiction of either of Peterson's number 3 or Depailler's number 4 cars, complete with Goodyear tire logos - just apply the stickers, and the body is ready!

 

The high performance direct drive 2WD chassis utilizes a semi double deck frame with 1.5mm thick upper and 2.5mm thick lower FRP plates. Kingpin coil spring 4-wheel independent front suspension consists of the one-piece lower arm and individual left/right upper arms. One servo controls the steering of all four front wheels. The rear suspension features a rigid T-bar with coil spring and low-friction pads. The spur gear has a built-in ball diff for limited slip effect. Grippy sponge tires masterfully harness the power provided by the motor.
