  • While most people may not use the Tamiya Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler on any official track, we knew that the best way to test the limits of this F1 was to get it out an into its element!
    We headed to Cal Raceway in Orange, CA, for a fun day in the sun day - minus the sun. It was a bit overcast with track temps much lower than normal, but knew there would be quite a few people there and a good chance to go head-to-head with other F1 cars.
    Of course, the day didn't end well... You'll see how it all played out near the end of the video.
    Stay tuned for the online video build series and review coming soon.
    Enjoy.

      Right out of the box plus damper disc grease. Can't wait to see how it runs after a little tuning!

      We were quite surprised as well - and that's right out of the box. Want to do a little tuning to really see what kind of performance we can get.

    Here's to the hope that someone releases one in 1/24th scale.

    I do believe that if it had a more powerful motor, it could be so much better on the straights because it seems to be doing wonderfully around the turns

    • @Competitionx
      @Competitionx  2 місяці тому +1

      Agreed. We wanted to go easy on it at first so as to not crash it. However, we might drop in something a little more powerful now and see what it can do!

    I had one of these way back, bought it when a guy was getting out of RC and he practically gave it away. Took it to the track not expecting much, but after a few tweaks, the thing was hooked!! It was and still is one of the best handling little on road cars I've ever driven for what it was. The reissue should sell better than the originals, because of UA-cam!

    • @Competitionx
      @Competitionx  2 роки тому +1

      Agreed. It certainly surprised me how well it got around the track in stock form - even the kit motor! Like you said, it does need a few tweaks that I bet will make it a stellar car to drive!

      Well, the foam tires make a pretty big difference. However, it was the stock Mabuchi brushed motor against a field of brushless, so, yeah. it did well! Fun to drive as well!

      @Competitionx  2 роки тому +1

      Yup, was actually surprised it made it around that good with very minimal tuning - just made sure all of the linkages were straight. Some additional tuning (and maybe tire sauce) and it might be amazing to drive!
