TAMIYA PORSCHE 934 (1976) 50th ANNIVERSARY

Rewind back to 1976: the Porsche 934 was Tamiya first R/C car model. Based upon the Porsche 930 Turbo, the full-size car was developed to compete in international Group 4 sports car racing in that same year. Of the 31 examples produced of this dominant car, a number were run by private teams including that of Kremer Racing, which featured German air conditioning company Vaillant as its main sponsor, in a distinctive cobalt green livery that also featured their rabbit mascot. It took victory in Division 1 drivers’ standings for that season. The Tamiya R/C model was also massively popular, and we celebrate 50 years since its release with this special model featuring a realistic body and a chassis inspired by the full-size Porsche 934. RR chassis The original Tamiya model of the 934 paired a 1/12 scale plastic model body with a duralumin chassis and plastic deck for the R.C equipment; this 50th anniversary model has made the change to 1/10 scale and uses a lightweight polycarbonate body with a dedicated new chassis. Its reinforced plastic lower deck with integrated main and rear frames has the motor (sold separately) lengthwise at the rear-center powering the rear wheels much like on the real car. This model uses a 230 mm wheelbase, but the rear can be reconfigured to put it into a 251 mm wheelbase setup. The 4-wheel independent suspension uses front double wishbone and rear trailing arm setups with TRF dampers and stabilizers, while the drivetrain features multiple ball bearings and universal shafts for efficient drive.
