Tamiya Porsche 934 Jägermeister Limited Edition 40 Year Anniversary Model

[TWINSET]

Model No. 84431

 

2016 marks the 40th anniversary of the release of the Vaillant-liveried Tamiya Porsche 934 (Item 58001). It was the first ever Tamiya R/C car model and one which would kick off a major worldwide trend that still continues to this day. This kit is part of the celebrations of that anniversary, and recreates the 934 in distinctive Jägermeister livery. This highly detailed body runs on the short wheelbase and wide stance TA02SW chassis. The kit includes a plethora of option parts to make this a very special release.
 
The TA-02SW exhibits a short-wheelbase and has a wide track to accommodate the scale form of the real sports car. It normally features a tub chassis with 4-wheel, fully independent suspension coupled with a rear ball differential and a front gear type differential. This special edition is fitted with a double deck FRP chassis for increased rigidity.

Option Parts Included
Item 53142 Aluminium Motor Mount
Item 53166 FRP Chassis Set
Item 53194 FRP Rear Damper Stay
Item 54608 CC-01 Assembly Universal Shafts
Item 53152 Hard Propeller Shaft
Item 53193 FRP Front Damper Stay
Item 53806 Ball Diff Cup Joint for Universal Shaft
 
Features
The 934 is recreated stunningly in durable polycarbonate, with separate side mirror and wing parts. Separate light cases are also included.
Comes with an LED light unit to light up headlights and taillights for the ultimate realistic appearance.
The TA02SW chassis was previously used on the 911 GT2 Racing (Items 58172, 84399 and 47321). It offers a short (236mm) wheelbase and wide tread setup; similar to that so often employed by Porsche.
This kit uses the FRP chassis set, which transforms the chassis into a double deck unit using rigid and lightweight FRP material parts.
FRP front and rear damper stays ensure optimum performance from the CVA oil damper-fitted 4-wheel double wishbone suspension.
The stainless steel propeller shaft is highly durable and offers efficient transmission of power.
Includes front and rear assembly universal shafts, which come with ball diff cup joints.
Enclosed front and rear gear cases have built-in diff gears. The rear is fitted with a ball differential.
Comes with 2-piece wheels, tires and inner sponges. The rear of the model uses wide wheels.
Full ball bearings included.

Lol. I somehow dont think you mean the same 'shelf' as me. I suspect yours is more along the lines of shop shelf....

Looks just like a 934

I prefer the 1/12 TTG version,it`s more true to the 1:1 being RWD only and hidden body clips

I guess they can charge anything for it due to being a 40 year old model/release?

 

I've got the Tamiya Porsche 911 GT2 Club Sport TA02SW 84399 and only paid £88.22 brand new which is essentially the same car bar the shell and a few hop ups. Might look into getting this one though

Depending on what happens on June 23rd, it may not be worth it.

Definitely some panic buying on my part but to be honest I did very well not to get two!  I did check Tamico before I through my money at Modelsport and lets hope whatever happens on the 23rd the pound gets stronger so that we can continue to get shiny things cheap.  

 

As the 993 TA02's are still available I do wonder how limited these kits really are?

The pound isn't really the issue, if we leave there's no certainly what trade agreements will stand at that point and what happens to import duties being reintroduced. Could take years, could be the week after.

I agree but there are lots of variables and possible effects.   And apologies as I wasn't trying to get political, I was just expressing my hope that I can get more shiny things for my money whatever the outcome.  

 

Back to shiny things.....

[mond]

Hah! I want one myself. 

[johninderby]

I want one for my shelf.  

 

Apparently there are going to be two batches released to the UK. The first batch early September and the main batch some time later.

Found the info on another site, what does that mean? 

 

Quote

MODEL WILL BE RELEASED IN THE UK IN TWO BATCHES.  BATCH ONE, EARLY SEPTEMBER, BATCH TWO, MAIN DELIVERY. 

 

[johninderby]

Limited number released in the first batch and regular stock in the main delivery. Pre-orders will probably mean the first batch will be sold out on arrival. But plenty will be available later on so no problem  unless you really want one as soon as possible.

[ChrisT]

Thanks John.

 

I'm looking at ordering one nearer the time so I know what funds I have, just didn't want to miss out.

[ChrisT]

Another TA02SW Porsche being released.  Clicky

 

Looks like a ReRe of the discontinued 84399 ? Which I have on my shelf.
