Tamiya Porsche 934 Turbo RSR Vaillant (White Version)

Man, that's pretty!!

 

But that 6mm difference is really poor! Here's hoping it's fixed.

Here's one way to address the 230/236 issue;

Last time round, there was also someone selling custom chassis plates which spaced the gearboxes correctly, but that then made the centre driveshaft too long - The fix for that was either mod the centre shaft or the front and rear drive cups.

 

A couple of owners have designed and printed out replacement arms too, file on page 2

Shame Tamiya doesn’t do something extra special for an Anniversary. This one has been out one too many times, including the Tamico edition…

Yeh it will come painted gold with all the old faults still in it 

47477 Porsche 934 RSR Turbo 1976 Vaillant (White Version) 45th Anniversary (TA02SW chassis)

Of special note:

• Model specific packaging with blister packs.

• Photo-etched plaque.

• Printed commemorative message for the 45th anniversary of Tamiya RC cars by executive chairman Shunsaku Tamiya.

 

Basic specification:

• Length: 435mm

• Width: 202mm

• Chassis wheelbase: 236mm

• Body wheelbase: 230mm

• Full ball bearings (6x 850, 12x 1150, 2x 1260, 2x 1510)

• CVA II dampers

• BBS style 2-piece mesh wheels

• Wide rear tires

 

Included Hop-Up parts:

• Aluminium motor mount

• Hard propeller shaft

• Front and rear assembly type universal drive shafts

• FRP double-deck frame

• FRP damper stays

 

The above is from Mokei Kagaku - not sure if the specs for the body/chassis wheelbase are sarcasm or fact, but would be strange for a company to document an error.

Having said that, can't see too many of them being built if they've gone to the trouble of special packaging for this version over its predecessors.

I wish Id kept my Tamico one!

I just placed my order as I missed out on the Green 40th Ann version. I this going to be a limited release as well?
