Alpine A110 Jagermeister Classic Rally Tribute

The Tamiya Alpine A110 Jagermeister is more than a scale model; it celebrates a motorsport icon. Dressed in the vivid orange livery that made it famous on German tracks, this 1/10 scale kit channels the spirit of the Alpine A110, the car that secured a Monte Carlo win in 1971 and a World Rally Championship title in 1973. Its lightweight layout and rear engine gave it competitive edge, now faithfully represented in Tamiya's detailed kit.

M-06 Chassis: Rear Drive Balance and Road Focus

The M-06 chassis is built around rear-wheel drive dynamics, with a rear-mounted motor and longitudinal battery placement that promote even weight balance. This layout lowers the center of gravity and favours predictable on-road handling. A fully independent 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and hard 60D super radial rear tyres deliver accurate steering response and stability at speed.

Scale Accuracy and Trim Details

Tamiya preserves the Alpine's authentic appearance using a 1.0mm polycarbonate body plus separate ABS parts for headlights, bumpers and mirrors. Silver dish wheels capture the period look, while decal sheets reproduce original sponsor graphics and race numbers, giving builders a rewarding assembly with true-to-era detail.

The Tamiya Alpine A110 Jagermeister on the M-06 chassis suits collectors and track-minded hobbyists alike, blending historic style with a chassis tuned for confident road performance.

The rear motor layout and low battery position reduce nose lift under acceleration, making the car track straight and stable on tarmac or smooth club circuits.
The kit needs careful assembly but includes clear instructions; it is suitable for newcomers who want to learn as well as experienced builders who enjoy detailing.
Yes, swapping to a higher torque servo, a brushless motor and a suitable speed controller will improve lap times while keeping the M-06 handling traits.
Use polycarbonate-specific paints such as Tamiya PS series for smooth coverage and adhesion; mask carefully for the multi-colour Jagermeister scheme.
