Tamiya #58708 1/10 1973 Alpine A110 Jägermeister M-06 Chassis

A Class Act
The Alpine A110 was a French compact coupe featuring a lightweight FRP body based upon a steel backbone, rear-wheel drive chassis with the rear-mounted inline-4 engine positioned longitudinally. Production continued from its debut year 1963 until 1977, and the A110 attained motor racing fame after victory in the 1971 rally in Monte Carlo. In 1973, this car become the first world rally champion and its Jägermeister orange version achieved a class victory in German circuit races. This is an R/C model assembly kit of such an Alpine A110, its polycarbonate body realistically capturing the distinctive 2-door coupe form in style. Stickers are included to recreate sponsor logos, race numbers and more. The model uses the rear-wheel drive M-06 chassis (210mm wheelbase setup) featuring a rear-mounted motor.

★The compact, flowing form of the A110 is sumptuously recreated in polycarbonate.    

★Separately molded plastic parts help give the headlights and inner driving lamps a highly realistic finish.    

★Side mirrors are also separately molded plastic parts. Mirror surfaces are recreated using metal-plated parts.

                ★Left: Stickers are used to depict taillight detail, the engine hood air ducts, and other details across the car.

★Right: Dish type wheels really finish off the model's look, with gold color discs. Tires have molded tread pattern.

Great RR Performance from the M-06
The M-06 chassis features a rear-mounted motor, rear-drive setup and has a longitudinally-mounted battery pack, with R/C equipment positioned on either side for optimum balance and a low center of gravity. 4-wheel double wishbone suspension uses dish design wheels, equipped with 60D radial tires at the front and 60D super radial (hard) tires at the rear. In addition, a 3-piece steering linkage offers nimble handling response.

★The M-06 chassis' three-piece steering linkage ensures you have great control and direct steering feel.
