Alpine A110 Jagermeister - A Compact Rally Classic

The Tamiya Alpine A110 Jagermeister faithfully recreates a compact rally legend in 1/10 scale. Presented in the distinctive orange livery, this model echoes the Alpine A110's racing history, including its Monte Carlo success in 1971 and WRC prominence in 1973. Tamiya's reproduction emphasises the car's light structure and rear-engined layout.

M-06 Chassis Dynamics and Weight Placement

The M-06 platform features a rear-mounted motor with the battery positioned longitudinally to optimise weight distribution toward the rear axle. This setup lowers the centre of gravity and encourages neutral on-road handling. The fully independent double wishbone suspension and hard 60D super radial rear tyres provide measured feedback and stable cornering behaviour.

Authentic Styling and Component Quality

Tamiya supplies a 1.0mm-thick polycarbonate body plus separate ABS detailing parts for headlamps, bumpers and mirrors to capture the Alpine's look. Silver dish wheels and an accurate decal set reproduce period sponsor markings and race numbers for a convincing finished model.

The Tamiya Alpine A110 Jagermeister on the M-06 chassis makes a fine addition for model collectors and track-focused RC drivers who value period accuracy and a tunable rear-drive platform.

Yes, with careful setup such as tyre selection, gearing and a tuned servo the M-06 can be competitive at club level on paved tracks.
Basic modelling tools, a hobby knife, small screwdrivers, pliers and polycarbonate-safe paints are needed to assemble and finish the body correctly.
The M-06 is optimised for on-road use; while it will handle smooth mixed surfaces, loose gravel or grass will reduce traction and control compared with tarmac.
Apply decals to a clean, dry body and use a decal softener if needed; sealing with a clear lacquer designed for polycarbonate can help protect delicate graphics.
