Great looking little car

It really is!

A110 is such a wonderful design. I had the fortune to be driven in one in the 80ies (a special race version with no mufflers). The sensation of speed was fantastic since you sit basically on the floor, we drove nearly 250kmh on the Autobahn. The sound of the engine right behind you was insane since there was no insulation at all. Great little model, i also have a m-06 chassis....its great fun.

Nice car

The only M-06 I ever had was the Lowride Pumpkin! Pervasive absolutely poor. This one looked GREAT! Quite composed... And my favorite Body EVER.

Awesome! The Alpine is on my wishlist of RC cars. It’s a beauty!

Beautifully done. Now I want one. :D

It surprised me honestly from build to pavement. Although I have to reveal I used a 2mm spacer on the rear spring and forgot to mention it, it was sagging a bit too much for my liking, the car sags a lot from factory but I think thats how it gets its traction in the rear end

That’s a real looker. Goes really well too. Im amazed at how well damped it is considering it’s only got friction shocks Great to see it burn rubber!👍😎

I was very surprised as well, but I think its the spring selection that Tamiya have made that really helps those pogo sticks work better. i was honestly very happy to see how well it drove!

Awesome build mate! I already have the blue one, so probably won't get this one, but who knows at a later date. Already got 4 M06 m-chassis 😄 but I like how it is pretty unique with the RR and the longitudinal battery.

Nice one mate, I dig it! The one wheel shots are terrific! 👍👍👍

Hi there Rex, a great over view video of the Alpine on the M-06 chassis. Looks to be scale like in its drive train and handling characteristics. It just so happens, I’m working on the VW Beetle on the M-06 chassis in the L configuration. It will be interesting to see how this compares with the S configuration of the Alpine… great little video, have fun with the Alpine, it looks stunning. Take care and best wishes to you and the family 😁😊😉

@@rexrcs Let alone on gravel... I know some of the Japanese folks have done it with a gyro... I think it's a tough one, as having such a short wheelbase it'll spin faster than you can react, as I found the hard way with my M08 on a R5 Turbo gravel setup I made for it, but still, I want to make a M-chassis work on RWD, somehow... Someone might call me stubborn, if not pig-headed, haha!

hey, thanks for thé zoom room tip. Seem like a good source for all sorts of goodies! I received the Alpine just yesterday. Opted for the tamiya dampers as you suggested 👍 getting back in following a ~30 yr hiatus. I’m hoping to meet locals and enjoy some parking lot fun. Unfortunately, you’re right about the torsion bars - even looked into yeah racing and 3racing for an aftermarket solution. No luck. Tamiya .. just as I remember them.. All the best!

i think I might have heard you say there is a choice of wheelbase? 210mm an option ?

Yes ! You can make it 210mm, 225mm, or 239mm wheelbases

Hey Rex! Excellent video. Waiting patiently for that carpet run... Should be picking up my M-06 Giulia kit next week and have a Mazda MX-5 body ordered as well. Did you end up putting the oil-filled dampers on your M-06? Cheers!

@rexrcs

Hi Scotty, I havent been yet to the indoor track sadly but once Im there I will firstly be trying the car fully stock. I presume it will flip immediately on the high traction black carpet, so a switch to track specific tire set will happen(with glued front sidewalls to reduce roll grip). I feel like theres too much down travel and ride height in the stock suspension so I will prebuild oil dampers with travel limiters in them and medium oil with probably single hole piston. Hopefully get it all in video for you

@@rexrcs excellent, thanks Rex. Have a great week!

I think it would be more fun with the same tires front and rear. How do you like the M06 vs the TT02?

@rexrcs

Жыл бұрын

I tend to agree, I will be ultimately trying to make this perform with a square tire setup if I can. So far the Base TT-02 is still one of the least favourites.. emphasizing on the word “base”. The M06 comes with adjustable links which right away allows for tuning options to play with to suit your driving surface, I also find my M chassis cars are much easier for me to run in smaller areas

You're really trying to get me into mini racing aren't you? What's the diameter of the headlight? I saw it had a pocket inbehind. I'm wondering if a Willys Wheeler lens would fit.

Жыл бұрын

HAHA! you made me chuckle out loud. these minis are too cool, theres no way to take them too seriously and my obsession for them is growing! the headlight is your typical, and there is a mount for ed in the back of it, but no hole, and its solid plastic, so an led sticking through the faux headlight may look strange, willy lens i think would work
