This is a radio control car assembly kit, which requires preparation
and assembly. Additional items such as radio gear, batteries and charger are
required for operation (sold separately).
This is the Jägermeister-sponsored Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI. The car made its
debut in the 1993 season of the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) series,
blowing the competition away en route to becoming that season's champion. While
the works team used the newest 1994 spec of the car in the next year's DTM,
the 1993 version was used by a number of private outfits including the Schübel
Engineering team. The Schübel car was adorned with the orange livery of the
German liquor Jägermeister, and it got its German sponsor some podium time by
finishing third in the final round of the season.
Tamiya has faithfully reproduced this sleek racing machine in 1/10 scale on
the TT-02 entry level touring car chassis. The TT-02 chassis platform is the
successor to the TT-01 as it incorporates many new features to make it even
easier for the new R/C kit builder to assemble and learn from. The
TT-02 chassis performs well as cornering and overall speed has been enhanced to
take advantage of new electronics available on the market. In addition to the
TT-02 being an ideal platform to start from, R/C hobbyists can expand its
potential by adding many of the Ho-Up-Options available to increase the cars
speed and performance.
