Alpine A310 kit

The Alpine A310 in kit version: assemble, tune, and customise at your own pace

The reference AV51199 from Avant Slot features the iconic Alpine A310 in kit format, designed for those who prefer to directly engage in the assembly and tuning of their car before taking it to the track. On the body of this French competition coupe, Avant Slot builds a solid technical base that allows real room for the preparer.

Features and highlights

• Independent braid: mounted independently from the chassis, making replacement easier and allowing adjustment of the contact tension with the track without compromising the rest of the assembly.
• Calibrated axles: ensure precise and uniform rotation, reducing vibrations and improving cornering response from the very first metre.
• Aluminium rear wheels: provide rigidity, reduced unsprung weight, and a firm base for mounting tyres with greater precision.

Assembly and preparation

As it is a kit, the assembly process is part of the experience. You will have all the necessary parts to complete the car, with the advantage of being able to review each component before assembly, adjust clearances, apply selective lubrication, and adapt the guide or braids to your track configuration. This format is especially valued by enthusiasts who want to understand the car from the inside out.

Track performance

The combination of calibrated axles and aluminium wheels on the rear axle provides a finely tuned technical base from the start. The independent braid facilitates stable contact with the track, a key aspect for efficient power transmission and predictable handling, both on Scalextric and Ninco type tracks as well as Scaleauto or Slot.it type tracks.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts who enjoy the assembly and preparation process as much as driving.
• Club competitors who want to know every component of their car in detail.
• Collectors looking for the Alpine A310 in a version with greater technical involvement.

Aspects to consider

As it is a kit, the preparation time before the first lap on track is longer than with an RTR car. It is advisable to have basic assembly tools and to be clear about the type of track on which you will be running to choose the most suitable guide and braids.

The Alpine A310 in competition

The Alpine A310 was born in the early seventies as the successor to the legendary A110, with which Alpine had conquered the World Rally Championship in 1973. The A310 adopted a more modern engine and a body with sharper lines, designed in collaboration with Michelotti, and was homologated in Group 4 for competition. Although it never achieved the results of the A110 in rallying, the A310 earned a firm place in the heart of French motorsport and in the memory of European motorsport fans of the seventies. Its unmistakable silhouette, with the rear engine and that characteristic coupe rear, makes it one of the most evocative offerings in the Avant Slot catalogue.
