Overview

Please Note:

This kit comes without a Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting and drilling.

This is a re-release of a Tamiya Radio Control classic. In March 1988, Tamiya released an electric R/C 4WD racing buggy called the Avante, which has since become a special machine in Tamiya's R/C history. The machine featured a unique shaft-driven 4WD system taken from Tamiya's first 4WD R/C buggy, the Hotshot, along with a highly sophisticated design including a FRP double-deck chassis layout, longitudinal motor and battery positions, a formula-type body with chassis fairing, a compact gearbox with 3 small planetary gears, a center diff for stability, fully adjustable suspension, and cam-lock wheel caps.

In 2011 the Avante returned to the Tamiya library with updates including universal drive-shafts and machined aluminum uprights, giving the 2011 version increased durability and performance over the original.

Note

This body shell comes completely unpainted and may require body post holes to be drilled. Use only polycarbonate-style paint such as the Tamiya PS series — standard paints will not adhere and/or may damage the body shell surface.
