Tamiya's designers have crafted the TD-4 Super Avante, a fun-to-drive 4WD off-road buggy. The body is a re-imagined Avante, designed by Kota Nezu, and even shares the fun rear wing moniker "Being Nuts is Neat!" The front of the all-new TD-4 chassis shares a front horizontal damper layout design similar to the original Avante, with the front dampers positioned underneath the body.
The TD-4 is a shaft-driven 4WD buggy chassis which employs front inboard suspension for a slim, low-profile form. It features a longitudinal battery pack position in the center and a midship transverse motor for optimum balance and improved performance. The drivetrain uses full bearings, and sealed front/rear gearboxes have built-in ball differentials. Two link rods and a crank arm transmit movement of the left-side servo to the three-piece steering arm setup. Four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension utilises CVA oil dampers. Turnbuckle shaft upper arms facilitate camber angle adjustment. Two types (high/low) of wing stays are included and star dish wheels are paired with square spike tires which offer superlative grip off-road.
