The Tamiya Avante 2011 HI-PO Race 1/10 4WD Off-Road Electric Buggy Kit is a re-release of a Tamiya classic! In March 1988, Tamiya released an electric R/C 4WD racing buggy called the "Avante" and it has since become a special machine in Tamiya's R/C history. The machine featured a unique shaft-driven 4WD system which was taken from Tamiya's first 4WD R/C buggy, the Hotshot. It also featured a highly sophisticated design including a FRP double-deck chassis layout, longitudinal motor & battery positions, and a formula-type body with chassis fairing. It was equipped with innovative components such as a compact gearbox with 3 small planetary gears, a center diff to increase stability, a fully adjustable suspension, and cam-lock wheel caps. In fact, the Avante was such a distinctive R/C machine, many of its mechanisms have become standard features on modern R/C cars.
In 2011 the Avante made its return to the Tamiya library of R/C car offerings. It has a few updates, such as universal drive-shafts and machined aluminum uprights, to give the 2011 version increased durability and performance over the original.

I had always heard of this being a well made kit and it really is. It's extremely different from your average Tamiya buggy kit, you'll notice that as soon as you open the box. While I normally buy alot of upgraded parts for my Tamiya kits, it just is not necessary for the Avante. I now understand why there are hardly any upgraded parts made for this kit, it comes with all the usual Tamiya upgrades. Very impressive and fun build.

If you grew up in the Eighties the Tamiya Avante was the pinnacle of Rc buggies. The 2011 rere is a throwback with modern day improvements that stay true to the original. Whether you decide to run it or put it on a shelf it will put a smile on you’re face .
