The Tamiya Super Avante RS stands out in the Mini 4WD range with a design that invites custom paint and tuning. Its Super-II chassis gives a dependable base for both casual runs and competitive tweaks.
The body echoes an off-road buggy silhouette with flowing aero lines and a confident stance. Molded in white PS for easy finishing, the kit pairs this with light blue ABS fittings. Large-diameter fluorescent orange hard slick tyres add a bold accent for track or display.
The Super-II frame, made from blue ABS, is valued for its strength and tuning flexibility. It supports a variety of upgrade parts and includes light blue 13mm rollers that help stabilise the car through corners.
Adjustments include swapping motors, trying different tyre compounds, and changing gears to suit track profiles. The supplied 4.2:1 gearing provides a good compromise between acceleration and top speed on mixed circuits.
Building is straightforward with snap-together parts and clear instructions. The kit needs two AA batteries, not included, and comes with a Type 130 motor so it is ready to run after assembly.
Compact and tuneable, the Tamiya Super Avante RS suits club racers and hobbyists who like to personalise both performance and looks.
