Tamiya 18701 Aero Avante - 1/32 AR Chassis Mini 4WD Kit, Retro Style  [18701]

Intro to the Aero Avante model

The Tamiya 18701 Aero Avante celebrates 30 years of Mini 4WD with a sleek design and a chassis built for tweaking. The compact 1/32 scale and race-oriented silhouette make it a handy option for hobbyists who like to experiment with setup and tuning.

Futuristic coupe body

The Aero Avante's shell uses a sculpted profile to reduce drag and improve stability. Its aerodynamic lines were chosen to help the car stay planted at speed while giving builders a distinctive race look.

Features of the AR chassis

The AR chassis is a monocoque frame engineered for rigidity and airflow. It includes a propeller drive shaft and horizontal integrated parts to enhance stiffness. The bottom-access battery and motor cover are practical for quick swaps during events.

Tuning and upgrade routes

This kit lends itself to stepwise upgrades like higher RPM motors, specialised tyres, and altered gear ratios. Installing low-friction rollers and brake bars is straightforward, letting you tailor handling to specific track surfaces.

Build experience

Assembly is approachable for newcomers yet flexible enough for seasoned builders. Parts come pre-coloured to reduce prep time, and the snap-fit approach keeps the build tidy without demanding advanced tools.

Tamiya 18701 Aero Avante pairs an efficient aero body with a stiff AR chassis, offering a compact, tuneable platform for racers and collectors alike.
