Tamiya 58489 Avante 2011 1/10 RC Kit - Classic 4WD Buggy, Carbon Fibre Chassis Edition  [58489]

Modern Take on the Avante 58489 Classic

The Avante has been an influential design since 1988 and this version revives its signature layout with smart updates. The Avante 58489 keeps the original engineering intent while adding materials and features suited to contemporary hobby use.

What the frame and drivetrain deliver

The shaft-driven 4WD and double-deck approach remain core to the platform. Upgrading to a carbon fibre double-deck chassis replaces the older FRP, giving greater stiffness and improved response under cornering loads that club racers will appreciate.

Built tougher for real use

This release emphasises resilience. A beefed-up carbon rear damper stay resists impact forces better, and the polycarbonate body is designed to withstand knocks from off-road runs without shredding easily.

Improved control and service features

Assembly universal shafts at both front and rear help reduce drivetrain losses and vibration. The gold oil dampers now include bottom caps to make routine service tasks like O-ring replacement quicker and cleaner.

Specifications

The Tamiya Avante 58489 reissue is tailored for tuners who want a classic platform with modern materials. It appeals to racers and collectors looking for a robust, tuneable 4WD buggy platform.
