Here is a couple of my latest Tamiyas.
The first is my original Avante 58072. I purchased it a little while ago during the great Avante escape (just after the re re was announced) It came to me requiring only a new top plate and body/wing/under tray set, it was fully restored using only original parts.
I have to be honest I think these are awesome buggies maybe not in the performance stakes but definitely as an engineering exercise.

Re: Avante and 934
Next is my 934 570101, I bought this from one of our friendly Hong Kong traders for £62 including postage which I thought was a top deal. It took me ages t build it as I couldn't bring myself to spend the money on the special servo required to hold the front wheels in place
Anyway here it is finished in Box Art just like the Avante (I know I have no imagination

Thanks Gary and I know what you're saying, I have completely lost all grip on the difference between NEED and wantRedScampi wrote:Nice car Mark! I NEED one of these badly...

Re: Avante and 934
Box-art or not, that 934 looks great.
