Avante and 934

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.

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 :lol:

Anyway here it is finished in Box Art just like the Avante (I know I have no imagination :wink: )

Thanks Gary and I know what you're saying, I have completely lost all grip on the difference between NEED and want :lol:

Box-art or not, that 934 looks great.
