Just finished this as my runner.

I bought it 2/3 built. I finished the build off and ordered a new Body set to run in my color and keep the original box art body to display.

I soon realized that the drive train was very tight so i decided to tear it down as i didn't build it. The front diff was tight and after some closer inspection i found the out drive cup spine rod was bent. So i removed it and fixed the tight action.

The rear was next as that was really tight as well. I spent a long time trying to free it up.( Spur gear to the idler) The Re re has different color gears too my Vanquish so i swapped them over and all is free now.

Next problem was fitting up my Brushless 9t . Very tight fit would be a understatement . It took me ages to fit it up. Had to remove the steering servo to help. Still tight and i have a 16t pinion. I will have to dreamel the top out to adjust the mesh.

Now the FUN part.

WOW this thing has steering and accelerate so hard. That was what i noticed so far.

Will track test at our next vintage meet @ Boondal.

that it is mate, and she ran real smooth on the day, mark only did a few lap's but she had some serious mumbo with the 9t great build mark it was butter smooth

Your Avante 2011 looks good! Vids please!!!

"Being Nuts is Neat!" that's gotta be one of the best Tamiya spoller-slogans ever... I love them all!

did you run it again today mark? it's so cool

Gazza only used it once and was very tail happy.

Maybe a better tyre choice. Was very quick and suspension worked well.

Will again when i can.

Looked so cool.

I really want to get a re-re, but they are still freggin expensive. Having a hard time in my brain spending that kinda of money (at least right now).

I'm the same way, but having a hard time resisting. It's such a cool car.

Looks good in black. I like when people do something other than the usual box-art. I've been wanting to get an Avante since I was a kid but just like back then, it's still too expensive for me.
