Ok so just to mix it up a little i plan to build this vintage Avante for the 2012 VONATS 4WD class :), Might not be the fastest car on the track but it will be fun to watch :)

I threw a low bid in the sniper program and to my surprise i won the auction... I have a few plans for this car that include polishing up the alloy bits and a possibly converting it to longer shocks in the front with parts from a Vajra shock tower (as soon as i find one lol)

The car is in pretty good shape for a runner, i found two plastic parts that will be replace, the upper tray looks to have been cut to bolt in a transponder lol.

Well here is the start to another overhaul lol

Looks great! It will be cool to see an Avante on the track.

Anybody ever run brushless in an Avante? I wonder how the drive-train will hold up ?

If you stick to the vonats motor limit I'm sure it will be perfectly fine.

I never got to see an Avante run so I am really looking forward to it.
