Tamiya Super Avante (TD4) - KIT TAM-58696

A Super New Face

This R/C model assembly kit creates the Super Avante, a 4WD off-road buggy that is bestowed with Tamiya's legendary Avante name. It features an exceptionally low profile design enabled in part by its front inboard suspension, with a shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain powered by a midship motor and employing front/rear ball differentials plus full ball bearings. Its futuristic body design is the work of Kota Nezu at znug design, and features numerous clear sections that just add to the Super Avante's distinctly modern mood, as do the cockpit-rear buttress and the four mini fenders.

• Pioneering, futuristic design is the work of Kota Nezu at znug design
• All four wheels have an individual mini-fender; they are both practical (helping to block flying debris) and provide a unique design element.
  
• Buttresses are a trendy aerodynamic item at present, and the Super Avante is endowed with its own polycarbonate design, a separate part.
• Vibrant yellow star dish design wheels are paired with high grip square spike tires for superior off-roading.
  
  

TD4 - Low Profile, High Performance

The TD4 is a shaft-driven 4WD buggy chassis which employs front inboard suspension for slim, low-profile form. It features a longitudinal battery pack position in the center and a midship transverse motor for optimum balance and improved performance. The drivetrain uses full bearings, and sealed front/rear gearboxes have built-in ball differentials. 

Two link rods and crank arm transmit movement of the left-side servo to the three-piece steering arm setup. 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension utilizes CVA oil dampers. Turnbuckle shaft upper arms facilitate camber angle adjustment. Two types (high/low) of wing stays are included and star dish wheels are paired with square spike tires which offer superlative grip off-road.
