  1. A very well used Avante 2001. Missing a lot of parts. Allready cleaned in pic. Did come with some extras. Dogbones for xr311, and some wheels and tyres. Maybe I use as spares, or rebuild. Missing front drivecups, propellorshaft, body, and millions of other little things.
  2. Thanks for the replies. I think pargu would be the best (and only) hope atm. It needs also plenty of other parts, so progress will be slow. Maybe I will do top force first and collect some parts for DS.
  3. Hello. Currently I´m trying to figure our what would be the best solution..For D parts. If I´ve understood correctly, those are quite rare, and there are just few alternatives... Even original parts would do, but where do I get those? --Aaro--
  4. Because you can´t have too much Tamiya cars, two arrived today. Both incomplete, but better than expected. I will search for some parts and restore to original specs.
  5. I have been in rc hobby for years. Started in 1989 when earned some money from delivering advertising material. So, what I have now.. Original Tamiya: -Avante - Falcon -Blackfoot/mudblaster/subaru brat hybrid -TT-01 ReRe Tamiya: -Avante -Hornet -Grasshopper -Super hotshot Non Tamiya: -Hobao Hyper 7 Pro -Hobao Hyper 8 -Xray 808 2009 -Xray T2 007 -Hongnor scrt10 -Losi Micro-t -Kyosho Ferrari F 40 (project) Not married, no kids...
  6. Very nice. I hope my Avante would look as good. One thing in your Avante, thats not like its originally..
  7. Still some parts missing, but it´s looking good Just like in 1989 .
  8. I sanded all aluminiumparts with 1000 grit wet paper... It made nice shine on aluminium, and no visible scratches. Its no good if parts are very worn. Still need to complete centerdiff, get shocktowers, paint perry, get new undercowl, get some PC-16, maybe a new wing.. and so on.... It´s never enough
  9. Weekends hard work is finally starting to show. It looks like almost complete. But as you can see, some parts still missing. Quite simple restoration, because it was in good shape. Some compromises had to be made, and Perry needs to be painted in some time. Pictures are not so good...
  10. Good way to spend weekend Found more broken parts... But, getting back together.
  11. Avante 2011 motor because it´s still better than silvercan mabuchi. As I wrote earlier, got sensible offer for Technigold, so that it will be. But ordered 2011 before knew about that. But now I have spare motor for my 2011 Avante
  12. Maybe I should start my work, almost all needed parts here. Only rear shock towers missing. Some parts for restoring, some for future needs...
  13. Nice Not much of Avante overengineered parts left. But I definetely need to buy egress, as rere....
  14. Yes, I had to change both uprights. I still have one broken left, and it´s the super wimpy one Funny enough, never knew about that either. But it´s always good time to learn something new. My plan so far will be : Restore original to be shelf queen. Avante 2011 as a runner , and I surely would like to have Egress... I think the most reasonable combination...
  15. Maybe I should make this conversion to the end, but that would need graphite chassis, and hicaps... That was my dream when I was driving this car. Bought this 1989 after my Nichimo Luminous went broken. Only cost me 995 finnish marks. It´s about 160 euros. It was (and still is) a masterpiece of engineering
