Too short in my opinion. The rear cab is 1/3 shorter than the original truck. Cheers Max

We used the Thunder Shot arms because in 1988 DT03 didn't yet exist. Max -
No other way that move the Hex mount slightly to the right side of the model. Have you a picture without the body? Max
-
No, sorry, all my collection is currently boxed. Max
-
Could you please post some detailed pictures of the problems? Thanks Max
-
Stupid me, I searched it via forum search... Max

Here the topic with my ball differentials, thanks to Saito2. Max
-
YES!!! How did you find it? Max
-
The main shaft of the re release Hot Shot is very good, I believe Hot Shot 2 also have it. Any CVD half shafts do their job in my opinion. The geartrain and the whole transmission of the Hot Shot series is very bulky. The real problem is a lack of ball differentials and slippery clutch imho. Max
-
Yes, disappointing. Max
-
I made a topic were I restored my racing Boomerang, years ago, but I'm unable to find it. Max
-
The best upgrade you can do on this model is the ball differentials. Max
-
Yes, I was right. As I said "Avante gear diff doesn't work on this transmission". I forgot to mention that the original slipping ball differential saves the gear train precisely because it slips. An all metal gear differential does not save the gears, because it does not slip. You broke this gear because of the Avante differential. You will also break the next one, either the idler gear or the differential gear or the plastic idler gear holder. Max

Can the Japanese make a video without stupid sounds and invasive graphics all around? Anyway, this model looks like a Lego Technics model. Too bad, another great missed opportunity IMHO. Max

More pictures of the yellow Trial Dagger. https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=112129 With 14T pinion gears and locked diffs for high gear ratio https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=112203 I hope this could inspire somebody. Max

I also made a Dagger with aluminum chassis, for trial. The yellow one. The green one was the Carbon Dagger. https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=119206&id=24 Max

I was probably the first one to build a carbon chassis to a Wild Dagger, several years ago. https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=12382&id=24 Max

Avante gear diff doesn't work on this transmission. It seems identical but doesn't. Max
-
I agree with you. If I were a millionaire I would fund Kontemax Racing Special Parts and produce real special parts for the Avante Egress. - New front gearbox with suspension arms - New rear gearbox with suspension arms - Slippery clutch - 0.5 mm module gears - Carbon fiber lower tub frame Just to name a few special parts I would make. But I'm poor. Max
-
thanks. Max
-
Maybe they have a lot of unsold Avantes. Special parts included? What parts? Max
-
Sorry, I did mean with pictures. Max
-
Can you compare your Avante LWB with the 2001 please? Max
-
Really underrated model. Avante 2001 is nice, needs only some hop up to be perfect. Max
