Every week we read threads about guys receiving valuable classics from their buddies, co-workers, neighbers etc. Usually they are one of the big ones;Avantes, Bruisers, Scorchers, etc. Well it finally happened to me! My older brother sent this in the mail, his OG, un-ran Avante!!!!! I still dont know the back story of how he received it back when. It is in remarkeable shape. The tires are out of the box fresh, albeit missing the foams. You will notice its missing its shocks, yeah I stole them as a braty little kid while my brother was at Navy boot camp. The shocks wound up on an Avante I restored and then sold off many years latter, I didnt know that he still had this, I wouldn't have done that as an adult!!! I probably dont deserve this for that reason. As a Marine I saved his bacon many years latter, maybe this is thanks. Any way. Here she is!!!! He even sent rere shocks!!!! The front end in all of its over complicated goodness!!!! Best rear suspension in all of RC-dom PERFECT 30 year old tires and wheels. Plans: Blow it apart, re-build, and run in the back yard. Ill probably keep the super dark blue paint on it, paint the rear wing, and paint the bely pan black. There will be a thread!!!! Stay tuned.
