If I could figure out how to put up pics I'd love to show my collection, 3 original 88 Avantes, 1st is shlelf queen and has never been run, it is 100% original and perfect in every way and even has the box. 2nd is runner in good shape with original Technigold motor, 3rd is almost complete, still missing some odd screws, nuts, and plastic odds and ends, not sure what I'm going to do with that one

ERA, I bet you sleep with them at night :lol: and I don't fault you. Don't have to feed them, walk them, clean up after them, and no vet bills plus they give you unconditional love.... :wub: Each is a working piece of engineering art, very nice. :)

They are replicas of old 80's alloys for the Hotshot. They require the Hotshot wheel adapters that came with the original avante. They came from this guy on eBay, but he hasn't had any for sale for a couple years. I bought these ones back in 05 or 06.

Here are pics of them in someones showroom:

Not exactly - just bought the re-re Z parts set and will add the side tangs to fit to 2001 shell, plus fill the screw hole in the base. That's the plan anyway ;)
