Avante 2001

Recommended Posts

I recently picked up a better than expected condition 2001,

I have a NIB Tamiya 53034 Hop Up ball diff set, I know that this is for the original Avante, but will they fit into a 2001?

If so, I plan to keep the centre diff and run front and rear ball diffs.....

Cheers

Gearboxes are the same between the original and 2001, so: yes.

Sounds great, where are the pics ?

I see you've used the word "run" in there.  Is it going to be a legit vintage runner ?

Hey Thommo, Yep, this one is going to get dirty.

I have already fitted some vintage high caps and I will build the ball diffs and fit them ,

When I bought my re re Egress I picked up a Avante 2001 bodyset, it is still NIP so I already have that ready and I have some Avante black edition pink lightweights here also, not sure exactly what direction it will head yet but it will be fun working it out.

I actually managed to race at the vintage festival at Castle Hill last November with a Top force Evo, Boomerwig and a Losi JRX Pro, my track driving needs a lot of work but it was a blast and plan to make it an annual event, I am going to next months Vintage Enduro to hang out and marshall, but I may slip this 2001 on afterwards for some practice.

 

I will get some pics up for you...….

Here are some pics, I had these parts stashed......

The sports tuned is still the original kit part, maybe a 23 turn version ? it is a lighter colour grey than all the modern Sports Tuned that I have

Outstanding !

FYI - I've been thinking about retiring my OG Egress runner which has some custom alloy parts and Tamiya Hop-Up carbon shock towers plus some extra goodies (wheels, tyres, shock springs etc).  

Let me know if you're interested ?
