Snappy1 966 Posted May 21, 2018 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grastens 2795 Posted May 21, 2018 Gearboxes are the same between the original and 2001, so: yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thommo 1217 Posted May 22, 2018 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 ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snappy1 966 Posted May 22, 2018 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...…. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snappy1 966 Posted May 28, 2018 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 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo 1217 Posted May 29, 2018 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 ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
