If this is an avante re release then everything needed for assembly is in the kit - including the ball differential grease.

This also assumes that you have a set of JIS or similar screwdrivers though?

If you are looking for upgrades a would get the parts to upgrade the steering linkage and servo saver to that on the avante black edition and egress. There is a parts list for it in another thread which i will try to find.

The original hop up kit was 82456 avante racing steering set which can be hard to find but all the bits are available separately.

Are you in the uk? I got all my parts for it when i built mine from tonystamiyaparts on ebay earlier in the year and already had the bearings.

Tonystamiyaparts typically includes free worldwide shipping, I've bought a few things off him and the service has been really good, less than 2 weeks delivery to New Zealand and the prices are worth the wait

They are rereleasing the racing steering kit (47388)and torque splitter (47389) sets later this year if you can't piece it together.  Horizon has them up for preorder.

Yeah could do - i bought the tamiya hi-torque one.  What you will also have to do is saw about 1/4 inch off of the front of the dash of the driver figures cockpit before painting and fitting it as the steering rod between servo and linkage sits slightly higher up. If you download the Avante Black Edition manual off of the tamiya website it shows you how to install the race steering assembly and adapt the driver.

I fitted a low profile servo to mine too - i cant recall where i read this but the lower body shell sits very close and i could see a full size servo may clash slightly.
