Avante 58072 rear shock mount

[grizy]

I have a shock mount that fits the back of an Avante (if you drill out the rivets and bolt it on).

It has a part number on it 53039. It looks to be machined from pale green frp. It appears to have a Tamiya label on it. Anyone seen this before?

kind regards

Wow. That's a mystery!

Hopefully some of the Avante aficionados here will have something to say bout that one.

Normally an official hop up part would not require any modification by drilling etc. Hmmmmm

The original avante did have two separate pieces I think for the rear tower so it may be an upgrade to strengthen that piece but again strange that it requires drilling etc

from the op. parts chart of a guidebook

I think that's an option part from a different manufacturer! When tamiya produce a after market (hop-up) its generally complete and ready to install sometimes you have to remove a standard part for the hop-up to replace and it would definitely be in the back of the then tamiya rc guide option parts section!
