And add a wider front bumper (those front lower arms have zero protection from anything), colours look good though, hopefully it's black wheels? 👍 James.

Badcrumble 4204 Posted November 13, 2021 Tamiyablog Or you could swap the body out for the Super Storm Dragon or whatever it was called? I think I’ll just go for an alternate scheme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simalarion 2196 Posted November 13, 2021 Does anyone know if these fenders are good for nothing?, sure looks like they are there just for the look, and if so its like a breast implant that went terrible wrong. I would like to see it without them 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uhhhh should be OK - the tower itself isn't tall, and it looks like it slides over bosses. The nice thing is the wing mount isn't attached to it, which means in a big off the wing won't lever the suspension mount off (or in to pieces). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second, I have to admit, paint does some incredible things sometimes. This red/black example looks really nice. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaoh X 35 Posted November 16, 2021 In stock NOW at Hub Hobby in MN, USA. Currently they have 3 of the 4 they had gotten in. MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) is different this time as only 20% off Tamiya's listed price, though. https://www.hubhobby.com/tamiya-58696-110-super-avante-off-road-buggy-td4-c.html Just sharing the info if someone really wants one now....I can vouch for my local hobby shop as they are top notch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joeling 1649 Posted November 21, 2021 Hi, Any idea if Brushless motor will fit ? Seems like no provision of space for the 3 motor tabs. Or maybe only Tamiya BL motor will fit ? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, you have to position the tabs in a certain way to get clearance, the CompetionX build video shows this quite well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
