Egress black edition
Wayne Campbell

@Seppl: the rims are the same as the original ones, just black. You can find them on Ebay in all kind of colors: 9335066 / 19335066. The rubbers are dual block tires with foams (54188 and 54185). They are my favorites on tarmac. Great grip and the foam works as additional dampers. I use them on almost all runner buggies.

It’s a shelf queen. But I run an Astute 2022 (not the one in the picture). It’s pretty much the same car, other than being 2WD. They are robust, pretty heavy and well-balanced cars. Nothing rattles, there’s no free play in the suspensions. Easy to control and no problems with a Super Stock RZ motor.

Thank you very much! I do have an Astute, I run; the one with the white/blue paint job in my showroom.

Thanks a lot guys! Yes, it is quite the beast. Pretty fast, but with the shocks I use, and these tires with foams in them, it is perfectly controllable, which is surprising for an LB. Wheelies are not too bad either, given the lack of grip. I have to build up throttle to get the nose up, otherwise I just get wheel spin.

And yeah, it was not cheap. I paid roughly 320$ in parts, not including motor, electronics and kit.

Thank you guys! The roll cage and the exhaust pipes are dyed. The blue suspension parts and the shock towers are spray-painted.

Black special in 2011 look

it is. Tamiya should develop more unique kits like this. the geometry of the suspensions alone is pure art.

Thanks everyone!

The alloy rims are quite a bit heavier than the stock plastic ones. Also, they cost me 160$, so this one is just a shelf queen. But I am building another Avante, and that one will be for the street. Same look, but with large dish rims, and dual block tires. The larger diameter should give it more speed, and a scratched rim won’t cause my any pain :)

I’m sorry, I am not selling it. I am collecting Tamiyas. They all have their spots on shelves with indirect light. Nerdy :)
