I have a theory that when a designer designs something like an R/C car they have it in mind with every special part they want , then it gets cheapened . If you apply this theory to the avante and apply the options you have a very special car .

This avante was built with every option excluding the carbon chassis ( it becomes an egress without the beautiful alloy rod ends ) and without the ball end covers as they hide the ball ends . The list of options is :-

53005 front wheels
53006 rear wheels
53009 titanium rod set
53010 titanium screw set
53031 posi drive shaft front
53032 posi srive shaft rear
53033 ballraced steering set
53034 dual ball diff & torque splitter set
53036 high cap damper mini
53037 high cap damper short
53039 front hybrid tyre
53040 rear hybrid tyre
53044 dynatech 02h motor

Just for the record if you bought all these options when these were raced they would have cost £310 ($465) , no wonder tamiya's werent popular to race !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't think the Avante could be bettered until I saw this fully optioned version. Absolutely beautiful! TRF414

looks good....i am nearly finished restoring mine - just wondering whether to add hop-up dampers - do you have to disassemble front damper mounts to remove shell?

Cheers for the comment, you have to remove the shock stay on this one or you could cut the front of the shell thinner like my other optioned avante.

Now that would make the designer proud ! Great car.

Hi! Just to make your list complete: It is missing the Hi Cap Mini Spring Set and the Hi Cap Short Spring Set, but these are a detail. I love your Avante!
