In March 1988, Tamiya circulated a power R/C 4WD racing buggy called the "Avante" and possesses since become a special device in Tamiya's R/C history. The machine featured an original shaft-driven 4WD system that was taken from Tamiya's first 4WD R/C buggy, the Hotshot. It also featured an extremely advanced design including a FRP double-deck framework design, longitudinal engine & battery pack positions, and a formula-type body with framework fairing. It absolutely was prepared with revolutionary elements including a compact gearbox with 3 little planetary gears, a center diff to improve security, a totally adjustable suspension, and cam-lock wheel caps.

The Avante was a distinctive R/C device which featured an innovative design. After twenty years, a few of the Avante's mechanisms have grown to be standard features on modern R/C automobiles. The greatest pure racing buggy comes back last year.

Tamiya has given the Avante (2011) the unique re-release therapy like other re-released buggies for instance the Buggy Champ and Hotshot. The following is a short introduction regarding the improved points.

• Principal framework product was changed from FRP to carbon fibre. Original FRP upper/lower decks have already been replaced with 2.0mm dense carbon fiber decks to help expand increase framework power and rigidity. Chassis layout is optimized for installing modern R/C gear.
• Carbon Fiber Rear Damper Stay back damper stay is thicker versus initial and its own material has also been changed to carbon dietary fiber. Left and right remains are linked to further increase rigidity.
• Assembly Universal Shafts WO universal shafts are employed for both front and back to reduce friction loss.
• Easier Damper repair The gold-colored oil damper cylinders function base caps for easier upkeep including replacing o-rings.
• Durable Polycarbonate Body Shell the human body, wing, and framework fairing have actually been made with polycarbonate for superb off road durability.
