A Classic Mini 4WD Style Adapted for Radio Control

The Aero Avante is presented here as a 1/10 scale RC buggy built on the DF-02 chassis, translating the iconic Mini 4WD silhouette into a driveable model. It is a good pick for collectors who also want a functional off-road kit to run and modify.

Chassis Strength and Control

The DF-02 platform provides four-wheel drive and independent double wishbone suspension for steady handling. Oil-filled dampers smooth impacts and help maintain wheel contact over uneven surfaces common on outdoor circuits.

Bodywork and Included Components

The clear polycarbonate body offers resilience and lightness, and the vinyl sticker sheet lets you finish the model with custom graphics. The package includes a 540-brushed motor and TEU-105BK ESC, laying the groundwork for a drivable kit when assembled.

Options for Setups and Enhancements

Although camber and track width are fixed, you can tweak ride height and gearing to suit track conditions. The kit also includes eight 1150 ball bearings to replace plastic bushings and improve drivetrain efficiency.
