Introduction to the Super Avante RS by Tamiya

The Tamiya Super Avante RS is a standout Mini 4WD model that balances striking design with practical tuneability. Its Super-II chassis offers a dependable foundation for lap-focused setup and visual customisation.

Design Notes and Construction Materials

The styling leans toward an off-road buggy aesthetic, with aerodynamic contours and a purposeful stance. The body is supplied in white PS for painting, while light blue ABS parts add contrasting detail. The kit also includes large fluorescent orange hard slick tyres that give it a racing look.

Super-II Chassis Characteristics

Constructed from blue ABS, the Super-II chassis is known for its resilience and compatibility with common upgrades. Light blue 13mm rollers are supplied to assist with cornering control and secure track contact.

Performance Upgrades and Tuning Routes

Racers can fit higher-performance motors, try different tyre compounds, and alter gear ratios to match circuit demands. The default 4.2:1 gear ratio provides a balanced compromise between acceleration and top speed for many track types.

Assembly Steps and Power Details

The kit assembles simply using snap-fit pieces and clear instructions. Two AA batteries are required but not included, and the Type 130 motor is supplied so the model is ready to run once built.

The Super Avante RS is a versatile Mini 4WD choice for collectors and racers who want a solid chassis and plenty of room for tuning.

Ensure gears are meshed correctly, rollers turn freely, and batteries are fresh. A quick balance check of wheels and tyres helps avoid handling issues.
Yes, the white PS body is ideal for painting and decal work, and the light blue ABS trims can be masked if you want a multi-colour finish.
Upgrading to a motor with more suited RPM for your track and fine tuning gear ratios usually offers the best improvement; suspension style mods and tyre compound selection also help.
Spare parts for the Super-II platform and common accessory parts are widely available from hobby suppliers, making maintenance and upgrades straightforward.
