Details on the Tamiya Super Avante Jr. (VZ)

The Tamiya Super Avante Jr. brings race-inspired styling to a smaller Mini 4WD package, a design credited to Kota Nezu. This version mirrors the R/C Super Avante in miniature and uses reduced front fenders to help with aerodynamic efficiency.

Body features and maintenance access

The ABS body is produced in blue and mounts to a black VZ chassis. It includes a removable canopy and a separate rear wing, while the front inboard suspension panel can be removed for easier servicing and modification.

Design intent behind the VZ chassis

The VZ chassis combines a compact footprint with reinforced points around the bumper and rear stay base to manage stress during racing. It employs low-friction 620 plastic bearings to boost drivetrain efficiency and is specified with a 3.5:1 gear ratio.

Upgrade routes for club racing

Numerous Grade-Up Parts are compatible with this kit, allowing racers to swap motors, change tyres and adjust gearing to match different circuits and driving styles.
