Tamiya 18101 - Super Avante Jr. VZ Mini 4WD Kit - Performance Mini 4WD  [18101]

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.

Compact and adaptable, the Tamiya Super Avante Jr. (VZ) is a reliable base for hobbyists who want to refine a Mini 4WD for competitive running or display.
