Meet the Tamiya Avante 47390 Black Special: A Modern Take on an Icon

The Tamiya Avante 47390 Black Special brings a contemporary build package to a design rooted in RC history. As a limited edition release, it reflects the Mini 4WD inspired look while delivering parts that help the car cope with demanding off-road use.

Design Lineage and Mechanical Layout

This model uses a shaft-driven 4WD arrangement that evolved from Tamiya trailblazers such as the Hotshot. The FRP double-deck chassis is laid out for longitudinal motor and battery placement, supported by a compact gearbox and centre differential that aid stability and consistent traction.

Component Choices for Reliability and Performance

The Black Special upgrades include universal drive-shafts and machined aluminium uprights to boost strength. Carbon fibre upper and lower decks at 2mm thickness and a reinforced rear damper stay deliver a lightweight yet robust structure suited to competitive off-road running.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Length: 420mm
  • Width: 240mm

Replacement parts for Tamiya kits are widely available. Check official Tamiya dealers for genuine parts or reputable third party suppliers for upgrade items.
Increase damper oil weight and adjust spring preload to control body movement. Slightly softer tyre compounds can also improve traction over chatter and rough sections.
A brushless conversion is possible but requires checking the gearbox, motor mount and pinion compatibility. Upgrade the ESC and battery to match brushless voltage and space requirements.
The kit follows a Black Special colour theme but typically requires painting and finishing as part of the build. Refer to the instructions for recommended paint types and masking tips.
