The Avante has influenced RC design since 1988 and this reissue maintains that innovative spirit. The Avante 58489 combines the original layout with material and service upgrades to suit contemporary hobbyists and racers alike.
The signature shaft-driven 4WD and the double-deck concept remain integral to the car. The replacement of FRP with a carbon fibre double-deck enhances chassis stiffness, delivering a more consistent platform for setting up handling and suspension.
Key strength improvements include a thicker carbon rear damper stay that resists bending and impacts. The polycarbonate body shell is designed to take knocks from off-road use while staying repairable for collectors and regular drivers.
Assembly universal shafts at both ends help reduce drivetrain loss for smoother acceleration. The gold oil dampers with bottom caps simplify maintenance tasks like O-ring replacement, keeping turnaround between runs quick.
The Tamiya Avante 58489 is an appealing reissue for anyone who values a classic platform updated with modern materials. It works well for collectors, season racers and those building a reliable 4WD project car.
