A Refined Reissue: The Avante 58489 Returns

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.

Engineering carried forward

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.

Upgrades to withstand real use

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.

Handling improvements and serviceability

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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Length: 420mm

I received my package today, Tamiya Avante. Great service very speedy postage. Very easy to deal with. I will be back.
The kit is aimed at intermediate builders. If you have basic soldering and assembly experience you will find it rewarding, and it is a good platform to learn setup and tuning techniques.
Keep spare universal shafts, suspension arms and a set of O-rings for dampers. These are common wear items and having spares reduces downtime between sessions.
Yes. The carbon double-deck and multi-link suspension accept common aftermarket upgrades like adjustable camber links, different damper valving and alternate diff setups to tailor handling.
Regular cleaning, replacing worn bearings and maintaining damper seals will keep parts lasting longer. Swap tyres and tune gear ratios to match surfaces to avoid excess strain on the drivetrain.
