Tamiya 95501 Avante Jr. Black Special Type 2 Chassis Mini 4WD Kit - collector and tuner edition  [95501]

Avante Jr. Black Special - classic form, modern tuneability

The Tamiya 95501 Avante Jr. Black Special Type 2 Chassis Mini 4WD Kit updates a beloved Mini 4WD silhouette, preserving the handling traits that made the model popular. The Type 2 chassis delivers a reliable baseline for setup work and competitive tweaks.

Shell styling and wheel set

The body follows off-road buggy lines and is produced in smoke-coloured ABS to balance strength with a low profile. Included are fluorescent pink, large-diameter wheels fitted with black slick tyres that provide a stable contact patch and a distinctive race-day look.

Chassis engineering and gears

The black Type 2 chassis offers an even-handed mix of stiffness and flexibility. It accommodates both 5:1 and 4.2:1 gear ratios so you can select the gearing best suited to your track, and it is prepared for use with a Type 130 motor.

Possible upgrades and tweaks

Performance-focused builders can fit upgraded motors, lightweight hollow tyres, and precision mini 4WD bearings to lower resistance. Adjusting weight distribution and adding small dampers will help tune corner entry and mid-corner stability.

Assembly and race readiness

The kit is supplied for assembly with snap-fit components for a clear build flow. Once completed, the car is compatible with standard Mini 4WD lanes and timing systems, making it race-ready after basic tuning.

With its blend of classic looks and clear upgrade routes, the Avante Jr. Black Special suits hobbyists who want a tunable Type 2 Mini 4WD with collector appeal.
