Snapshot of the Tamiya JR Avante CK814

The Tamiya JR Avante CK814 brings a compact buggy look to the Mini 4WD range. It pairs eye-catching bodywork with a dependable chassis, making it a solid pick for tuners and collectors.

Styling influence and aerodynamics

The Avante body channels off-road buggy aesthetics with defined edges and streamlined panels. That shell not only looks the part but helps manage airflow for smoother runs on straightaways.

What the Type 2 chassis delivers

Based on the Type 2 platform, this kit gives a sturdy, tuneable foundation. It supports popular gear ratios such as 5:1 and 4.2:1 so you can optimise response or top speed for different tracks.

Upgrade paths for better lap times

Performance-minded hobbyists often fit high rpm motors, low-friction bearings and specialist tyres. These swaps are effective ways to improve grip, acceleration and overall consistency.

Build process and track use

Snap-fit construction keeps the build accessible while allowing room for more advanced adjustments. The model is compatible with typical Tamiya race circuits and club layouts.

Use 5:1 for better acceleration on twisty circuits and 4.2:1 for higher top speed on long straights. Match gearing to the track layout for best lap times.
No, the kit is primarily snap-fit so glue is not required for the main assembly. Some modders use small amounts of adhesive for custom bodywork or permanent parts.
On indoor circuits, softer slick tyres often provide better traction. Try different compounds and widths to find the balance between grip and low rolling resistance.
