Brief on the Tamiya Super Avante RS

The Tamiya Super Avante RS delivers a mix of aggressive styling and sensible upgrade paths for Mini 4WD fans. The Super-II chassis underpins the kit with a reliable layout for tuning and racing.

Styling, Materials and Visuals

Designed with an off-road buggy look, the body shows aerodynamic shaping and a sturdy stance. The body is supplied in white PS so you can paint it to taste, while light blue ABS details add contrast. The included large fluorescent orange hard slick tyres boost its on-track presence.

What the Super-II Chassis Offers

The Super-II chassis uses blue ABS for a balance of rigidity and part compatibility. It is a good base for add-ons and comes fitted with light blue 13mm rollers that aid cornering and track hold.

Upgrading and Tuning Advice
