Racing Lines and Body Profile

The Tamiya Avante MK.II features a compact, aerodynamic shell that draws on off-road buggy styling while offering a modern race feel. Its small spoiler and raised cockpit fin sharpen the overall look and help define airflow direction.

MS Chassis Mechanics

Underneath, the MS Chassis positions a double shaft motor midframe to balance power transfer and handling. The three part chassis is removable and snaps together, allowing for quick assembly and simple component access.

Upgrade Paths and Tuning Parts

  • Motor Options: Compatible with Type 130 double shaft motors for a range of performance setups.
  • Tire Variants: Swap in larger diameter tyres or alternative compounds to match track grip.
  • Gear Adjustments: The stock 4:1 gearing can be modified to tweak acceleration or top speed characteristics.
  • Weight Tuning: Adding ballast is a practical way to enhance stability on uneven or technical sections.

Fine Tuning for Circuits

Because components are modular, the Avante MK.II adapts to many Mini 4WD layouts. Tweak tyres, gearing and weight placement to target either tighter cornering or improved straight line speed.
