What the Aero Avante offers

The Tamiya 18701 Aero Avante combines a sleek race-inspired shell with a robust AR chassis. Designed to mark the 30th anniversary of the Mini 4WD Rev Series, it is aimed at builders who enjoy tweaking handling and speed.

Aerodynamic coupe styling

The shell sports an advanced coupe silhouette that helps reduce aerodynamic drag and keeps the car steady through high-speed sections. The form is meant to support reliable performance as well as a track-ready look.

AR chassis and mechanical layout

The AR monocoque chassis focuses on rigidity and airflow. It uses a propeller drive shaft and includes integrated horizontal elements to improve structural strength. The battery and motor cover can be accessed from beneath, making component swaps quick and straightforward.

Upgrade paths for racers

The Aero Avante is a friendly base for upgrades like faster motors, dedicated tyres, and adjusted gear ratios. Options such as low-friction rollers and brake bars let racers refine cornering and stability for different circuits.

Build and finishing tips

The kit is suitable for both newcomers and experienced tuners. Because many parts are moulded in colour, painting is optional. The snap-fit design yields a tidy build without needing specialist tools.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: AR
  • Body Style: Aero Coupe
  • Wheel Type: Low-Profile Tires
  • Motor Compatibility: Standard 130 single-shaft motors

Tamiya 18701 Aero Avante offers an aerodynamic shell on a durable AR chassis, providing a flexible platform for racers focusing on handling and speed tuning.

Standard gear sets suited to 130 motors are a good starting point. Tune gear ratio for a balance between acceleration and top speed depending on your track layout.
Keep an eye on roller bearings and the propeller shaft for wear after frequent high-speed runs. Regular checks and light lubrication help prevent issues.
Use a combination of tyre choice, roller placement, and brake bars to tune for your track. Softer tyres and lower gear ratios help in tighter sections, while harder tyres and taller gearing favour top speed.
The model uses standard Mini 4WD parts like 130 motors and AR chassis components. Check your event rules for specific class restrictions before entering.
