The Avante made its mark after the 1988 release by pushing design boundaries in the RC scene. Tamiya reintroduces that icon as the Avante Mk.II, now paired with the DF-03 chassis to combine retro looks with functional modern hardware.
The body is formed from lightweight polycarbonate to keep mass low while reflecting the original aesthetic. High-density spike tyres provide dependable traction on rough terrain, and the aerodynamic lines help stability at speed.
The DF-03 platform features compact front and rear gearboxes fitted with sealed ball differentials to minimise ingress of dirt. Ball bearings are used throughout to reduce rolling resistance, and the independent double wishbone suspension with long arms aids cornering control.
This kit includes a Type 540 motor to deliver strong drive for off-road running. You will need to choose and install an electronic speed controller separately to match your batteries and driving preferences.
The Tamiya Avante Mk.II DF-03 is a good match for builders who want a period-correct appearance with practical, up-to-date chassis hardware. Its construction makes it suitable for both display and active off-road use.
