Black Special Avante: Vintage Design Meets Modern Parts

The Avante name has been part of RC culture since 1988, and Tamiya's 2011 Black Special, model 84270, updates that legacy with contemporary materials. This release keeps the iconic profile while improving chassis rigidity and component durability.

Structural Upgrades and Materials

Core to the Black Special are carbon fibre upper and lower decks that give a firm platform for suspension and drivetrain parts. The aluminium front steering knuckles strengthen the control arm mounting points, helping maintain steering precision during aggressive laps.

Handling, Motor Layout and On-Track Behaviour

The kit comes with a 25T brushed motor arranged longitudinally, feeding a shaft-driven full-time 4WD system for balanced traction. A 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and oil dampers with metal cylinders help tame rough terrain, while the spike tyres on fluorescent pink wheels deliver both grip and a standout look.

The Tamiya Avante 2011 Black Special is aimed at builders who enjoy hands-on setup and performance tweaking. It is a strong base for upgrades and provides classic looks that stand out at club events.

What tyres suit different surfaces?

The supplied spike tyres are good for loose dirt and rough off-road tracks. For hardpack or indoor tracks, consider low-profile slicks or block-pattern tyres to improve cornering.

Do I need a specific servo size?

A medium to high-torque digital servo with a standard spline fits most steering setups. Choose one with metal gears for durability under aggressive driving.

Is the kit compatible with aftermarket hop-ups?

Yes, the Avante accepts many hop-up parts including aluminium suspension arms, upgraded shocks and stronger drive components. Check compatibility with the 2mm carbon decks before fitting large components.

How should I maintain the ball differentials?

Regular cleaning and a light run-in grease with the correct diff oil grade will keep ball differentials working smoothly. Inspect balls and races periodically for wear and replace as needed.

Will the fluorescent wheels affect durability?

The wheel colour is cosmetic and does not change strength, but inspect wheel mounts and hexes for wear after heavy use and replace if you notice play.
