Black Special Avante Jr. - a tuners choice

The Tamiya 95501 Avante Jr. Black Special Type 2 Chassis Mini 4WD Kit returns with a focus on customisation and easy on-track performance. Its Type 2 chassis is popular for offering a predictable flex profile that helps when setting up for different circuits.

Design cues and body materials

Drawing on buggy aesthetics, the body is moulded in smoke-coloured ABS for a durable finish. The kit ships with fluorescent pink large-diameter wheels and black slick tyres, giving a wide contact patch and a striking appearance during racing.

Chassis and gearing

The Type 2 black ABS chassis balances rigidity with controlled give, and it is compatible with 5:1 and 4.2:1 gear options so you can prioritise either acceleration or top speed. The included layout is ready to accept a Type 130 motor for reliable drive.

Performance upgrades to consider

For racers aiming to fine-tune performance, consider motor upgrades, lighter hollow tyres, and high-quality mini 4WD bearings to reduce friction. Adjusting ballast and adding damping elements will help refine stability in fast corners.

Assembly notes and fitment

This assembly kit is aimed at hobbyists who like to build and tune. Snap-fit parts make the build approachable, and the completed car is compatible with the usual Mini 4WD track formats encountered at local events.

The Avante Jr. Black Special is a practical and attractive Mini 4WD kit, offering a straightforward base for upgrades and race-ready tuning.
