Hi, I wonder if the Avante includes full ball bearings.

Thanks. Best Regards.

Hi, a bit new here.
anyway, anyone here might know if there is an after market alloy part for the D Arm tree for Avante 2011?

also, would there any be any after market alloy part for the spur gear of avante?

i tried googling but could only find C1,2,3 ,E2,3 rims and chassis. >.<

Yep, it has a full bearing set.

@wingraider: I spoke to someone from GPM sone weeks ago and they release early August new parts for the 2011 Avante. I personally don't think the D tree is going to be released as an alloy piece.

i see, but may i ask, why do you think that it's not going to be released as an alloy.for me, i think it would be good if someone do this since it's one of the weak link also in suspension aside from the gear train..
for GPM, i hope they release some of the gears in alloy. alloy, maybe the d part if possible :)

I'd love to see some more pics of Avantes.

I hope they offer ball diffs and delrin gears but for now we have to wait GPM has to offer in august.

Visit www.tamiyaclub.com for more pics of the vintage and 2011 avantes

LOL, I spend time there and have some pics of mine posted on the Avante re-re thread there. I was hoping to see some new ones.

Me too:D

@MrUnlimited:
i got my avante built up now with an aftermarket aluminum upper and lower deck chassis... everytime i run my avante, a high pitch sound is produced, when i ran my avante to a lower speed, it's much louder...am not sure what's the prob though

That is because alloy resonates the sound of the gearboxes. FRP and carbon doesn't.

oh, then it's not because the central differential gear is too tight in it's place?
i was worried it's because of that... >.<

That can cause the high pitch but the aloy resonates it to a higher and louder sound.

Any updates on this car durability wise and what brushless motors are you guys running in this car

I am running the car with a Tamiya Transpeed 8.5t motor and Hobbywing Xerun 60A esc. I have rebuild the 3rd diff/spur once because it was too loose and slipped. I replaced the standard 3mm balls with ceramic balls and changed the pinion to a 21t pinion. Drivetrain is very beefy and holds well.
I wait for the release of GPM products for the Avante in August.
