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.

I'm hoping they would release the wild one back, and it could be possible cause they released the fast attack vehicle 
Too bad i don't see any pictures of those avante's that have been build and raced
I'm still concidering to buy a second avante for building and perhaps for driving

What motor do you run? Stock or brushless. I drive brushless and I have no problems.

I put the Tamiya TEU-302BK, but it works well, as also I am using for the Hotshot and Blackfoot.
The transmission of this Avante is not the smoothest. It really is a car with a high price, and now I understand why was not successful when it came out in 1988.

It could not stand against the belt driven cars like CAT, optima mids although it was a revolunary design. I still like the looks of the car and the performance. For serious racing it is not meant therefor we have B44.1's and the Durango's

I drove the original Avante to some sucsess back in the 80` and Im trying to make a racer of the new one. Ive put the chassis from the 2001 Avante on to gain some 15mm on the wheelbase. And Im using the HL dampers from the TRF201 front and rear. Waiting for the balldiffs from the new Vajra and maybe Im going to use the steering from that one also, or maybe from the M-05..
