Tomorrow my kit will be sent out to me. Will arrive next week!! Can't wait!!!

FYI

For those who would like to display their Avante 2011 NIB (New In Blister)

The material used for the blister pack is very thin & fragile, especially around the motor. I checked 3 boxes at my LHS, all 3 had cracked blisters

The initial release all come with the "bonus parts", 4 modern dish type Tamiya off road rims. The aluminium clamp type wheel hexes are anodised black.

Will probably start buidling the car after I get the Avante 2011 Titanium parts (part no. 84199)

Yes the Avante was all looks and shelf-queen.
I bet this new one can perform thou, they have updated it so much
I wouldnt doubt it was track tested.
I heard on the original the front end was really fragile.

Hats off to Tamiya thou for re-releasing the classics.

It would be very interesting to see how the new Avante handles with all the updated reinforcements. With a descent brushless/lipo setup I'm pretty sure it will put up a fight with the new kids on the block.

Yup the Avante has arrived upon the shores of Singapore and the price is reasonable. The kit looks awesome. Anyone interested to get hold of one, feel free to pm me for details. I'll be more than happy to help anyone looking to get this awesome kit...

Already started building?

Yup, the temptation was too hard to resist

Still holding out for the titanium screw kit, hope it arrives soon I don't like to build the car twice.

Replacing the stock steel ball connectors with blue aluminum ones for some added bling, found some freebie Tamiya 3x18mm Titanium turnbuckles for the front shock brace.

Cheers

show us some pics after it is finished. Mine will be have titanium parts. I also think companies like 3Racing, Yeah racing will come wiht some aftermarket parts.

Mine will arrive this week!!

There must be a few out there by now, how about some pics ?

I'll post some today. Mine has arrived yesterday I'm already building. My kit came with df03 wheels AND esc! As for the motor, this is a 25turns TZ-stock motor.

Today I will add the shocks and electronics. Tomorrow it will be finishes with the painting of the bodyparts and driver figure.

Mine will be ordered shortly, hope the blisters are a bit descent so i can leave it NIB.
Perhaps i will buy a second one and that will be build

Wow i see you've received it and have already started building it. Looks awesome!

Hope to finish it this weekend. How is yours?
