TAMIYA 18101 Mini 4WD Super Avante Jr. (VZ Chassis)

Overall length: 158 mm. The photo shows the kit assembled and painted. [The excitement of the next-generation Avante in a Mini 4WD] This is a plastic model assembly kit of a high-performance racer that uses a shaft-driven four-wheel drive. The Super Avante Jr. is a Mini 4WD version of the Super Avante , a next-generation RC buggy designed by Kota Nezu (representative of znug design) . Nezu himself also worked on the body arrangement for the "Junior" version. The rounded, slim form that gives a fresh new look to the Avante image is also very attractive even in Mini 4WD. The inboard suspension, which is the highlight of the RC version, is molded inside the nose window to create a rich three-dimensional expression. The small front fenders and suspension arms are also reproduced as one with the body, condensing the mechanical atmosphere of an RC car. In addition, the parts that resemble the canopy and nose window are removable, so you can enjoy changing the style. The chassis is lightweight and compact, and is suitable for practical use, the VZ. The suspension is coordinated with yellow 12-spoke wheels and small-diameter low-profile tires. Metallic stickers that express familiar logos and catchphrases are also included. [VZ chassis with strength and expandability] The VZ chassis is a refined version of the small, lightweight, short-wheelbase VS chassis, which is popular in races. While retaining the excellent features of the VS chassis, such as maneuverability and ease of maintenance, the strength of the bumper, rear stay base, propeller shaft bearing, etc. has been increased. Another key point is the moderate "flexibility" that absorbs shocks. In addition to the rear roller stays, the front bumper can also be separated. The freedom of setting has also been greatly improved. The shaft bearings use 620 plastic bearings made of POM resin with low friction resistance. Both the chassis body and A parts such as the gear cover are made of ABS resin. The gear ratio is set to 3.5:1.
