Retro off-road Mini 4WD - Tamiya 18014 1/32 JR Avante Mini 4WD Kit  [18014]

Quick overview of the Tamiya JR Avante CK814

The Tamiya JR Avante CK814 blends a retro off-road body with modern Mini 4WD engineering. Its bold buggy silhouette makes it popular with racers who want classic style paired with solid on-track performance.

Exterior styling and buggy roots

The JR Avante borrows visual cues from classic off-road buggies, with sharp contours and aerodynamic shaping. That bodywork delivers both an attractive display model and reduced drag on straight sections of the track.

Type 2 chassis highlights

Built on the Type 2 chassis, the JR Avante provides a stable base that suits a range of setups. The platform accepts commonly used gear ratios such as 5:1 and 4.2:1 so you can tune acceleration versus top speed for different circuits.

Tuning and upgrade options

Mini 4WD tuning is a big part of the hobby, and this kit responds well to upgrades. Typical improvements include higher rpm motors, low-friction tyres and reinforced gearing to sharpen acceleration and cornering.

Build experience and track compatibility

The snap-fit assembly makes the kit accessible to newcomers while offering scope for experienced builders to refine performance. The model works with standard Tamiya track setups for practice and competition.

The Tamiya JR Avante CK814 is a versatile Mini 4WD kit that balances classic looks with tuneable performance, ideal for collectors and racers who like to customise their setup.
