Avante Mk.III Azure - overview for racers

The Tamiya Avante Mk.III Azure blends classic off-road buggy styling with modern Mini 4WD engineering. This Tamiya 18626 Avante Mk.III Azure Mini 4WD PRO Kit features the azure bodywork and race-inspired graphics that make it a popular pick for club racing and casual track sessions.

Visual styling and functional bodywork

The sculpted blue bodyshell is accented with white, red and blue decal sets and includes separate aero parts and a rear wing. These elements add character while also helping manage airflow and stability at speed on technical layouts.

MS chassis performance core

At the heart of the model is the MS chassis, a modular platform prized for balance and tuning options. The chassis supports a double shaft motor configuration to deliver dependable power transfer and straight-line stability on sprint-style courses.

Tuning options and upgrade paths

Hobbyists can fit higher torque or higher rpm motors, swap to low-profile tyres for reduced rolling resistance, and install precision gears to refine acceleration and top speed. The chassis accepts a wide range of aftermarket tuning parts for different track demands.

Assembly and build notes

The kit uses snap-fit assembly to simplify construction for first-time builders while still allowing experienced tuners to fine-tune components. It is a satisfying build that teaches setup and tuning fundamentals.

The Tamiya Avante Mk.III Azure is a flexible Mini 4WD platform that works well for racers and collectors. Its MS chassis and upgrade options make it easy to adapt to different track formats.

This kit is built around the MS chassis, valued for its modular layout and neutral handling characteristics that suit racing setups.
For club tracks you can choose high-torque motors for technical sections or higher rpm motors for faster straights. The double shaft motor format gives flexibility for different setups.
Low-profile rubber reduces drag on smooth circuits, while wider, grippier tyres help on bumpy or carpet tracks. Try a few combinations to match track surface and cornering style.
The snap-fit design makes the build approachable for newcomers. Take your time with decals and setup, and consult community build guides for tuning tips.
