A Mini 4WD Icon Reinterpreted for Off-Road RC

This Aero Avante is a faithful 1/10 scale take on a Mini 4WD classic, rebuilt for radio control on the long-standing DF-02 platform. The conversion keeps the original styling cues while delivering an approachable off-road experience for hobbyists who enjoy both building and driving.

DF-02 Chassis: Reliable 4WD Performance

The DF-02 chassis offers a tried-and-true 4WD layout that gives consistent traction across loose surfaces. Independent double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers help keep the buggy stable over bumps and ruts, making it a forgiving choice for track practice and backyard runs.

Classic Bodywork With Practical Construction

The body is moulded from clear polycarbonate for strength and light weight, and vinyl decals let you personalise the look. The kit includes a 540-brushed motor and the TEU-105BK ESC so the mechanical core is ready after assembly, while the lightweight shell maintains the Aero Avante silhouette.

Tuning Options for Hobbyists

While camber and track width are held constant, you can fine tune ride height and gear ratios to match different surfaces. The kit also ships with eight 1150 ball bearings to replace plastic bushings and reduce drivetrain friction.
