A modern interpretation of the classic Avante

The Tamiya Super Avante delivers a blend of heritage and contemporary engineering that appeals to off-road hobbyists. Styled after the original Avante and refined by designer Kota Nezu, the polycarbonate body balances lightweight construction with track durability and a distinct look that stands out at club races.

Heritage styling with contemporary tweaks

The body keeps the familiar Avante silhouette while introducing updated lines that reduce drag and add visual flair. The rear wing's slogan "Being Nuts is Neat!" gives the kit a playful touch that many builders appreciate.

TD-4 monocoque chassis for consistent handling

The TD-4 one-piece monocoque chassis uses a shaft drive layout and places the battery longitudinally with a transverse mid motor to enhance balance. That arrangement helps the car remain stable across varied off-road surfaces.

Precision suspension for smooth control

Front inboard suspension removes the need for a front damper stay, lowering the profile up front. Combined with four-wheel double wishbones and CVA oil dampers, the setup is tuned for steady grip and controlled landings.

Tunable setup and accessory options

The kit includes options for adjusting camber, choosing high or low wing stays, and setting turnbuckle shafts to dial in handling. With star dish wheels and square spike tyres, the Super Avante is ready to be tailored for different dirt tracks.

Tamiya Super Avante 58696 combines classic design cues with a contemporary TD-4 chassis, offering a customizable platform for both weekend track sessions and display.

Beginners can build this kit but should expect some time setting up the TD-4 chassis. Following the manual and asking for help at a local club will speed the learning curve.
A 540-size brushed or brushless motor paired with a compatible ESC is standard. Match the ESC to your motor type and battery voltage for safe, reliable performance.
Soften the CVA oil slightly, increase droop limit, and use wider tyres with aggressive tread to improve traction on loose surfaces.
Tamiya support and the aftermarket offer upgrade parts like alloy shock towers, reinforced driveshafts, and alternative wheels to suit more demanding use.
