Tamiya fans have been asking for a brand new car platform and their request has just been answered. Introducing the Tamiya Super Avante on the all-new 1/10-scale TD4 4WD off-road buggy chassis. Along with the newly designed TD4 chassis is a stylish body produced by Kota Nezu, who has contributed to a number of popular Tamiya products.
Only some information has been released regarding the Super Avante and TD4 chassis. Tamiya mentioned that more will be released soon. Following is what we have so far:
FEATURES
- This is a 1/10 R/C assembly kit.
- The eye-catching polycarbonate body (inspired by Tamiya classic, Avante) is designed by Japanese designer Kota Nezu of znug design.
