If you are like me and don’t have time and patience to paint, Tamiya revealed a Pre-Painted version of their Super Avante Buggy kit (with a few special-colored parts)! This assembly kit features an exceptionally low-profile design enabled in part by its front inboard suspension, with a shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain powered by a midship motor and employing front/rear ball differentials plus full ball bearings.
Its futuristic body design is the work of my friend Kota Nezu at Znug Design,and features numerous clear sections that just add to the Super Avante’s distinctly modern mood.
