This is a Limited-Edition Black Special release of the Avante 2011 edition, which was originally released to commemorate the 35th anniversary of Tamiya R/C car products. It sports a colour scheme inspired by its Mini 4WD cousin the Avante Black Special.

About the Avante:

The machine features a unique shaft-driven 4WD system which was taken from Tamiya’s first 4WD R/C buggy, the Hotshot. It features a highly sophisticated design including an FRP double-deck chassis layout, longitudinal motor & battery positions, and a formula-type body with chassis fairing. It is equipped with innovative components such as a compact gearbox with 3 small planetary gears, a centre diff to increase stability, a fully adjustable suspension, and cam-lock wheel caps.

The modern specification of the car has a few updates, such as universal drive-shafts and machined aluminium uprights, which gives this version increased durability and performance over the original.
