Tamiya Avante 2011 Re-Release RC Buggy 1/10 Scale - 58489

Tamiya's 58489 RC Kit builds a 1/10 scale 4WD off-road buggy recreating the iconic Avante in its 2011 re-release form. The Avante is one of Tamiya's most celebrated designs, originally launched in 1988 and renowned for its sleek aerodynamic shell and competitive 4WD chassis. This kit version requires assembly, making it best suited to hobbyists who enjoy the build process as much as driving — and the finished RC buggy rewards that effort with a well-engineered platform ready for on and off-road bashing on loose dirt, gravel, and grass surfaces. As a plastic kit rather than a ready-to-run model, the Tamiya Avante 58489 gives builders full control over the assembly and setup of their car before electronics are fitted.
