I got My Son a Tamiya Avante, Egress and a Astute .. I loved watching that kid thrashing the hell out of those with a Huge grin on His face..lol.. He passed away at 13yo so I never got chance to enjoy the rest with Him.. But We had some kickass times destroying our Buggies!😝 Think I'm gonna try and get a Avante again.. Just as a Shelf Queen.. I doubt I could make it HALF as good as this beauty.. But these hold so much sentimental value that I wouldnt care how terrible it looked..id just stare and smile for days.. Anyways.. I'm sorry for going on.. You should be employed by Tamiya!.. Absolutely stunning!😍 great job!

Thanks for watching! Sorry for the late response. Thank you for sharing your memories and fun times doing RC things with your son. That’s very special. I agree, the kits don’t have to always look great when completed especially if it’s all about sentimental value. That’s more important! Thanks again!

I bought one back in 1988 and I was 10 years old at the time. The journey of building it is so rewarding to then drive it. Alot has changed, It had a full plastic under body. After 1 week I installed a superpowerful reedy electric motor and top range power server. The motor mounts would come loose and strip the pinion gear. Upgraded to better stiffer metal suspension.. It was super fast and mad fun. good ol days

I never owned one (the best my paper round could afford me was the Thundershot) I spend my money on paying off the mortgage these days, and if I ever get any spare money, my boilers about done and I need a new bathroom! Oh for simpler times!

When the Avante first came out some 35yrs ago...WOW incredible that it's been that long..... I was working for a hobby store that asked me to build the first one that came in and take it to the state RC car offroad finals the following week. With a Futaba radio and ESC added, all I did was set up the shocks for proper jounce on jumps. I really didn't have much time to practise with it but STILL managed to come 3rd overall in the 4wd open class. The trophy was put in the store on display next to the car and we managed to sell quite a few. What a great testament to a quality car even then!

I was approached by my local hobby shop owner way back in 1989 to build one of these for a customer. . Still one of the most beautifully complicated cars I have ever had the chance to build. The hobby shop owner tossed me a 1200 red SCR stick pack and said thanks man great work. I must have done something right! I had a list of builds to do after that. Clod, Double Dare, Hornet, Assault, Fox, Boomerang, Burns, Ultima, RC10, JRX2, and a few others. Was good money for my RC racing habit at 14 years old.

The Avante was my first RC car. I ordered this in early 1988. I was a novice and had never built anything like this. Took me about 2 weeks. Did not drive this very much as it was so labor intensive to assemble never wanted to damage the thing. I sold this for 3 times what I paid. Wish I would not have sold it now!

Absolutely gorgeous build. Well done! The Avante as you said is Iconic for a lot of reasons and although it was a flop on the track, it's a thing of beauty. so 80's. As many that are into RC's, I grew up in the mid 80's with a few Tamiya cars but never got the Avante. Was pure froth back then. My current list of RC's are from Traxxas, Arrma, Axial and their ilk. Looking at buying the 2011 Avante for some very light use and shelf queen duties. Been a while since I've built a Tamiya (lol 1990) Looking forward to finding an unbuilt Re-Re. Thank You for sharing this video... Some great ideas for someone that is so used to RTR's.

Superb work. Really took me back, I was lucky enough to own an original in ‘88. Picked it up from a local hobby shop in the UK with that years (modest) Christmas bonus from work. The kit had been sitting in the window for months so the box was faded, so the proprietor knocked £50 off the price, rather generous I thought… The build was great fun, and I ran it pretty hard (well, it was to be used… right)… there were weak points (especially where metal threaded barrels went into the rigid plastic turn knuckles), so an engineer buddy of mine milled me some metal ones to replace the plastic the threaded barrels went into. Made such a difference to the strength. Anyway, enjoy owning that piece of history!

@@MechanicAfterHours Not all Tamiya genuine products are best for their kits. They've also made some useless or flawed "upgrades/hop-ups". I also use some custom self made and aftermarket parts that I believe are better designed by other manufacturers. Surprisingly, some of them turn out to be even cheaper.

Such a clean work flow. Multiple electric screw drivers, parts all organized and even a Tupperware dish to collect all the debit. The camera never moved and the work just kept on without a hitch. Hats off to you for producing such a great video. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not only that you are highly skilled throughout the entire process including the awesome paint job on the driver. 👍👍

I bought one when it first released. I recall everything going together with impressive precision which made building it a rewarding experience.

The effort you put into the body and the driver figure alone is enough to give me head pain.

Thanks, SANDSCORCHER! Haha! Yes, I tell myself to ignore the driver but I still end up working on it.

Mine is still sat in my loft... unbuilt. Bought lots of nice things for it. Just can’t get the motivation to build the damn thing. So congratulations on not only getting motivated to build yours, but to build it to this extent AND make a cool film of it all too😎👍🏻 Many thanks for sharing the wealth😎

What an incredible build. Thank you for posting this and the other builds you have done. I have learned at least half a dozen tricks and techniques I will apply to my own Avante 2011 build. You have awesome talent....
