Tamiya AVANTE Build / Video 1 / Steps 1-6

[@OgreSupreme]

Being and r/c and Tamiya fan, I've been a long time admirer of your channel. Not only do you possess extreme skills in your video productions, you've also proven yourself to be a master tutor and tech builder. Thanks for sharing these tutorials and all of your r/c experiences with us!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks so much for your very nice comment! I really appreciate your good words and it's a big motivation for me!

[@madtopp]

it impossible for you to have a boring video and this great kit is gonna be a absolute joy to watch

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you so much! So pleased to get your nice feedback!

[@craze1701]

When you opened the box, I just wowed on how glorious that blister packaging was. It brought back so many memories.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Yes, the nice blister packs from the good old times. Nice they have it now at least for the Avante! 😊

[@kodoyama]

So good to see that Tamiya have listened to the fans/collectors and gone back to the old school blister packaging. Really makes me want to start collecting the reissue kits now.

[@Matteomeier]

This is a re-edition of the Avante from 2011. Hope they will do it on further re-releases too. Unfortunately they dit not it on the Bigwig 2017.

[@kodoyama]

That's too bad, but hopefully they will start doing it for more of the re-issues. I'll definitely be picking up this one. Looking forward to more build videos!

[@rcBitz]

I could not have wished for a better build series from you. I always dreamt of owning this truck and only have a second hand one. Great work as always.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you so much Martin! Your comments are always highly appreciated!

[@sheep8428]

Its not boring at all! I watched all of em and i love it!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Glad to hear this!

[@the80s365]

It's the music that makes me happy. So smooth. So relaxing. Never change. Just received my Avante as well. Looking forward to seeing your finished version. As a couple of other commenters have said, would be great to have you compare the Egress and Avante and also your opinion on your favourite buggy 2WD, favourite buggy 4WD, favourite truck etc.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your good words, especially about the music! I really have to say your question about my favorite Tamiya is very hard and nearly impossible to answer. Bruiser, Monster Beetle or Hotshot, or Avante... the decision is strongly influenced by the memories of old days in the 80es!

Matteo's RC Movies What is the song Name/Artist?

[@rolexr]

Wow - der Nächste in Deiner Sammlung. Auch Der weckt wieder Jugend Erinnerungen ;-) Der war damals schon ein sehr schnelles Auto!

[@Matteomeier]

Danke Robert! Ja, ein sehr eigenwilliges Design, auch das Chassis. Typisch Tamiya halt!

[@fildadic4217]

Always loved this buggy! Looking forward to the rest of the build!

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you Fil!

[@filipgruner4255]

Nice to see the building! I feel like I'm making the Avante too! :-) I look forward to next steps! Great job.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Filip!

[@StefanDembowski]

VERY COOL! Can't wait to see it complete and in use.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you Stefan!

[@nighthawkj30A4]

So glad the Avante was re-release again its just like the 2011 version.

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, it's the 2011 version, but I missed it in 2011, so I am glad about this!

[@Dr-Pepper]

Verry Nice to watch , not boring at all . Thanks !

[@Matteomeier]

Glad to hear this! Thanks so much!

[@davewarner8401]

informative, not boring!!! thanks dave

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks so much Dave! Glad to hear this!

[@ishtiaqahmed3629]

Great videos as always and not boring at all and I like the detail build videos keep them coming

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks a lot! Glad to hear this!

[@MauriceRCProductions]

Ein sehr schönes Bauvideo Matteo! Einfach genial zu sehen wie so ein Modell wächst! Freue mich schon auf die weiteren Teile! Daumen hoch!👍

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank Maurice, hoffe das Teil 2 bis Freitag fertig wird!

[@donovangladden9074]

this is the porno of RC...mesmerizing to watch, but so much more fun to actually do! Great video sir 😁

[@Matteomeier]

:-) Thanks so much! This is true!

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Matteo, I have been wanting to see this Build from you!! 😉 Now I get to see it as an entire Series, the way I enjoy. Thank you for this my friend!! Carmine 🚂🚙

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

I am only a little surprised that you chose not to use the Threadlock on the Motor or the Pinion Grub Screw. Have you not had problems with them coming looze? As expected, I am enjoying this Series! I hope you do more like this.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Carmine! No, I never use threadlock on the small screw on the pinion. Never had problems with it. I think it can be difficult to re-open the small screw when using threadock...

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

You're correct my friend. I use a tiny drop of Blue Loctite and wipe most of that off before use. I would never recommend this to someone of little experience! There is no way of knowing how much they will use. You're absolutely right though! In my 38 years in the Hobby, I've only had a Pinion Grub Screw back out ONCE. Still, I like the insurance. 😉

[@Xoarkitty]

Always wanted one of these very unique buggies. Thanks for the video.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your nice feedback!

[@BasBoyRC]

Get bored no way great to see this kit built. I can now see why it's so expensive, just opening the box looked cool :-)

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks a lot! Glad you lie it!

[@stefanstreck5342]

Wieder ein Top Video Mateo! Mach mehr Solche Videos, ich finde diese sehr Interesant!

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank! Freut mich zu hören!

[@4x4rcenthusiasts88]

It's always so nice to build a Tamiya RC model (and to watch your videos) :-)

[@Matteomeier]

Yes it is! Thanks for your good feedback!

[@jackbaker2878]

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Mike!

[@progressbeerc9684]

Nice narration I love that tamiya buggy it looks class enjoy the build :)

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks so much!

[@tadficuscactus]

It would be interesting to hear you compare the Egress to the Avante.

[@Matteomeier]

To do this I need an Egress as first....

[@ShenRC]

Awesome buggy can't wait to see a running video! 😀

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Steve! Yes, I am looking forward to drive it!

[@nighthawkj30A4]

I have 3 favorite Tamiya rcs and thats the CC-01 Unimog 425 and cc-01 Isuzu Mu Type x and Finally Avante

[@Remoteaddicted]

Super Build, Matteo. Der Avante ist ein besonderer Leckerbissen 👌

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank! Ja das find ich auch!

[@SupertecRacing]

Excellent video!

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you!

[@RcAVENTURE.V.F.R]

Excellent brother, good job 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍, thank you for sharing

[@Matteomeier]

Merci merci mon ami!

[@RcAVENTURE.V.F.R]

***** avec plaisir mon ami

[@AdamAus85]

Cool. Love some insight into your excellent builds. I have 3 Tamiya kits at home that I started building and haven't finished. Oy vey. Cheers Matteo

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Adam! Oh, a lot of work (fun) for you!

[@corinful]

Awesome video as usual Matteo....I've often wondered do you have a favourite Tamiya vehicle and if so which model? Thanks .

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! It's not easy to answer your question. Tamiya have many nice, iconic RC cars. But if I have to mention one I would say the Bruiser, or the Hotshot... or the Monster Beetle.... or... or.... :-)

[@TheCarTakerGarage]

hehehehe...or ...or ..or....i agree on that comment :)Greetings from Norway by the way :)

[@Matteomeier]

👍 Greetings from Switzerland!

[@wernerracingteam]

Ein voll cooler Buggy! 👍👍😃 Wir haben auch noch den 1. in super Zustand.

[@Matteomeier]

Super! Hatte auch den originalen damals, aber irgendwie kam er mir abhanden...

[@wernerracingteam]

Dann hatten wir damals schon das 21Jhdt. 😉

[@wernerracingteam]

HighTech😁

[@alexbravo9saldana]

Hi, how are you, have you a video of Build a F1 car? regards!!!

[@Matteomeier]

No, unfortunately not from an F1 car.

[@overspray5281]

great video very entertaining and good information

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you Stefan!

[@Dan-em9sk]

As always, Great start Matteo. Waiting for next steps. From what I can see, it looks to be very similar to the Vajra. I also like your Tamiya tools. Any info on them?

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks John! Yes, the Vajara is something like a Truggy Avante! Tamiya tools are good quality, can not say more. www.rcjaz.com/tamiya-74085-rc-tool-set-8pcs-p-90007380.html

[@PeterDunkelBestofRcMODELVIDS]

hat tamiya noch elektrischen schrauber im angebot

[@Matteomeier]

Nö... ich stehe eh auf Handarbeit! :-)

[@NiekkieNick]

Got the same kit still unbuild in box! Are you going to ride it or is it going to be a shelf queen?

[@Matteomeier]

Nice! Mine have to feel the dirt for sure. A running video is also on the list.

[@N_Fortune]

Great videos btw! Isn't threadlocker for metal to metal, not metal to plastic? Threadlocker can eat away the plastic & make it brittle...

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, thread lock is only for metal in metal, I only use it on these....

[@irwan_rc2416]

Hi Matteo, what the best tamiya buggy in your opinion? I know tamiya has alot of legend car. And I've interested to have one. Thank you

[@Matteomeier]

Depends what you like.. more a cheap one.. 2wd or 4wd.. more modern or a true classic?

[@ottomazzolino1574]

Hoi Matteo, du brauchst bald einen Elektroschrauber, sehr gut gemacht!

[@Matteomeier]

Danke O, aber ich stehe auf Handarbeit! :-)

[@maxx3543]

Das sieht schon gut aus 🖒😃

[@Matteomeier]

Danke, ja der Avante ist was besonderes!

[@megatremoloud8213]

Hello there, may I ask what's that 'blue' lube that you're using for those screws and what's its purpose?? Anyway this is an awesome assembling video, one of a kind... looking forward to watch the next progress!!!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your compliments! The blue liquid is Thread Lock, something like a glue to secure screws. It prevents self loosening of screws going in metal.

[@megatremoloud8213]

Matteo's RC Movies thanks for responding and thanks for the info bro, think that I should have one coz I'm gonna build my manta ray soon after i receive it from the courier...👍👍👍

[@kazacorpora]

lucky man , it's my favorite model that i would like to build

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Kaza! Yes Avante is something special!

[@zhengu1103]

hello Can you tell me what glue you use?

[@Matteomeier]

It's not glue, it's thread look. It prevents self loosing of screws. Tamiya offers this product also: www.rcmart.com/tamiya-87004-liquid-thread-lock-p-823.html?cPath=1555_779

[@SWISSRCCHANNEL]

Zeigst du scher schön! Habe zwar bisschen schneller geschaut, wie du sagst ;).. Können wir dann mal ein Avante Brother-Video machen. Habe noch den 1. von damals in Top-Zustand...

[@Matteomeier]

Toll das du noch so viele originale von damals hast. Hatte auch einen und viele andere, aber alle verloren über die Jahre... zum Glück für mich gibt es die re-releases!

[@valu7517]

great video :)

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks!

[@maokaki2502]

すばらしい！

[@Matteomeier]

ありがとうございます！

[@mattfranks4335]

Very good widiow.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you Matt!

[@giorgiocastro]

coooooooooooooool

[@Matteomeier]

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!

[@neontetra1000]

Bit boring . I would say time lapse. Or 10x speed would be more satisfying. Look forward to seeing the finished buggy!

[@corinful]

neontetra1000 if it's boring don't watch ......simple really !

[@Matteomeier]

I agree with you! But as I said in the video you can skip forward or increase the speed directly in youtube over the settings. So, all the others can see what they want.
