어디에서도 본적이 없는 독특한 샤시구조 서스암이 신선함이었으며 당시에는 꿈의 아이템이었죠 !!
미래에서 온듯한 바디가 현재까지도 질리지 않고 멋있어보이는건 저 뿐일까요??
얼마전까지 오리지널 아반테 이글레스를 보유했었던 저도 다시 갖고 싶어지는 아이템이네요
In March 1988, Tamiya released an electric R/C 4WD
racing buggy called the "Avante" and it has since become a special machine in
Tamiya's R/C history. The machine featured a unique shaft-driven 4WD system
which was taken from Tamiya's first 4WD R/C buggy, the Hotshot. It also featured
a highly sophisticated design including a FRP double-deck chassis layout,
longitudinal motor & battery positions, and a formula-type body with chassis
fairing. It was equipped with innovative components such as a compact gearbox
with 3 small planetary gears, a center diff to increase stability, a fully
adjustable suspension, and cam-lock wheel caps.
The Avante was a distinctive R/C machine which featured
an innovative design. After 20 years, some of the Avante's mechanisms have
become standard features on modern R/C cars. The ultimate pure racing buggy
returns in 2011.
Tamiya has given the Avante (2011) the special
re-release treatment just like other re-released buggies such as the Buggy Champ
and Hotshot. Here is a brief introduction of the improved points.
Main frame material has been changed from FRP to carbon fiber. Original FRP
upper/lower decks have been replaced with 2.0mm thick carbon fiber decks to
further increase chassis strength and rigidity. Chassis layout is optimized for
installing modern R/C equipment.
Carbon Fiber Rear Damper Stay Rear damper stay is thicker than the original
and its material has also been changed to carbon fiber. Left and right stays are
connected to further increase rigidity.
Assembly Universal Shafts WO universal shafts are used for both front and
rear to reduce friction loss.
Easier Damper Maintenance The gold-colored oil damper cylinders feature
bottom caps for easier maintenance such as replacing o-rings.
Durable Polycarbonate Body Shell The body, wing, and chassis fairing have
been made with polycarbonate for superb off-road durability.
Wheel Axle/Clamp Type Wheel Hubs Wheel axles have been changed to standard
pin-secured type. In conjunction with aluminum wheel hubs, secure wheel
attachment is possible. The hex wheel hubs enable attachment of off-road wheels
such as Item 53880 Large Dish Wheels (4WD/Front, 62/25) and Item 53881 Large
Dish Wheels (Rear, 62/35) in addition to the original cam-lock type wheels.
Duralumin front knuckles The original die-cast front knuckles have been
replaced with duralumin knuckles to further increase strength and durability.
New knuckles feature the same shape as the original.
Compatible with a wide range of battery packs. The Avante (2011) is
compatible with a wide range of Tamiya battery products such as Ni-Cd,
high-capacity Ni-MH, and lightweight LF battery packs.
Latest R/C Systems The Avante is compatible with all Tamiya R/C systems
including the 2.4GHz systems.
The Original Packaging is also Revived! The package for this re-release
model comes with the same design and dimensions as the original Avante. In
addition, just like the original Avante, all the parts are stored in blister
packs. The �Avante� logo and rear wing sticker will remain the same as the
original. Other stickers will be of a new Tamiya design.
