Does anyone own an original Tamiya Avante?

For those of you who do own one can you show some pics?

I have a Vanquish, it's the "poor man's avante" - does that count?

The vanqish is close enough to an avante so it counts. Do you still run it?

i have run it a few times, mostly it's a shelf queen as parts and hard to come by and pricy. it's a cool ride though, handles great!

Sounds like a perfect candidate for a restoration project.

You should post some pics starting with the beginning through the end of the restoration. If any RC deserves a restoration job it is a vintage tamiya buggy.

your probebly right but I need to learn how to post pics first... the only problem with it is the electrics though so it would be kind of a short restoration.

All mine needs is a new front shock tower, a new body, and a good cleaning and it's mint. Love the trailing arm rear suspension, they just don't make them like that anymore.
