Overall length = 425mm The photo shows the assembled kit.
The body and driver doll have been painted and cut.


Custom offroader transformed into bright colors
This is a wild one offroader customized by graphic designer JUN WATANABE, who is also known as a big Tamiya RC fan. In contrast to the original version, which features a wide and low body structure and wild black and red coloring, the Wild One Off-Roader BLOCKHEAD MOTORS features a bright light blue that excites off-road driving. Moreover, the polycarbonate body is painted in light blue and has been cut. The window net, bib plate, and dummy antenna will make your run more exciting. Of course, the BLOCKHEAD MOTORS logo, the mascot mark of the turtle, and many sponsor marks are prepared with stickers.

4 The rear-wheel drive chassis equipped with German suspension creates a metallic feel
The frame is a box type made of ABS resin that is light and highly durable. The battery case is compatible with LF batteries as well as 7.2V racing packs. Wide tread specification for 4-wheel independent suspension with single trailing arm. Both front and rear are equipped with aluminum cylinder oil dampers, and especially the front damper mount is also made of aluminum. The gear case mounted on the rear end is a sealed type that shuts out the intrusion of sand and pebbles that are inherent in off-road. It has a built-in differential gear to ensure smooth cornering. In addition, the drive shaft joint is equipped with a dog bone type with excellent wear resistance and dust boots to improve driving reliability. Moreover, JUN’s commitment is also to the chassis. The roll bar with insert molded metal parts is silver. It is also a point to use plated parts for the wheels, front and rear suspension arms, side guards, and gearbox to create a metallic feel.

Spaceship or RC Car?! Tamiya Super Avante TD4 4WD review by RC Driver



Tamiya is known for bringing us unique chassis offerings. The RC Kits they offer are developed to give us a fun building experience, to gain our interest through unique designs and to deliver fun when we drive them. Many of the kits are simple, but Tamiya also steps up some of their designs too. They did this with the all new TD4 chassis. This kit still says Tamiya at its core, but it also has better quality components than their typical RC models. This new platform carries the name Super Avante after one of their popular buggies of the past. In this video we take a close look at this new 4wd electric off-road buggy and it’s interesting styling. We’ll of course take it out for a drive too and review it with a more critical eye than a standard Tamiya model kit. Yes, we understand Tamiya and what their models are about. If you are a Tamiya Fan, you know. This is one kit that Tamiya fans really need to see!
