Pure Fun 4WD RC Car Kit! Tamiya Comical Avante GF-01CB Off-Road Buggy video review by RC Driver



Need a new kit to build? One that is just for pure fun? Perhaps something 4WD and electric? This could be your next kit right here Tamiya Fans! This is the new Tamiya Comical Avante RC Buggy and it’s different from the Tamiya Comical kits we’ve seen before. This Tamiya RC car kit is the first 4WD in the Comical Buggy line which is of course fitting for the Avante name, but it is most certainly going to bump up the fun factor of the drive. The Comical Avante sits on the new chassis variant the GF-01CB. This is Tamiya’s 4wd driveline chassis with oil damped shocks, independent suspension, top mount battery for fun wheelie action and signature spring loaded front bumper. Beyond the new prepainted Avante body, it also has new Bubble Step Block tires! Once you build this kit up on the bench, you’re guaranteed to have a ton of fun driving it! Our review captures all the details and of course features plenty of action too!

Honey, I shrunk the Tamiya Lunch Box – Customizing the SW-01 Chassis

 

While waiting for the new Tamiya SW-01 MudMad, we thought about building a little companion for our big classic lime green Lunch Box. Now this is easy, while using the new SW-01 Lunch Box clear body set No. 54927.

As candy lime green isn´t available in the Tamiya Series of PS Paints, we used Proline Airbrush paint number 6325-05 pearl lime green. It comes very close to the Tamiya paint, and looks incredible in the sun.

These cars are ideal to customize them in so many ways. Enjoy the line of Tamiya Comical RC, and with the new clear body set, which will also be available in the future for the upcoming MudMad, you can customize your SW-01, as you like.

Enjoy !
