Tamiya 58678 1/10 Avante Comical RC Buggy Kit (GF-01CB Chassis)

Comical Avante!

This R/C model assembly kit creates a 4WD buggy, with a lightweight and durable stylized polycarbonate version of the legendary Avante body. Paint it up in iconic Avante metallic blue, apply the familiar stickers, and voila! A new, Comical Avante! A T-shirted figure is included in the kit for installation at the wheel, as are left and right flags, plus depictions of stylish megaphone muffler ends. The GF-01CB chassis is a gear-driven unit that provides a thrilling drive and super wheelies when you jam on the throttle.

The Tamiya series of comical buggies has been a great hit among fans of radio control modeling. It’s a fun and unique chassis combined with bodies re-imagining Tamiya classic names in polycarbonate. Now, the next model is here and not only does it feature a brand-new subject in the shape of the Comical Avante, it also introduces another new chassis variant, the GF-01CB!

GF-01: Seriously Stable 4WD

This gear-driven 4WD chassis is based around a lightweight and tough monocoque frame, with power provided by the centrally-positioned motor. Sealed gearboxes protect from dust and debris and are integrated into the frame, while the built-in differential gears provide smooth cornering. This is reinforced by 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with CVA oil dampers and a two-piece tie rod steering setup with the servo on the left for excellent response. Two-piece wheels are joined by ST block bubble tires, and WR-02 or GF-01 Hop-Up Option parts are available to hop-up your model.
