Time to test my personal jewel in my DF-02 collection 2023: My brushless and hopped-up Tamiya Aero Avante, a restored Rising Storm from the winter projects. Love it or hate it. Well, I love it, partly because I have zero "Avante Orthodox" feelings, but I think it needs some RPM or gear ratio adjustments. Definitely slower than the tractors in this video and almost the same top speed as the stock set-up.
This video was shot in the summer, a couple of months ago.
Full specifications and list of parts, electronics and upgrades down below!
