Hello and welcome to this first run of the new TD4 Super Avante 4WD Buggy 1/10 RC kit from Tamiya. Rob and I started the filming the day before, but I had a problem with the rear differential - the thread stripped out of the dreaded A5 plastic "nut" that holds the diff together! Anyway, with that fixed we returned to run this awesome buggy on sand, grass, dirt and road to give it a proper test. A massive thanks to Rob for his help making this video.
This Tamiya was a gift from the awesome RC Elf - massive thanks go out to him! I hope you enjoy the first run, take care and happy RCing!
About the Super Avante:
The TD4 is a shaft-driven 4WD buggy chassis which employs front inboard suspension for slim, low-profile form. It features a longitudinal battery pack position in the center and a midship transverse motor for optimum balance and improved performance. The drivetrain uses full bearings, and sealed front/rear gearboxes have built-in ball differentials. Two link rods and crank arm transmit movement of the left-side servo to the three-piece steering arm setup. 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension utilizes CVA oil dampers. Turnbuckle shaft upper arms facilitate camber angle adjustment. Two types (high/low) of wing stays are included and star dish wheels are paired with square spike tires which offer superlative grip off-road.
