Hello and welcome to the last of my build videos on the Tamiya TD4 Super Avante. Today we will be completing the build by cutting out and painting the body and various other bits and applying the decals.
Once again my heart felt thanks go out to the legend that is the RC Elf for gifting this model to not only me but many other RC enthusiasts out there. You truly are a hero to us all!
The Kit.
Tamiya is delighted to announce a brand new 1/10 R/C 4WD off-road buggy model. It employs the newly designed TD4 chassis and a stylish body produced by Kota Nezu, who has contributed to a number of popular Tamiya products.
About the model
This is a 1/10 R/C assembly kit.
Length: 338mm, height: 124mm, width: 246mm. Wheelbase: 283mm.
The eye-catching polycarbonate body (inspired by Tamiya classic, Avante) is designed by Japanese designer Kota Nezu of znug design.
Newly designed shaft-driven 4WD chassis based on the one-piece monocoque frame features the same ball differentials for front and rear, and features a longitudinal battery pack position in the centre and an amidships transverse motor for optimum balance and improved performance.
The TD4 chassis also employs a front inboard suspension layout which eliminates the need for a front damper stay and offers slim, low-profile form.
The four wheel double wishbone suspension system uses CVA oil dampers for superlative performance.
Features full ball bearings.
Two link rods and crank arm transmit movement of the left-side servo to the three-piece steering arm setup.
Turnbuckle shafts for use with upper arms facilitate camber angle adjustment.
Star dish wheels are paired with square spike tires which offer superlative grip off-road.
Choose between high and low type wing stays to adjust the down force depending on the road surface.
Comes with a driver figure for extra realism, and high-torque servo saver.
