Racing Mini 4WD Series No.101

SUPER AVANTE Jr. (VZ)

Length: 158 mm. Image shows painted and assembled kit.

This assembly kit creates the Super Avante Jr., a shaft-driven Mini 4WD car with its own body based on the 1/10 scale Super Avante R/C model's; both have been designed by Mr. Kota Nezu of znug design. There is plenty to catch the eye, from depictions of the independent fenders to a molded image of the R/C model's inboard suspension. Canopy and nose window parts can be removed to give the model a vastly different look. The Super Avante Jr. is based upon the VZ chassis, using yellow 12-spoke wheels and low-profile tires, while markings are taken care of by the included metallic stickers.

VZ Chassis
The VZ chassis is a compact and lightweight design that features reinforced designs for bumper, rear stay base and more ensuring that it has the durability and flexibility to withstand racing accidents. It is also a rather adaptable unit that lets its owner make numerous updates to the setup. Low friction 620 plastic bearings are molded in POM and maximize drive efficiency, while the chassis and A parts are molded in ABS. 3.5:1 gears are included.
