Avante 2001 restored and hopped up
Had always wanted one of these, so when I chanced upon a new built example which seller claimed still had all its original parts I snapped it up straight away. Though I would later regret this decision when I received it, opened the box to find the buggy was not as they claimed. The chassis was some dodgy custom cut homemade frp plates not original tamiya, also they'd cross threaded & over tightened almost all the screws. Long story short I acquired a very difficult restoration project but I managed to bring it back to a respectable condition and fit it with some nice hop ups, its now one of my favourite tamiyas in my collection.

It is a shame when someone manipulates the truth and then perhaps even allowed to get off the hook by auctioning under the 'WYSIWYG' and no returns, etc, we have all seen the remarks and claims if we EVER shop on eBay.
It does look like a gem though, so your work was not in vain.

The amount of liars on ebay is just beyond a joke. I've bought so much recently that the description just doesn't cover what's wrong with the item, it just fry's my brain. Lovely avante

Thanks for the comments everyone I glad you guys like it , took me over a year to get the parts I needed to rebuild the chassis. The body, wing & driver were well painted so I kept it along with the wheels, tyres & dyna tech motor everything else on it is new.
