Description
Away!
This R/C
model assembly kit is an updated re-release version of a 1988 buggy from the
Tamiya back catalog, which inherited its make-up from the legendary
race-oriented Avante. The forward cockpit body design – and the rear wing – are
molded in lightweight polycarbonate and pre-painted black, pre-cut with body
mount holes pre-made to save on some preparation work. An ABS plastic monocoque
frame is employed, with responsive shaft-driven 4WD plus a triple differential
setup, four-wheel double wishbone suspension and plenty more – superb off-road
driving awaits!
Capable
Off-Road Chassis
This
model’s durable ABS plastic monocoque frame protects vital R/C equipment and
boosts suspension performance with its excellent rigidity. A total of three
differentials are employed: small front and rear planetary gear differentials,
and a center differential with ball thrust bearing; front and rear gearboxes
also have maintenance hatches. Universal shafts front and rear ensure smooth,
efficient drive and minimal worry about parts coming loose due to bumps and
shocks, while the Avante-based 4-wheel double wishbone suspension employs
plastic lower arms with threaded shaft upper arms that allow swift adjustment
of camber. Front uprights are aluminum, and stabilizers are included for the
front and rear.
The
Vanquish is a legendary buggy from our R/C back catalog. It’s now available
again in the form of a re-issue assembly kit renamed the VQS. The kit receives
tweaks to the original to bring it into the modern age of R/C fun! We have also
saved builders some work too, with a pre-cut and pre-painted body!
