Tamiya 18662 – Avante MK III Nero Advanced (MA Chassis)

The Avante MK III Nero Advanced is a refined and competition-ready Mini 4WD kit built on the MS chassis — a platform known for its rigidity, smooth power delivery, and excellent tuning potential. The body is moulded in smoke ABS for a sleek, performance-focused look, while the included Light-Dash PRO motor gives the car noticeably stronger acceleration and top-end speed out of the box.

This kit is a great choice for racers who want a solid base for upgrades, or builders who enjoy assembling and fine-tuning a machine for club racing and technical track layouts.
