Tamiya 18662 – Avante Mk.III Nero Advanced Pack (MS Chassis)

This assembly kit creates a special advanced version of the Avante Mk.III Nero with race-spec tune-up parts aplenty. The body is tinted plastic while the chassis is a crisp combination of red and white parts. Tune-up parts include the well-balanced Light-Dash Motor PRO, FRP wide plates and a high-speed EX gear set, as well as mass dampers and super-hard small diameter low-profile tires. Of course, tools such as a spanner and wrench are also in the box so you can get the car built up!

The Avante Mk.III Nero Advanced Pack is a race-ready Mini 4WD kit built for drivers chasing real performance straight out of the box. Combining the sharp Avante Mk.III Nero with a comprehensive selection of competition-focused tune-up parts, this set is designed to dramatically improve stability, speed, and completion rates on high-speed, undulating courses.

Finished with a smoked body, red MS chassis, and white A-parts, the Nero retains the iconic Avante silhouette while delivering a bold, modern look. This Advanced Pack is ideal for racers stepping beyond stock setups and looking for a serious performance upgrade without piecing parts together individually.

 

Advanced Tuning, Ready to Race

 

Included in the pack is the Light-Dash Motor PRO, offering an excellent balance of power and current efficiency to maximise battery performance. FRP front and rear wide stays expand roller mounting positions for increased stability, while the High-Speed EX Gear (3.7:1) delivers strong performance on technical courses where acceleration matters.

Landing stability is significantly improved thanks to a combination of cylindrical and slim mass dampers, while super hard small-diameter low-profile tires reduce bounce after jumps and help maintain speed through corners. A full tool set is also included, making this an approachable upgrade even for first-time custom builders.

 

MS Chassis: Midship Stability and Flexibility

 

The MS (Midship) chassis uses a three-piece construction with a centrally mounted double-shaft motor and battery layout. This configuration delivers excellent balance and stability at speed, while allowing quick, tool-free access to the nose, centre, and tail sections for fast setup changes and tuning.
