1988 Tamiya Avante newly built!
I'm happy - I've always lusted after the Avante (amongst others) since I was a kid and just bought one off eBay from Canada......my wife WILL kill me! See pics and tell me your thoughts. As the 2011 re-release is approx £490 in the UK (ok cheaper from China), surely a new built original must be worth more WITH a Technigold RX-540VZ motor and all original Tamiya EXPEC electrics too....even the TX! I'm just trying to justify what I paid for her .....go on, someone tell me it's worth megabucks pretty please?! It's been run once, as you can see some dirt on the tyres, but is mint, I'll make those tyres black again This is quickly becoming an expensive obsession.....the same guy has an Optima shelf queen and an Optima Mid too.....help!! I'll need to get myself some pedestals made and sit all these in a glass display cabinet. Dan |

That looks great it even has the rare combined receiver/esc!
Yes, expensive hobby indeed... But I love looking at the intricate engineering. Even better to drive once in a while! Given its original it's worth quite a bit...but the top price you'd get for it would be in my opinion blunted given the availability of a re/-release. |

I was offered £450 for mine with no ESC, but had the technigold motor. But as i restored the car myself its staying with me. It had a few new bits from the 2011 model but 90% is either original of new old stock parts from 1988.
I would only consider selling it if a Egress was on offer of simular condition. jK
