Avente runner. Re re

[Mad Racer]

Just finished this as my runner.

I bought it 2/3 built. I finished the build off and ordered a new Body set to run in my color and keep the original box art body to display.

I soon realized that the drive train was very tight so i decided to tear it down as i didn't build it. The front diff was tight and after some closer inspection i found the out drive cup spine rod was bent. So i removed it and fixed the tight action.

The rear was next as that was really tight as well. I spent a long time trying to free it up.( Spur gear to the idler) The Re re has different color gears too my Vanquish so i swapped them over and all is free now.

Next problem was fitting up my Brushless 9t . Very tight fit would be a understatement . It took me ages to fit it up. Had to remove the steering servo to help. Still tight and i have a 16t pinion. I will have to dreamel the top out to adjust the mesh.

Now the FUN part.

WOW this thing has steering and accelerate so hard. That was what i noticed so far.

Will track test at our next vintage meet @ Boondal.

did you run it again today mark? it's so cool

[Mad Racer]

Gazza only used it once and was very tail happy.

Maybe a better tyre choice. Was very quick and suspension worked well.

Will again when i can.

Looked so cool.

I really want to get a re-re, but they are still freggin expensive. Having a hard time in my brain spending that kinda of money (at least right now).

I'm the same way, but having a hard time resisting. It's such a cool car.

Looks good in black. I like when people do something other than the usual box-art. I've been wanting to get an Avante since I was a kid but just like back then, it's still too expensive for me.
