Good for Tamiya

Ive got a few Avante's & Egress' myself but im more than happy for them to re-re it - it was a hell of a bit of engineering in the old days ( even if it was never really any good on the track ) and with rough original examples commanding around a couple of hundred quid these days people should be able to buy a new one for hopefully not that much more...

Although i wouldnt be suprised if there would be a few changes - those bloody 'orrible made-of-cheese metal front uprights for one ! They generally lasted as long as it took for you to hit something harder than a large blade of grass... And hopefully the rose joints would be made to tighter tolerances, shock towers beefed up a little etc etc

Enough changes to make it reliable as a fun buggy but not to lose too much of the original specification. That would be perfect
