The Avante is not a good chassis anymore when the X series and TZ-X series comes out right? Because it didnt have side bars to support the car...
I find it funny that they say the body is made from Durable ABS plastic, because no matter how durable the plastic is, a straight forward crash into walls with a power engine on will still tear the whole piece into 2

I remembered when I was playing mini 4WD during those primary school days I was using a zero chasis which did not have a side bar too, but i zhang the bumper and add the tail attachment as well as putting 4 stabiling poles to it which works really well. Oh, have to put all those rollers into the stabilizing poles as well.
What really matters is the Hyper Dash motor, must unwind the green cables manually and rewind it tightly again. Then season it by running it for a few hours. Har, those good old days

Ya, I remember zhnging my motor a lot, I pour a lot of coolant on it and let it run for about 2 hours before offing it daily, so it was really seasoned, but it can only last about 1 basketball size track and it has to be cooled down..
And that same motor wrecked my whole X chasis, It flew out of the track, and dashed right out of the road, and before I could reach it, it has already touched the other side of the walls and cracked the whole thing into half.

Not a new release but a re-release from Fujimi, but I sure am gonna grab me 1 each of the Fujimi British Phantoms FG.1(Royal Navy) & FGR.2(RAF). Expensive though, at 2500yen each.
