Meet the Tamiya 18662 Avante Mk.III Nero MS chassis kit

The Tamiya 18662 Avante Mk.III Nero brings performance and collectability to the 1/32 Mini 4WD range. Built around the MS chassis, this kit emphasises toughness and adaptability for track setups. The body uses Smoke ABS plastic to deliver a clean, modern finish, while the bundled Light-Dash PRO motor raises speed potential for competitive racing.

Construction and styling notes

The MS chassis is moulded in red ABS and paired with white A parts to give a distinct look and solid base for upgrades. Metallic decal sheets are included so you can personalise the model. Its dimensions of 155mm length, 104mm width and 42mm height fit standard circuit rules and layouts.

Included performance hardware

This kit supplies useful upgrade parts including a 1.5mm FRP front stay and rear brake stay to improve stability during high speed sections. Low resistance rollers and mass dampers are fitted to control vibration and cornering. The High-Speed EX Gear Set with a 3.7:1 ratio is specified for the MS chassis so you can balance acceleration and top speed.

Assembly tips and what's in the box

The Tamiya 18662 Jr Avante Mk.III Nero is an assembly kit that offers hands-on building and tuning. It needs two AA batteries not supplied. Tools like the supplied spanner and hex wrench and rubber tubing assist assembly. The kit is ideal for modders who want to refine Mini 4WD performance or expand a display collection.

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!
