Blimey! When you hop up a car you really go for it don't you?! I'm liking those rims a lot - they'd look sweet with RPM street treads on them! :thumbs_up:

As for silly power; have you seen Belly's nitro Mini-T? :chuckle: NITRO MINI-T!

nitro mini t !!!!

reckon id still have him :guns:

very tastey :elv:

Now that's just silly, NOBODY needs that many cars! I suggest you get your arse up to EB sometime and break a few - that way you'll have space for new ones!

As for my Xmas pressie I've chosen the red Stratos please! :santa:

looky here its a trinity 2 speed nitro tourer witha .12 novarossi that i got through RCR sales ads (cheers mike)

Monty,

The (Java/Jade) Green with Orange arches Mini..

This just happens to be One of My all time Favourites from the Real World of Mini's, from all i have looked at, at the many shows i've been to.

Is this just coincidence or do you know the Real one ?

Tell me its yours i'll have beat you !!


:joker: :joker:

I know the real one too but dont worry it aint mine mate the rc one has had the thrashing of a lifetime unlike the real one though !

OMFG A TYRRELL P34!!!!
I MUST HAVE!!!!!

a perfect original mint avante is the latest in my collection. hardly worked out cheap but cooorrr just look at that !!

OMG thats lush dude :cool: :cool: :cool:

How old is it?

i'm guessing here but i reckon 1991 they came out?

Wow thats in amazing condition. Did they have a rather complicated front end?

i used to have some old tamiya catalogues but i've lost them, must have got lost when i moved house :( they had all the old classics in.

maybe monty has some old catalogues?

yeh this must be THE most over engineered car ever but god its soo damn great looking
:D
have loads of the old tamiya catalogues here whattdya wanna see ??? :D

Neil, not sure of the workings of the front end off hand, it does look rather complicated though, and wheel fittings are unique as well

monty i'm thinking maybe... hotshot? or top force evo? and the avante :thumbs_up:

i you get time sometime soon to scan them and post up cheers buddy

oh and avante is now 18 years old was released on 31- March - 1988

so you not 2 far off Matt ;)

:cool2: thanks dude, some trick engineering there with those parts,

what was the price of the avante can you remember? was it like way more expensive than the rest of the 4wd range?

very nice cars m8, i wish i had more then my 3 atm lol :lol:

OMG!!! big money they must be rare as now, i can't imagine many people could have afforded them

What was Tamiya's first off roader??
