Robitronic is proud to announce the release of the AVID 1/10th Scale Electric Touring car. The Avid is a high-end touring car designed specially for professional drivers.

There are several high quality competition level cars currently on the market. All of them have many special features that help them stand out on the track. We started the design with the question: What can we do better? So the Avid is designed for maximum performance, easy handling and a lot of new features in the touring car sector. The high-efficiency drive-train with extra large belt pulleys, super strong and smooth aluminum differentials and an improved suspension/steering-geometry for maximum corner speed makes the Avid ready for competition. The chassis is highly developed and require complex manufacturing processes, with special features like new form-fit technology for all chassis and suspension parts. Aluminum is all over this car with steering knuckles, rear hubs and battery mounts as a standard item.

See, feel and drive this machine! It’s a Robitronic!

Bugger me that's expensive.

Looks good though, but at that price, it had better make me coffee inbetween heats too.

Thats about the going price for a Full on Top Spec TC Obs...

You gotta remember it'll come down a bit from that when it hits the Real World.

Keeping my options Wide Open at the mo, ready for my 1st New TC after coming back to RC.

The AE TC5 is looking Nice as well.

plenty of choice for 2007

'tis indeed looking nice, but £300 -odd for a TC is too much for me.

Pity though, it was about a year ago that I got my TC4. Time flies.

Need to start robbing banks. Who's coming with me?
