From Avante 2011 to Super Avante: High End Tamiya RC Cars Upgrade & Maintenance for Beginners Avante 2011/Black SP, Egress, VQS and Super Avante In 1988, Tamiya did something that seemed almost impossible.

An RC car track with artificial grass (often called astro turf) is a popular, durable, and low-maintenance, all-weather racing surface for RC vehicles.

When you command a turn using differential thrust, you are asking the motors to spin up on one side and […]
