1/32 JR Mini 4WD Aero Avante (AR Chassis)

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Aerodynamic Pioneer! The Aero Avante holds a special place in Mini 4WD history as the machine that launched the REV Series. It takes the legendary silhouette of the original Avante Jr. and reimagines it with a heavy focus on airflow and cooling. At Hobby Hideaway, we recommend this kit for racers who appreciate a ground-effect design and a chassis that is as easy to maintain as it is to tune.

The Versatile AR Chassis The AR Chassis is a favorite for its user-friendly engineering. It was the first platform to feature a removable under-panel and diffuser, allowing you to swap batteries and motors from the bottom without ever removing the body shell. Its aerodynamic monocoque frame is designed to channel air directly over the motor and batteries, keeping them cool during long, high-speed sessions on the track.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Aerodynamic Body: A modern, streamlined take on the classic Avante wedge shape, featuring integrated air intakes and a drag-reducing rear wing.

• AR Chassis Layout: Rear-motor, single-shaft design with a long 82mm wheelbase for superior straight-line stability.

• Built-in Rear Skid Bar: Includes a low-friction rear skid bar to help settle the car on sloped track sections and prevent fly-offs.

• Standard Drivetrain: Comes with a Type 130 motor and a 4.2:1 gear ratio, providing a great balance of torque and top speed.

• Expansion Ready: Features 6 rollers and 33 separate screw attachment positions for extensive customization.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: The AR chassis is incredibly rigid, which is great for power transfer but can make the car jumpy on landing. To smooth things out, we suggest adding a set of mass dampers to the side stays. The real beauty of the AR chassis is between races—using the bottom hatch to swap out hot batteries for fresh ones takes seconds, keeping you on the track longer!
