The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Ultimate All-in-One Jumpstart! If you’re looking to dive into the world of Tamiya Mini 4WD without the guesswork, this Starter Pack is exactly what you need. It takes the iconic Aero Avante and bundles it with a curated selection of "Grade-Up" parts specifically chosen to dominate high-speed circuits. At Hobby Hideaway, we highly recommend this kit for beginners because it doesn’t just give you a car—it gives you a pre-tuned racing machine and the actual tools needed to build it. It’s the perfect entry point for anyone looking to join our local racing scene.
The AR Chassis: Aerodynamic Excellence The AR Chassis is the heart of this high-speed build, designed with a heavy focus on aerodynamic efficiency and easy maintenance. Its underside is sculpted to create a smooth airflow, while its unique layout allows you to swap batteries and motors without removing the body—a huge advantage during a busy race day at our track. Known for its rigidity and durability, the AR platform provides a rock-solid foundation that handles the extra power of the Rev-Tuned motor with ease, making it a favorite for both high-speed layouts and technical jumps.
Pre-Tuned for High-Speed Action This isn't just a basic build; it’s a high-speed specialist. The inclusion of the Rev-Tuned 2 Motor PRO and 3.5:1 "Super Speed" gears means this car is designed to scream down the straights. To keep all that power under control, Tamiya has included essential aero and stability parts like FRP plates and mass dampers, ensuring your Aero Avante stays planted when the racing gets intense.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: While this kit is designed for speed, the included AR Brake Set is your best friend on technical tracks. By adjusting the height of the rear brake sponge, you can "teach" the car to slow down just enough before jumps to avoid flying off the track. Once you've mastered the assembly, bring it down to our track to test different brake heights and see your lap times drop!
