The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Maximum Speed Meets Aerodynamic Heritage! The Avante is one of the most legendary names in Mini 4WD racing, and this Mk.II Clear Body Set brings that classic aerodynamic wedge shape into the modern era. When you are looking to shave fractions of a second off your lap times, swapping a hard plastic body for a clear polycarbonate shell is one of the most effective upgrades you can make. At Hobby Hideaway, we highly recommend this set for racers who want to drastically lower their machine's center of gravity and boost overall acceleration.
Lightweight Polycarbonate Performance A lighter body means your motor doesn't have to work as hard to pull the car out of tight corners. More importantly, it significantly lowers the overall center of gravity, meaning your machine is much less likely to roll over in high-speed curves or bounce erratically after landing a steep jump.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Ultra-Lightweight: Molded in thin, highly durable clear polycarbonate that drastically reduces the weight of your car compared to standard ABS plastic bodies.
Customizable Finish: The clear shell allows you to create your own custom track aesthetic by painting from the inside out.
Complete Mounting Kit: Includes dedicated body mount parts and a vibrant set of stickers to complete the iconic Avante Mk.II look.
Chassis Compatibility: Designed to fit the double-shaft motor MA Chassis and MS Chassis platforms.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: If this is your first time working with a clear polycarbonate body, remember that you paint the inside of the shell, not the outside! Be sure to use Tamiya PS (Polycarbonate Spray) paints, as standard TS plastics sprays will flake off the flexible polycarbonate when your car takes an impact against the track wall. Since the body is so light, you might need to adjust your mass dampers slightly after installation to compensate for the new weight distribution.
