Rev It Up With Aero
2012 marks the 30th anniversary of Tamiya's Mini 4WD products and the new REV Series has been launched to commemorate this milestone. The first machine in this series is the Aero Avante and as the name implies, the body features an aerodynamic-themed redesign of the iconic Avante. The chassis itself has also been engineered with aerodynamics in mind, with the monocoque main frame featuring a ground-effect design with channels to ensure smooth air flow.

Avante Pedigree
The Mini 4WD Avante Jr. has its roots in the high-performance R/C 4WD racing buggy Avante. The body design features a wedge-shaped nose section, sleek body lines, and a large rear wing, and these features had been carried over to other variants such as the Super Avante, Avante Mk.II, and Avante X. The latest design to incorporate this Avante pedigree is the Aero Avante.

Ground-Hugging Form
The ground-hugging body features curved surfaces and air intakes to help provide heat dissipation. The nose section incorporates bargeboards to remove air vortices produced by the front wheels while the large rear wing has a distinctive shape to reduce drag.

Separately Required Items

  • ■Aerodynamic AR Chassis
    New chassis has been designed to offer durability, customizability, and ease of maintenance, which are all vital ingredients for a successful Mini 4WD racer.
  • ■Removable Under Panel
    While pushing side buttons, slide the panel toward the front end to detach. This enables speedy battery changes.
  • ■Removable Diffuser
    While pushing the button at the rear of the diffuser, lift up to detach. This grants access to the motor and gears.
  • ■Diffuser Effect
    Coupled with the smooth airflow under the chassis, the diffuser helps give a Venturi effect to allow the machine to hug the surface of the track.
  • ■Motor Cooling Intake
    In addition to intakes near the cockpit, intakes on the sides of the chassis channel air to effectively cool the motor.
  • ■Battery Cooling Intake
    Air which passes through this nose intake cool the batteries before exiting the outlet at the rear of the machine.
  • ■Plastic Bearings
    Unlike previous Mini 4WD chassis, the AR chassis does not use eyelets for the axle shafts. Instead low-friction plastic bearings provide smooth rotation and also saves weight.
  • ■Rear Skid Bar
    This bar makes contact with the track surface at sloped sections, slowing the machine to prevent it from flying off the track.
  • ■Impressive Design
    Kit comes with six 13mm low-friction rollers and a total of 33 screw attachment positions enables plenty of customization possibilities.

Not a bad buy

Very Light weight, they look great though. Fairly easy to put together. Came with all parts I’ll be it scattered and the screws don’t look sturdy but I won’t be using the ones that it came with. Overall, fair price, quality is fair as well.

They worked for replacing shelves but I wouldn’t mount them on my wall
Size: 24inch, Color: Walnut
I specifically bought these shelves because of their dimensions. I have a built-in cabinet and when we moved in 6 or so years ago, the previous owners must have taken them with them when they moved. It’s been bothering me the whole time I’ve lived here and wanted to make some but just never found the time to get around to it. I measured them out and these floating shelves were perfect for the dimensions I needed to replace the missing shelves. Would I put these on my wall(s)? Absolutely not unless I corrected the mounting issues. One thing that really stuck out to me was how bad the design was for mounting these shelves. When I took them out of the packaging, the brackets were falling out of the back everywhere. This did not inspire too much confidence that if I hung them up, they would be stable. I’ve had a ton of floating shelves similar to this mounting design, but the arms that the boards slide into on the wall for this particular shelving are thin and flat (while being easily mailable with your hand alone) in comparison to every other one I’ve had being round, or at least decently thick, sometimes with additional screws that you can insert under the board and into the mounting arms for extra stability. Also, any time I’ve ever had to mount a similar floating shelf, it took some finesse and strength to release the mounting arms from the back of the shelf because they fit very snugly. The fact that the mounting brackets were falling out of the back means that they are not snug and prone to be very loose. Another thing that stuck out to me is that the shelves are hollow. Now, for my purposes, this is fine, but again, detracts significantly from the confidence that these would be stable if mounted on the wall and would most likely droop when weight was applied. I also took issue with the fact the boards had no protective covering and were jammed into a box, with the hardware pressing against one of the boards tightly. I just flipped the shelf over to mask the defect from packaging but the side I wanted to use because it had better coloring was the damaged side. Mine did not come with any mounting directions but some common sense would be all you needed to put up something so simple. However, it did not come with a template to mark the wall for spacing, which adds to the difficulty because you have to have precise DIY measurements to slide the boards onto the mounting arms correctly. To be honest, if I were to mount these, I would bypass the shoddy mounting provided and go with some heavy, durable brackets underneath. Overall, these shelves worked for my purposes but I can see how the reviews would be very mixed in terms of mounting and quality. I did get these on a limited time deal and they were priced at approximately $8 per shelf, which was a really good deal to get 4 shelves for that price in comparison to the “normal” price resulting in approximately $11/shelf. I wouldn’t have paid full price for these and would have been highly disappointed had I with the intention to mount them, especially since I would have needed to provide better and more stable mounting hardware. They are lesser quality than others within the same price range and I think you could do much better if your intention is to mount them.
