The Tamiya Avante Black Special (47390) is a collector-grade Limited Edition release of the Avante 2011, itself originally released to commemorate Tamiya's 35th anniversary. This Black Special variant is one of the most desirable re-releases in Tamiya's catalogue, with a distinctive black livery and special-edition packaging that drives collector interest worldwide.

The Avante platform is a piece of Tamiya history — a flagship 4WD off-road buggy that defined the late 1980s competition scene. This Black Special builds on that lineage with premium build quality and limited-run exclusivity.

Why collectors chase the Avante Black Special

• 1/10 scale 4WD off-road buggy assembly kit
• Limited-Edition Black Special livery and packaging
• Flagship Avante platform — collector grade
• Premium build quality throughout
• Short-run production — we won't be able to restock indefinitely

What you'll need to drive it (or display it)

A 2-channel radio and servo, ESC, battery and compatible charger if you intend to drive it. Many builders treat the Avante Black Special as a display-grade build with occasional gentle running. Either way, we can spec the gear and advise on long-term storage and display.
