Trivia

  • The Aero Avante was released as part of the 30th anniversary of Tamiya Mini 4WD.
  • The Aero Avante has the R/C buggy counterpart which was based on the Mini 4WD car[1][2]. Much like the original Avante, Avante 2001 and Avante Mk.II R/C buggies, the Aero Avante R/C buggy utilizes the four-wheel-drive DF-02 chassis, which has similar drivetrain layout of the original Avante.
    • Ironically, the DF-02 chassis is the predecessor to the Avante Mk.II's DF-03 chassis and is inferior than the latter. By contrast, the AR Chassis on the Aero Avante Mini 4WD car is superior than the Avante Mk.II's MS Chassis.
  • It is the second car to have the real 1/1 car after Gun-Bluster XTO.
  • It is one of the two Avante Mini 4WD cars (The other being the Avante Jr.) that introduced the new chassis.
  • It replaced the Avante Jr. as the cover car for the 2012 season of Tamiya Japan Cup.
  • The boxart of the Black Special variant resembles the one for the original Avante Jr. Black Special.
