Tamiya TD4 Super Avante Bodywork: Build Part 4 + Tips!

Hello and welcome to this video where I finish building the new TD4 Super Avante 4WD Buggy RC kit from Tamiya. This time I'm not doing the chassis, it's time for the bodywork! As you may have seen from the thumbnail, I'm not going with the box-art. Although I like most Tamiya box-art, this time I wanted to try to give the Avante a figure-hugging look to try to make her look a little less bulbous! I think I managed it, please let me know what you think in the comments! This video contains a few tips along the way for cutting, preparing, masking and painting a polycarbonate body.
This kit was a gift from the awesome RC Elf - massive thanks go out to him! I hope you enjoy the build, take care and happy RCing!

About the Super Avante:
The TD4 is a shaft-driven 4WD buggy chassis which employs front inboard suspension for slim, low-profile form. It features a longitudinal battery pack position in the center and a midship transverse motor for optimum balance and improved performance. The drivetrain uses full bearings, and sealed front/rear gearboxes have built-in ball differentials. Two link rods and crank arm transmit movement of the left-side servo to the three-piece steering arm setup. 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension utilizes CVA oil dampers. Turnbuckle shaft upper arms facilitate camber angle adjustment. Two types (high/low) of wing stays are included and star dish wheels are paired with square spike tires which offer superlative grip off-road.
