The Tamiya Avante is a historically significant 1/10 scale four-wheel-drive electric offroad competition buggy released in 1988 as Tamiya's 72nd radio control kit under catalog number 58072. The car was designed by Tamiya's veteran designer, Fumito Taki, famous for introducing Tamiya into the radio-controlled car markets and for its better-known cars, including the Sand Scorcher.^[1][2]

Unveiled at the Nuremberg International Toy Fair that year,^[3] the Avante began as a need for a competition car after their past models became obsolete.
