Revive RC Avante Body For Tamiya Super Avante

- In this video I cut, trim and paint the custom body for the Tamiya Super Avante by Revive RC. I also add some custom decals I printed using a Vinyl Cutter. I think the Revive RC body looks awesome on the TD4 chassis and does a great job of capturing the looks of the original Avante.

Hey! Because we’ve been messaging recently on Instagram I forgot to comment here!
Awesome job Mick, can’t go wrong with PS-16 😍. The wing doesn’t have cut lines so far around so you can choose your own 👍🏻.
Great idea having your own decal machine to get creative!
G'day Owen! Haha, that all good mate.
Oh yeah, had to go PS-16 for that original Avante feel.
AHA! and here I was thinking my eyes were failing more than usual 😂. Good info mate!
I'm still learning with the Vinyl cutter but I really think it will be useful for both decals and masking.
Cheers mate! 🙂👍
She looks fantastic with that body. And those silver Cam-Loc wheels are spot-on!
Thanks Fil! 🙂👍
Get her dirty!!! Get her dirty!! Can’t wait for the running video!!! Looks way better than what it originally looked like! Awesome Mick!
Haha, it will get it's chance to grubby! Oh mate, I was quite proud of my first body 😭😂 I get what you mean though, this body is a step up from the original. Cheers mate! 🙂👍
WOW it came out sweet looking that's what I think! 👍👍
Thanks Steve! I can almost hear you saying "BEAUTY!!!" 😂👍
BEEEAAAAUUUUTTTTYYYYY!@@RCHobbyShed
@@ShenRC There it is! 😁👍
UNREAL CHEERS from this Aussie in China
Thanks mate! Glad you like it. Cheers mate. 🙂👍
Being mental does indeed rock.
Sure does mate! 🤪👍
Nice work Mick. Metallic Blue always looks good
Thanks Ian. I agree mate, can't go wrong with metallic blue! 🙂👍
G'day, Mick! Oh wow, that came out a treat mate! You really got the blue to pop with that silver backing. Love the way you went "minimal" with the stickers. When I saw this body originally with just the paint on, I thought "man too many stickers would spoil this one!" And then look what you did! Just perfect, mate! Cheers!
G'day Mark! Thanks mate. Oh yeah, this body looks great without stickers so I knew going in that I had to keep them to a minimum. That's said, once you put a sticker here, you need a sticker there and so on. It's a fine balance! Glad you like it mate. Cheers! 🙂👍
Love your twist on the wing Mick that's brilliant! This looks stunning mate it really is a Super Avante!
Thanks mate. I wanted it to say something similar to the original but kind of look like the TD4 printing, so after going "Mental" try to think of something that's what I came up with 😂. Thank you mate, glad you like it. 🙂👍
Simple, but looks great! Love the metallic blue.
Thanks mate! I starting thinking of some elaborate paint schemes but ending up thinking it's been far too long just get it done! Seemed to work in the end. 😂👍
Worked out beautifully Mick 👌
Thanks Jon! I think so too. I was really unsure as I went in with no real plan but I think it turned out nice in the end. 🙂👍
Love the way this one looks. Great job.
Thanks Keith! 👍
Amazing result! Well don sir! 😀👍
Looks awesome Mick 👌 great job 👍
Thanks Mark! 🙂👍
Looks a lot better than the box art and the body looks sleeker 👌 love the custom stickers, something i wish i could do 😁
Thanks mate. Yeah, Owen (Revive RC) did an awesome job with the body. Cheers mate. 🙂👍
Top shelf Mick, looks awesome
Thanks Darren! 🙂👍
Turned out sweet man!!!
Thanks mate! 🙂👍
Micks done it again what a stunning buggy and happy new year and have a good weekend 👌
Thanks mate! Happy New Year to you too and have a great weekend. 🙂👍
Body gives me Bonneville salt flats vibes. Looks like it’s going 300+ mph standing still. Maybe even a hint of Astute with the fenders. Nice and looow. Great job mate 👍
I agree mate, I'm seeing the salt flat car resemblance. Thanks mate! 🙂👍
Looks awesome Mick
Thanks Rob! 🙂👍
Very nice Mick 👌
Thanks Damien! 🙂👍
oh yes looks so much better than Tamiya's
Thanks mate! 🙂👍
Nice Mick 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Shayen! 🙂👍
Looks great mick
Thanks mate. 🙂👍
Hi Mick, the metallic blue looks smart for sure 😊😊best wishes 😊
Hey John! Thanks mate, I agree. I think it turned out quite nice. Big thumbs up to Owen at Revive RC for the body of course. Have a great weekend mate. 🙂👍
another great build 🤘🏽
Thanks mate! 🙂👍
GREAT!
Thanks mate! 🙂👍
It looks great Mick! I really like the Revive RC body on these as it looks so much better than the stock one. I am not a fan of the stock looks at all! You cannot go wrong the metallic blue paint, it looks good on everything. I also like the custom saying on the wing too, nice revamp of the original! Great job as always on it!
G'day Addam. Thanks mate, I think Revive RC did an awesome job on the body. Yeah the stock body is kinda hard to digest 😂. Cheers mate! 🙂👍
It's looking good! You did an amazing job on the body! I think I'm going to take my Super Avante out for a run this weekend. It's very fun with gear diffs in it.
Thanks mate! I was kinda worried how it would turn out seeing as I had no grand plan going in, seemed to work out well in the end. Have fun running your beast and have a great weekend! 🙂👍
I want to see more about making decals and that cutter
Someone did ask me about doing a video on it. I figure it's probably best to search TH-cam as there's a lot of videos already out there on Vinyl Cutters. I think for me to do a video just on that subject it would be too far away from RC for my channel, if you get what I mean. Plus I'm still learning it myself, so I probably wouldn't be able to give the best information on it. Best to search for tutorial videos on TH-cam for cutters such as this one which is the Silhouette Cameo 4. Cricut is another popular brand of cutter and similar in price. Hope this helps! 🙂👍
That body would have been a great candidate for a Williams F14/15 F1 livery, the yellow, white and blue car that Nigel Mansel drove, Mick. Though would have taken a bit more paint and masking up. Turned out great though.
It would have been too. I'm not really one for F1 liveries but in this case I think it would have worked out nicely. It certainly would have helped since I couldn't think of what to do! 😂. Thanks mate! 🙂👍
Awesome work Mick! This creation is the best of both worlds, Avante nostalgia + modern engineering. My dream car!
Thanks Terence! I agree mate. I have to thank Owen at Revive RC for the nostalgia vibes. Cheers mate! 🙂👍
😁 Looks great!
Thanks mate! 🙂👍
Whoo happy new year Mick hope you have a wonderfull 2024 :) Avante's looking awesome great work dude.. hope the job fronts working out for you buddy. Pete
Thanks Pete, Happy New Year mate! Same to you, I hope 2024 is awesome. Thanks mate, glad you like it. I think it turned out quite nice. Still looking and applying, hopefully I get something soon. 🙂👍
Work of art Mick. Amazing work and beautiful car. Never gets old watching these videos.
Thanks Peter! It took me forever to get this video out, I'm glad you like it mate. Have a great weekend! 🙂👍
@RCHobbyShed You won't believe it but the boss at Iplex asked me to go back . 18 years . Plastics again, don't even know him but he knows me. Couldn't say no to the money. I'm just about to set up the new welder for aluminium tig. Seems the same as fusion welding with an oxy in the old days. Give me a call if you need anything welded mate . Have a great weekend to Mick.
@@petergoodwin2465 That's great, best of luck at the new (old) job mate. That's good to hear!
Oh nice! I'll keep you in mind when I need some Aluminium welded.
Cheers mate, have a great weekend and good luck at the job! 👍
Great episode dude, quality tips nice one, it looks wicked, great way to start the new year, Mental! hehehe Absolutely brilliant that blue looks sweet
Thanks mate, I'm glad you found it helpful. I think it looks great too, thanks mate. I was meant to do this one last year but never got to it so I figured it would be good to have it first up this year. Haha, glad you like it mate. Now I'm thinking I could have had "siiiiiick" somewhere in the decal. 😂👍
@@RCHobbyShed hahahahaha that would have been quality!!! 😂 need to get it out on that ramp mate 🤩
@@sustorres765 I'll have to get it out at some stage. Still just looking at it for now. Once that's over it'll be time to SEND IT! 😁👍
@@RCHobbyShed siiiiick!! 😂
@@sustorres765 😁👍
Looking good😅
Thanks mate! 🙂👍
Perhaps a broad black pin stripe along the bottom edge of the body as a finisher, would do something to visually disperse some of that excess real estate you made mention of along the bottom half of the body 🤔
Congratulations on your 1st video for 2024 mate🎉👍. That turned out looking sensational!👌, I like that wing design better than the original, nice work Owen revive rc👍.
I like your trick of using tape as a guide for cutting mate👍.
Thanks for showing your vinyl cutter Mick!, that'd be handy to have. Yeh the black vents look spot on, I reckon better black than silver👌. I like your Being Mental Rocks mate I can relate to that😋😂. Thanks for sharing your sexy body and how you did it Mick, it looks great🏅. 🙋♀️🤠🦘🇦🇺
Thanks mate, happy new year! If I haven't already said it 😂. I think the wing looks great too! Owen has done an awesome job on the body and wing, it's top notch.
I do that tape trick pretty often, especially on wings. I just find it easier to cut with my old eyes.
No probs mate, I'm still a learner with the cutter but will use it more and more in the future. Oh yeah, ya gotta have black vents. The black paint itself is just much easier to use, the silver is a real pain in the sphincter!
Haha yeah, me and you both mate. Mental is a way of life! 🤣
Glad you enjoyed the video mate. Have a great weekend! 🙂👍
@@RCHobbyShed
Thanks for the tape trick, I've already chopped something wrong so hopefully that'll save any more mischops👍.
Hey what was the brand of the paint pen Mick?, I'll try to get one.
Happy Mental Rock day mate👍😋😁
@@outbackrcaustralia4895 No probs mate!
The pens are POSCA by UNI. They work well on Polycarbonate but you can still scratch it off so be careful with the finished product. Of course, try it on a plastic Coke bottle or something first and play around with it.
Haha, will do mate! 😂👍
@@RCHobbyShed
Hey hey I managed to fix it 😀👍. Thanks for the pen info Mick, going out tomorrow so I'll see if they have one👌
@@outbackrcaustralia4895 Haha cool. I just edited my reply so I don't look Mental. 🤣
Good stuff mate. If you go to Officeworks you can try them out at the display. They make it hard to buy them though because they're all used!🙄 Talk about Mental! 🤣
Sir, I have been asking around the RC community for something, I believe you made. It was a 3D printed holder that fits the smaller style on/off switches that come on so many of the other style ESC's om the market. It would allow you to press fit the small switch into the mounting device and then mount it in the ON/OFF switch location in the RC car body. Tamiya has a mounting location that requires you to have the larger style Futaba on/off switch and I am getting tired of buying so many on/off switches only to cut them up and then have a small switch toasted in the trash. Was it you who made this switch mount in 3D print? If it was not you, I guess you can take the idea and there is a market for you to go after.
G'day! No, sorry mate it's not me. I have seen those recently but can't remember who made them. I usually just buy the normal size switches in bulk off eBay and replace those small switches with them. 🙂👍
Looks great especially compared to the ugly duckling body included with the kit!
Thanks mate. Yeah the kit body is an odd one! 🙂👍
