4. Nastavení a montáž

The Tamiya Avante Mk.3 Azure is an assembly kit. Follow the detailed diagrams and instructions provided in the kit packaging for step-by-step assembly. No glue is required for the main assembly, as parts are designed for snap-fit construction. Some parts feature self-adhesive installation.

4.1 MS Chassis Overview

The MS Chassis provides excellent rigidity and stability. It features a 'Midship (MS) layout' with heavy components like the double-shaft motor and batteries positioned in the center. This design, combined with the traditional 4WD mechanism, ensures stable performance even at high speeds.

The chassis consists of three main sections: the nose, center, and tail. These sections can be attached and removed with a single touch, allowing for quick and varied settings adjustments. The low center of gravity design is achieved by positioning the batteries on both sides of the motor.

2. Install the double shaft motor into the center chassis unit.
3. Attach the wheels and tires securely.
