It's a monster truck Avante - but it has many Egress parts. Suspension arms, diffs etc.

Lots of nice components on that truck, and then crappy shocks. Wtf?

This thing is so ugly, i don´t understand why they release something that looks just like nothing- big nono Tamiya

Straaaaange!

I guess the re-re Avante hasn't been selling too well and they have lots of plastic parts to get rid of!

It's been out a while but I don't expect they have sold many - check out the price of it.

Knowing Tamiyas rereleases it's anyone's guess if they will bring out the Egress. After releasing the Hotshot in 2007 they have just got around to rereleasing the Supershot, while usually a second rerelease on any chassis followed within 6 months and that was it. You can hang on to see if the Egress is released, the parts are used for the Vajra but there's no guarantee it will appear. Strangely enough there aren't that many parts shared between the Avante rerelease and the Vajra, the longer chassis, diffs, centre one way, steering setup and suspension arms are all Egress parts and not Avante.

If someone is desperate to get an Egress to run, the cheap way is to find an original, the vintage cars are only expensive compared to the rereleases if you really want it still in the box.
Alternatively wait until the Vajra is being sold off cheap to shift the unsold stock as no shop is going to sell out of them, change the shocks, wheels and body and you're done.

Can an Egress expert tell us if the chassis is the same as the Egress? What other parts are pure Egress?

Anyone seen parts for sale?
