Video – Tamiya Astute 2022 Build Part 1 | CompetitionX

Hey everyone and welcome to Part 1 of the Tamiya Astute 2022 online build.

The Astute 2022 is based on the Super Avante TD4 chassis, using a few small included parts to remove the 4WD system (the Astute 2022 is 2WD). Doing this, it converts the chassis to a TD2 designation, or 2WD.

In this video we go over the tools you’ll need for the entire build as well as the assembly of the rear gearbox, rear suspension and rear shocks.

We’re also debuting (sort of) our new CompetitionX Ball Cup Tool. This tool will help you build turnbuckles on most 1/10 scale rides.

Enjoy the video.
