While restoring my Egress' I found these two different front right uprights.
The one to the left looking like an early version, and the one on the right with added strengthening.
I didn't know the Avante had an Mk1 version

Anyone knows of more changes to the Avante?

The right one is maybe an hop up. All uprights I have brocken and changed on my avante was identical to the left one. Or an aftersale accessory??????????????????. I never seen the right version.

All the others I have are identical to the one on the right, they are also like that in the manuals I have checked. I don't think they are hop-ups.

Like the egress is an upgraded avante, Maybe tht these uprights are hop up for avante but stock parts for the egress. That's a mistery!

Found photo proof that the Avante uprights has changed design during production run:

Early version in Tamiya packaging:


Same spare part number, with updated sketch, and with new version upright:

I have to see wich model I have on mine. I remind that they were so fragile!

Actually I always believed THIS version, from a completely different alloy, was the Mk.1, part.... and those other two Mk.2 and Mk.3......

My Avante has the thin version, while my Vanquish and both my Egress' have the thicker versions.

My Avante has the Thin version, but also came with a set of the thick 50348 in the box of parts No flash packaging though

After asking to my dad, he said me that he originaly had the thin version but after brocken several uprights, he changed them for the thicker


These one are from a friend who has an egress and gave me themes. Look the different colors


And the always lost spare used only for the homologation in competition. The bumper extension
