The Astute was again an attempt from Tamiya to make it on the Racing scene, this time in 2WD. The Astute was, as the Avante, designed using FRP, but Tamiya also included the complexity and adjustability known from the Avante, and then aslo making the Astute fragile. There is fully adjustable independant front and rear suspension, using the yellow CVA coil-over shocks.
