The Tamiya Avante Black Special (84270) was announced in late 2011 with kits available in early 2012. Because it has a part number that starts with 84xxx, it is a limited edition release. The kit is based on the Avante 2011 chassis and comes with special fluorescent pink wheels, stepped-spike tires (which are the same as the vintage Egress), a Black Special decal set for the body, and a Tamiya GT Tuned motor with a Black Special label. The first production run also includes an alternative set of bonus black wheels in the same design as the pink wheels. It is blister packed just like the Avante 2011 but has a very different box art design from the traditional style normally used on Tamiya RC kits. The Avante Black Special also comes with two hop-ups that do not come with the Avante 2011 kit: The carbon fiber steering set (84256) and the torque splitter set (84257).
