These are the RC cars that I built back in the late 1980's, and still have.
Kyosho MINT Las Vegas:
A two wheel drive gas 1:8 scale car. Back in the day this was a very well built gas
car. It came with a .21 engine and ran well. There was a 4 wheel drive option as well, but I wasn't interested.
Kyosho Optima/Javelin:
A 4 wheel drive electric 1:10 scale car. The optima and javelin are really the same car,
but a different top. I originally bought the Optima, but then bought the javelin roll cage top
for it. I never liked the 4 wheel drive for this car and pulled out the chain to make it 2
wheel drive. I thought it ran much better.
The Optima/Javelin without it's top.
