Originally released the color of the resin parts were blue and red, later a black version became available. Double wishbone type front suspension of the \"X-2\" after, of course, was also inherited the \"COBRA 3PS\" and \"APACHE J-2D\". In order to build complex rear suspension in a narrow space, the drive system has become a secondary reduction scheme. This is also driving loss is large, it was the biggest weakness of this car. From RC magazine June 82 issue, figure that seems to initial prototype. Rear suspension is the trailing arm system at this stage. Design and fabrication, seems to be due to Masaaki who is the world champion Hirosaka Masami\'s father.The car had electronics in it at one point but the chassis shows absolutely no sign of wear. The stock factory motor is present in the car, as seen in the photos. The tires are by no means dry rotted and are easily runnable.The only modified part of the car is the pinion and spur gears to 64p giving it a different FDR.
