My buddy had one way back when. If I remember right it was chain-driven.

I too have one, minus some parts that have gotten lost over years. Used to love the noise of the chain drive

I just recently learned about the Javelin, and many other vintage Kyosho and Tamiya models. Someone somewhere posted this link. http://www93.sakura.ne.jp/~time-tunnel/index.html Lots of cool and just plain weird suspension and drivetrain designs there. |
