I'm also betting that every time a company releases a car that looks like an Xray, you're also the first people to post, "It looks like everything else out there already!"



I love the outside-the-box thinking, as usual, by Tamiya. I don't care what anyone thinks it weighs by looking at the photo, I'm interested in getting one, for sure. I love my JRXS Type Rs and this pushes those ideas to the next level. I can't wait to see more of it.
