I agree with you jelly...it's a blatant Yokomo copy except for minor details....Wonder if this is design by Tamiya..as we all know that Tamiya's top racers like the 414 and 415 were not designed by them..the 414 is a Team Atlas design and the 415 is a Tech Racing design....as for 4wd buggies..Tamiya never really made any impact...back in the 1980's and early 1990's they had the Avante and Egress..both were over engineered cars that could never really compete with Yokomo, Kyosho, Schumacher....the best 4wd they had was the Top Force...it performed better than the Avante and the Egress...
