Look there's no point getting into an argument about what was the original 2-belt tourer.
The HPI, and all the other two-belt tourers with a rear motor, and high layshaft, are copying the transmission design of the Kyosho Lazer ZX buggy.
That came out in about 1989.
Were we talking about the origin of the 2 belt touring?????? I must have missed something!!!
but I agree with johnbull..... all those who think HPI popularist the 2 belt touring had better re-think! The Japanese touring RC was popular in Asia waaaay before it crossed the waters!!
