I feel like this is the Japanese rendition of the Micro-T. Great looks, great price, sure to be a hit.

it seems that the front suspension is a mere "plastic-flex"... the plastic made arm will flex... hehehe

the throttle is behave like proportional controller (can slow down, can go fast using the trigger).

how I wish they did the same to the steering.

I've also seen this on Japan. They cost between $35 adn $42 dollars over there. I wish Kyosho would release a "Mini-Z Inferno" that would be great!

hmm... so you mean the throttle has ''steps'' that approximate proportional throttle... and the steering isn't proportional? (i.e. full left center and full right only?)

i haven't opened up the the controller but the throttle seems to be like a potentiometer (just like hobby grade ones) but the steering still behaves like a push-botton switch (just like the takara DPL steering).
