If I were Tomy, I would also get bored with 1/10 scale buggies since a close to perfect car has been made...

only missing a lengendary driver like Masami.......

frankly, I do not think rc cars are very good for making $$, tmoy has better $$ making lines. Instead of trying to get Masami or find another Masami, better off close the line and move on to something else, which they did and prosper...

in fact ......I think the M2 pitch drive belt is not good enough.......difficult to set the correct tension...........too loose will slip...........too tight will not smooth ..........

this kind of drive belt had been used in Yokomo 91 works for a short while........but soon was replaced by the currently used belt pitch.......a lot better......

right......R/C is not Tomy's cup of tea........

You are right, that belt pitch was found in Mugen Bulldog, but bulldog is not adjustable, I remember I ran the bulldog for a whole summer in 1985 after my a-level, I was amazed that the drive belts and differentials were nice and clean and close to 100% new when I open the Mugen bulldog chassis after that long summer holiday, which was more than 3 months.    In that summer, I ran that mugen almost every day!!

I think the original Tomy Intruder comes with a "satellite gear".........while the Tomy EX comes with a fixed spur gear with centre one-way...........

you are right, ex has a fixed spur gear and one way.

The 'satellite gear' was actually a center differential with straight gears.

& what is the function ??........

Well, mid differential lor.   

Just like 1/8 buggies, have a mid-differential, differential between front and rear axles. Seems that it is not really that useful and as a result we do not see them in 1/10 now

take out all the sticker, clean up the shell, and with new set of tires!

This care is getting very nice.
