But my Heavy Metal manual is copyright 1991 from Hobbico, meaning Kyosho prototyped it a few years ~before~ that. Sorry guys, its an imposter. The rest is just icing... - The Heavy Metal used the same gearbox as the Blizzard, so why gearbox kludge? - Those rims were made specifically for the Heavy Metal. - That Ford van body & decals look WAY too clean/refined for a prototype. - The drive sprocket looks metal/cast... why make plastic/chrome rims and not make the plastic/chrome sprocket too? (the HM sold with a plastic sprocket) And finally the HM came with stock tracks, and is ~always~ pictured with them ( I have an original manual & box) The manual had an addendum "Optional Performance Tip" page but noted clipping the tracks voided any warranty on them. I strongly doubt its a prototype for the HM, but it ~could~ be one for the more modern EV, as that uses a single motor with braked tracks... $350? (censored)... shoulda bought the NIB one, fools...
