I loved the nichimo range when it was released - FWD, AWDS, and then a more traditional 4wd/2wd pair. The magazines did mention that the car's damping setup was terrible, and I also recall that there were quite a few user complaints of weak, brittle plastics.... The motor positionning on the Luminous/CosmoShooter was a bit "peculiar" too iirc
Nice car from the heyday of RC when everyone wanted a piece of the cake. Shame Nichimo didn't follow through, I think they were up on to something, and they obviously had the plastic injection capabilities (they're primarily a static display model company) to get it right after a while.
Great find, in what seems to be a great shape!
