It is the original version of Concept 60 and now i own all version of this hely. In the pics there is also a Concept 60 SR (the second version) and you can see the main difference that it is the head. Infact the SR comes with a Kalt/TSK type head in metal. The head of original version has a plastic head and it is very similar to concept 30 with difference size of course. Other difference is the tail trasmission.
 

Tokyo Marui Junior series cars

Not only Tamiya produces Mini4wd cars. In the 90' also Tokyo Marui factory produced a their mini4wd line, called "Junior Series".

They are mini4wd cars in 1:32 scale that reproduce rc buggy in 1:10 scale of that time. So full Kyosho and Tokyo Marui buggy has been reproduced like Rocky, optima, turbo optima mid, samurai, and many more.

I own the Kyosho Rocky and Shadow 4WD. This last models come with special tuned engine for high speed. The particulary of Marui mini4wd is that you can choice the speed of car and change the trasmission from 2wd to 4wd by switch
