I just checked the Tower Hobbies catalog and they show these cars with the Kelron chassis. I don't see the aluminum chassis listed even as a hop-up.

Richie, I think it was Euro and Asia market that got the aluminum. US got the Kelron. Kelron probably has something that causes cancer in it or something like that.... ....

Rich: did they sell the Saurus in the US?

I don't think so. I think it came out in 1989 or 1990. It doesn't show up in my 1989 tower catalog. I'm missing the 1990 one so I'm unable to check. I've never seen one here in the states but that doesn't mean it didn't get here somehow.

and the comment says only the esc was added to make it run.

And another scale driver that looks scared shitless.

Hmmm, the driving characteristics don't look too great. Unless they can't steer.
