Towards the
end of 2003, Funline introduced an RC line of their 1:64 cars - with
surprising detail for an RC car. The RC aspects of the car are
similar to the Zip Zaps concept - using a 9V battery to charge
capacitors in the car that will keep it running for about 2-3 minutes
based on a 45 second charge. The battery box is used to charge the car.
The same battery box is then inserted into the controller to power the
controller. This series of Acura RSX's were available in various
frequency combinations. The color of the controller and the color
of the car antennas helping to differentiate the frequencies (either 27
or 45 Mhz).
The cars came in black, red, grey, orange and green.
Here's the green one:
