RADICON SPACE PATHFINDER - MASUDAYA - JAPAN

Blue and white lithographed tin battery operated vehicle with tracks. Large clear plastic cockpit at the front. Red flashing light on top. This is the same pressing as the Lunar Expedition but it has the piezo control system. Pressing the remote generates a high voltage spark that enables the vehicle to cycle through a series of actions: forward, stop, left, right. The control requires no batteries.
