The Jealousy was Hirobos last hurrah before leaving buggies and concentrating on their helicopters. All aluminium suspension, alloy ball diffs and a great looker. Hirobo went all out with the design, and it contained all the latest technology for the time. With the limited production and large number of machined parts it cost twice as much as the opposition at the time, the Turbo optima and Avante.

You won't have known about it as there was only 300 kits made, and only 68 of them ended up outside Asia. Most at the time bought to race, so the number of Jealousys that haven't been run is even smaller. That's what helps make it even more special.
