Up for sale is an incredibly rare, original 1980s first-generation production Kyosho OT-2 Drive Chain. This is an authentic, period-correct factory replacement component manufactured in Japan. It features the iconic original vintage Kyosho packaging and classic ¥600 price stamp on the reverse, making it a perfect piece for an pristine "shelf queen" build or a time-capsule restoration. Unlike the modern re-release parts (part #OT226), this is a genuine 1985-era original release.
