Hi Stefan

A Friend of mine has a MIB Trail 12, it's a 1:10th scale Dune Buggy in white and Green, it has a 3 speed gearbox with a switch at the rear where you can select the ratio you want to use, it has pretty stiff suspension and takes normal alkaline disposable type batteries in a removable holder, that sits in the middle of the chassis tub.

it's made by a company called Spital... something or other???

unfortunatly I do not have a picture of it, and that is all the information I can tell you at this time [?] I hope it was of use to you []

Here is some pics of a boxed version

Spital mostly made engine kits, as far as I know this was the only electric kit released

Age? Hard to say, at a very rough guess I'd say at least late 70's very early 80's, certain aspects of its design owe a lot to early Kyosho stuff

BTW: that small "JEM" logo also appears on most Japanese RC kits, most notably Kyosho Stuff, but I've also seen it on boxes from other brands as well, but for some reason Tamiya cars do not seem to have it? What it's for I'm not too sure but it could be some kind of Japanese Quality control stamp, a bit like the "TI" Kite Mark or the "CE" logo that you see on electrical goods today.
