Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go! series[]

In the manga, the Lightning-Magnum was developed as a successor to the Beat-Magnum. The car can now run ever faster thanks to its compact body and chassis, and the new and improved dragon suspensions on the new Magnum stabilizes the car during cornering. It was first used in the second world grand prix in the manga.

The car was later fitted with the MS Chassis during the test trial, but its body was unable to handles the performance of the new chassis. Something unexpected happened however, as Go accidentally fall into the bottom of valley in an argument​ with his brother Retsu. Although Go was unharmed in said accident, the same cannot be said to his Lightning-Magnum; its bodyshell was severely damaged.

Go was later found by a native American family and is staying in their village, all while trying to fixing the bodyshell of his car, but to no avail. It was until the father of a native American family takes Go to the spirit land, where the ghosts of the decreased animals rested. The bodyshell was finally repaired after a night at the spirit land after Go got the idea from the head of a bison's skeleton. Go eventually returns to the race scene in the America opening of the world grand prix with his new car, the BisonMagnum.
