Not sure about he year but if you check in the dealer catalog thread you might find so more info


by swing45 on 2011-12-21 19:40:29 UTC

Thanks for the heads up but where do I find a dealers catalog


by olds45512 on 2011-12-21 19:42:59 UTC

Thread is at the top of the tyco rc section, it will say dealer catalogs from 80s and 90s


by swing45 on 2011-12-21 19:43:47 UTC

Ok great thanks newbie on this site


by olds45512 on 2011-12-21 19:46:44 UTC

Yep no problem, I believe what your looking for will be on the first page


by swing45 on 2011-12-21 19:49:58 UTC

Hi can't find the RC thread ur are taking about


by olds45512 on 2011-12-21 19:54:16 UTC

From this page click the forum tab at the top of the screen, then click on the forum labeled tyco rc. The thread you looking for will be the second from the top labeled dealer catalogs from the 80s and 90s.

Thanks poptart, I would have done that but can't do cut and paste on my droid. Lol


by swing45 on 2011-12-21 20:32:22 UTC

Ok I check it out I believe my car is pre 1992 or many in the 1980's I don't see it there. Thanks guys I will keep trying on the internet and maybe i will find it


by poptart on 2011-12-21 20:34:25 UTC

one came out it 88 and then the other in 90 i believe,, one version had the two scoops on top like the one you pictured the other had a spare on top don't remember which went to what year,,later on tyco made the super 4wd again like around 94 95 or so,,the same but in neon colors


by poptart on 2011-12-21 20:36:50 UTC

it was 1988


by swing45 on 2011-12-21 20:39:54 UTC

WOW ur good thanks . I don't have the remote control gun do u know where I can find one at a decent price


by poptart on 2011-12-21 20:50:05 UTC

your best bet is post a wtb thread here or ebay man,,two 49MHz turbo controllers just sold the other day at $22 bucks apiece


by poptart on 2011-12-21 20:50:51 UTC

here is the match to yours on ebay now

by swing45 on 2011-12-21 20:52:58 UTC

Ok Thanks now would u know what  my car go for if but on Ebay without a speed control tigger


by poptart on 2011-12-21 21:05:04 UTC

really just all depends on who's looking at the moment,the condition of the vehicle and the pics that are posted,,,, could be around $20 could be $50 someone could see it and have to have it and pay $100 you never know


by swing45 on 2011-12-21 21:08:10 UTC

Great I really apprecaite all ur help thanks and Merry Xmas


by poptart on 2011-12-21 21:10:38 UTC

no problem at all and same to you


by djdarkforces on 2011-12-22 13:02:54 UTC

these are very good cars this is the taiyo version same as yours
your is the earlier model 86/87 same as the rest the 88 models came with the trigger controller


by swing45 on 2011-12-22 13:22:01 UTC

Thanks for the info, so what kind of controller would i need for my car


by djdarkforces on 2011-12-22 13:26:46 UTC

thats a little tricky be  care full when you buying a controller have you looked on the car and controller


by swing45 on 2011-12-22 13:39:24 UTC

Hi I'm not sure what u mean look at the car where. There is a sticker on the underside of the car that says this car operates on  49 MHz and the battery compartment hold 8 AA Nickel Cadmium batteries. The car  is appox: 12 inches long & 8 inches wide & high at it's highest point at the back it is 5.5 inches


by djdarkforces on 2011-12-22 13:46:37 UTC

ye but it could be 49.115mhz or it could be 49.445mhz and so on

try sending this guy a msg he got the same as yours ask him what frequency it runs on but it still wont be a garantee that it be the same due to the controller being the old taiyo style controller so get searching google hard
