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.

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
