That Mad Rat seems to have the same color scheme as the Tyco Bandit had for a while.

What's your favorite vehicle in your collection?

the tyco harley davidson is fast most prob my favourite but they all got certain things i like about them the madrat and the spacey fast traxx was my bros but he gave them to me about 2 weeks ago its the ricochet and dagger was my least favourite i most probs sell the ricochet soon but the dagger is pretty good since it had the chop the madrat is good can do good wheelys got a realy good ground clearance rely good steering but isnt the fastest  not as fast as the 9.6 tyco but faster than the 6v tyco but with loads of torque and the colours are alot like the bandit aint they

ive always wanted a blaster and bandit but im not to sure but my tyco harley davidson pick up truck might be 1 just got 1 or 2 altered bits on it coz it just screams when it goes and does shift a bit to

Looks cool. Thanks for posting the photos.


by Atomika on 2009-12-29 01:21:24 UTC

Thanx for the pix. Now that I can see it better, it looks kinda like its the same model as the WILD RANGER that radio shack put out back in the day.

these are my new 2 taiyos ive just got these 1s the /aero grabber/ would only go left and right had the multi meter on it cant see what the problem is the motor works coz ive wired a battery to it so its been all striped ill stick hobby upgrades in it should be good to see what it goes like its 4wd too and the /rockie a/ is mean could possibly be faster than my harley pick up and hi jacker


by performerrpm on 2010-01-31 17:03:30 UTC

the harley truck you have, i bid on one on ebay a few weeks ago, is it as fast as the bandit/eliminator? look like same bottom half as eliminator with different body


by djdarkforces on 2010-01-31 17:53:10 UTC

every where i look up and every 1 tells me there the same but ive never seen a actual bandit to compare it to but the harley is fast for a toy rc 1 of the fastest toy rc i got but it is a bit faster than the /rockie a/ but the rockie a is better off road got a better ground clearence bigger wheels and is better at wheelies


by tommy tek on 2010-01-31 17:55:01 UTC

I had acouple of grabbers.I had one that had a fried mother board so i took a turbo hopper mother board and servos and i modified it to fit inside the grabber.It worked perfectly and was really cool.I modded it to retain the AWD setup and everything.


by Tamm on 2010-01-31 19:26:57 UTC

check the mainboard of your grapper because i fixed a few that had  open circuit drive transistors that control the forward and reverse use your meter
to check them and look for dry joints are your motor wires hidden under any glue or silicon sealer


by djdarkforces on 2010-02-01 20:26:54 UTC

im not bothered didnt pay for it and been after a 16/scale hobby car for a while so ill just do this up instead


by djdarkforces on 2010-02-01 20:29:40 UTC
