WTB a tyco!
by brandonwh64 on 2010-01-04 18:55:09 UTC
Hi guys i just posted my intro in the welcome section with all the other ones! Im interested in buying a TYCO RC car! The models i want are Bandit/Hammer/Fast Traxx/Rebound/outlaw/eliminator. they do not need to be mint just in working condition for enjoyment :)
I seen that tyco is still making cars but crappy ones since there with mattel. I have a mattel corvette and its ok to play with but im looking for one of the ABOVE to play outside. The corvette is so low to the ground that it barely can go onto the pavement without bouncing over rocks and junk! Thanks guys for you help and BTW i LOVE all of your collections! i have spent about 3 hours today going through the threads looking at your cars and they are very nice!

$41 still on that Turbo Hopper and Bandit parts.
by djdarkforces on 2010-01-08 11:17:52 UTC
ye still 41 i thought it would be a bit more for that meaning its a heads up

i hope i can find one that it at a reasonable price. Tyco and mattel are making SLOWER more sissyfied R/C products that what they did when i was a kid.

I was wondering about the new Tyco vehicles. I just assumed that they weren't quite as good as the old ones, but I wasn't quite sure how.

there is there website

Yes, but that isn't likely going to compare their new R/C cars to the old ones.
by brandonwh64 on 2010-01-11 11:53:35 UTC
true but i looked at there whole light up and it more either SUPER BIG trucks or batman or action figure type cars which looks to me like it sucks.

ye all there new stuff sux they need to go back to the 9.6v again same u never see 2 speed gear boxes on em niether

Did you see that Heads Up Turbo Hopper went for US $80.99! It did have some Bandit parts with it, but still seems a bit high to me.

i am surprised lately how much these tycos are going for never looked up before till i joined this site ive always kept mine thinking that i wouldnt get that much for em + because ive had some of them for about 18 years so its a bit hard to leave go for having them for so long

not to crowd this wtb ad up but i was the one who paid a bit to much, i was bidding on the tyco harley davidson truck and didnt get back in time to bid again but was also watching the eliminator, i bid 70 before i seen the 25 shipping but wasnt to concerned since i was outbid on it, then a few days later i look and have a ebay email one saying theres been a bid retraction and iam now top bidder and then one saying i won.....sucked but still a cool truck. was really just hunting for a black bandit or the black fast traxx truck.
actually, i did win the black fast traxx truck yesterday that was on ebay after watching the asking price come down from nuts to just expensive, was a toss up between it and the orange truck, but i would part with the eliminator if anyones such as the poster of this ad

nevermind the comment above about selling the eliminator......worth every penny paid!!!! who new such a little truck packed so much power however there is a nicer one for 100 on ebay and was a red one in the box for 150. it didnt sell and looked like new i still have the auction on my watch list and can give the name to you. if you wanna spend that much
