by Viper GTS on 2011-01-02 21:25:46 UTC
ive seen them all and they made them in turquiose green, red, yellow, gray and black. I missed a few of the auctions or i would have bought one or 2 new in the box
by performerrpm on 2011-01-02 21:26:30 UTC
the one i seen was a gray one

heres the one i seen, but im not sure if its twin or not
by Viper GTS on 2011-01-02 21:41:48 UTC
some of them were different but for most like the, lamborghini and the 348 the way to tell if its a twin turbo is to look for the side bumpers in front of the rear wheels, a wider wheel base and a short front bumper. That one appears to be a twin turbo all tho it doesnt have the side bumper, i dont think any of the f40s did or the porsche
I wish I didnt see that sell for just $41.00, thats a total steal
by czstycor/c on 2011-01-02 21:46:30 UTC
actually while that was listed a new in box yellow one sold for 300.
by Viper GTS on 2011-01-02 23:01:42 UTC
Also there was a 9.6v twin turbo porsche 962 lemans car
by czstycor/c on 2011-01-02 23:45:07 UTC
cool, i have a porshe coming, but i don't think it is a twin.
by czstycor/c on 2011-01-02 23:48:23 UTC
no the porshe i'm getting is a 959
by Viper GTS on 2011-01-03 01:46:42 UTC

Hello all, this is my first post, Im thrilled to find a forum on Tyco RCs. One thing I wanted to bring up for this list is that Tyco made a "Jackknife" and "Jacknife". The Jackknife (2 Ks) is a semi truck with a trailer. The Jacknife is a car that has a transforming wing.
by nixzero on 2012-04-15 03:07:32 UTC
I've been putting together info on Tyco RCs to help me keep track of things, and since finding this site I've added the info from this list and the dealer catalogs. It's in an excel file, and I wasn't sure of the best way to share it on here, so I uploaded it to a wordpress site. Please hit me up if you can find any errors or have something to add. It's a work in progress, but I'm at the point where outside help would be really handy, lol. ;D
Here's the link. Sorry for the ugly layout, I wasn't worried about aesthetics...

is this one on that list? i cant seem to find out any info. about it
by dragon on 2014-02-19 01:05:13 UTC
That looks very similar to a gold one that I found in a catalog from 1989. 9.6V Turbo Indys; Stock No. 2616-27; Scale 1/18. There's not much info about them in the catalog, but here's what the page lists in the bullet points:
3 position Speed Control Trigger Pull for Forward and 9.6V Turbo, Push for Reverse.
Knurled Non-Slip Steering Wheel with Self-Centering Action
Detachable 5 Section Telescoping Antenna
Recessed Power On-Off Switch
9.6V Turbo Power Boost Indicator LED
LED Power-On Indicator, and Battery Life Indicator.

Hey, I found that exact model in the Spring 1988 catalog, page 28. Indy Turbos - The Ultimate Racing Machines... with real Turbo Power.
"Real championship Indy Racers pack Turbo charged engines for blasts of power you control. Down to every detail, Michael Andretti's Kraco car, Al Unser, Jr's Domino's Pizza car, Rick Mear's Pennzoil and Danny Sullivan's Miller American car are authentic replicas of today's Indy winners. And they're Turbo powered!"
Under the #4 Miller car it says Stock No. 2416-27 (looks like the Pennzoil car was planned as the opponent as it is #2416-49).
Cube: 3.0
Weight: 13lbs
Package Size: 7" x 5 1/2" x 16 1/8"
