i see you have the ever so elusive to me black fast traxx truck!!! i missed one on ebay the other day for 75 bucks.


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-06 18:06:51 UTC

more pictures


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-06 18:10:20 UTC

no lie it was a rip off though, the low gear sounds kinda stipped or slipping, as does the fast  traxx, got them from the same guy, he wasn't very accurate at discribing them, i kinda regret getting the red/orangish fast traxx, csuse there are so many better ones on ebay now than this, both have good high gears though.


by performerrpm on 2010-08-06 18:12:48 UTC

wana get rid of it, swap ya a nice eliminator or even buy it from you if you decide to sell,


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-06 18:41:22 UTC

Can't sell it I got I for my brothers birthday present, only way it might be available is if I find and outlaw( the truck) for him the black truck traxx was his second choice. Plus I kinda like it, but I need to find more traxx for the regular fast traxx, my bro is eating through his one already. I actually have extras I order back along time ago for my super fast traxx.


by performerrpm on 2010-08-06 23:11:32 UTC

heres my favorite of the bunch, actually is my first bandit


by performerrpm on 2010-08-06 23:21:54 UTC

heres some of what i had a few months back, actually i stil have the black bandit on the left and the baja on the right. the one on the left is my beater of the bunch. that black one in the middle was project bandit and i actually got the body with the baja bandit. the eliminators pictured are gone now too. the yellow sticker one was almost in new condition, luckily i replaced it with a pink stickered one just as nice


by performerrpm on 2010-08-06 23:22:32 UTC

sorry picture didnt attach


by performerrpm on 2010-08-06 23:37:32 UTC

last picture i have at the minute is my newest bandit, this paticular bandit since it is red has been about hardest of all for me to get, i guess because everyone wanted black ones theres just not as many red ones around, although i see theres a pretty nice one on ebay now. ive also managed to get the foam for my baja bandit to stay in but no box yet, and i have another black bandit in its box that is pretty close to mint but not 100% then i have 2 other bandits besides the ones shown here that are good 8s outta 10s in the looks department and all but the bandit from the first picture still have their chrome bumpers in tact which is a feat all in itself apparently


by performerrpm on 2010-08-06 23:39:56 UTC

back in its box


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-07 00:31:04 UTC

now i would buy one of those from you!, and buy any chance do you have an extra chrome bumper from the front of a bandit. i want to put it on the front of the black fast traxx truck, to protect it since my brother is rough with it.


by pendemic on 2010-08-07 00:32:34 UTC


i see you have the ever so elusive to me black fast traxx truck!!! i missed one on ebay the other day for 75 bucks.


i know i seen that one too and was pissed i didnt buy it!


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-07 00:39:01 UTC

again it was kinda a rip off. stripped low gear.


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-07 00:54:53 UTC

newest addition harely davidson truck


by pendemic on 2010-08-07 00:57:42 UTC

by czstycor/c on 2010-08-07 01:05:15 UTC

by pendemic on 2010-08-07 01:31:31 UTC

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh snaps! i hope you left a negative feedback.

no extra bumpers.............lol.....all the people hunting that paticular part for their bandits they would sureley be sore if they found out someone mated a good one to a fast traxx for extra protection.


by performerrpm on 2010-08-07 01:47:34 UTC

seen one of those on ebay the other day, is this the one?? looks to be in good shape, just sux its not the 9.6v version


by performerrpm on 2010-08-07 01:51:21 UTC

i could always put the black bandit body i have on the bandit chassis i bought from pandemic which works perfectly and has the chrome bumper and send it right to ya!!!!!! downfall is the one shock mount to that bandit chassis got snapped off durring shipping so needs glued back on.........other down fall is you would hafta part ways with the........................you guessed it......black fast traxx


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-07 02:32:05 UTC

that is the one you saw on  ebay and its in perfect condition, not 9.6v but for a simple function truck very fasst. as for the bumper peice, really i just want some kind of bumper for it i just know i could mount that on. and your not getting it, alouth how much would you give for it? just curious haha :P ;D


by performerrpm on 2010-08-07 02:44:43 UTC

id sure give ya what ya got in it broken gear or not.......as long as the body is still in good shape


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-07 03:04:31 UTC

well when my brother is sick of it ill let you know! why is it you want the black one?


by performerrpm on 2010-08-07 03:11:41 UTC


well when my brother is sick of it ill let you know! why is it you want the black one?



my friend had one when i was a kid and use to let me borrow it........was the coolest r/c ever but by the time i was gonna get one tyco had already stopped making them.......kinda like the bandits were too.


if i get bored ill break out an r/c car, thats why i have the extra the bandits i mentioned but for the most part they will be shelf queens


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-07 03:17:17 UTC

ahh so you want it for memories, well i'm making memories with my brother now, making up for lost time he had cancer around the time i would have played rc cars with him, so there went 5 years. now i want to get him the good old ones that he likes, and of course he picks the rarest his top choice was an outlaw( truck), then the black fast traxx truck, so i got that. and my search continues.


by performerrpm on 2010-08-07 03:28:13 UTC

cancer always sux to hear but sure nice to hear someone use the words 5 years in the past-tense.......having a 4 almost 5 year old son with leukemia i know just the feeling, in fact it was him getting sick that originally got me back buying tycos, i had bought him and his brother some new r/cs which turned out to suck so i bought the first bandit and elimiators to play with the my boys while we were in patient in the hospital...........accorse i didnt know i would be buying so many after that....lol


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-07 03:43:27 UTC

haha yeah! but seriously the crap tyco produces now, stinks. and these old ones are addicting!!!


by pendemic on 2010-08-07 04:00:31 UTC

i see you have a terrain twister in your collection too lmao. whats THAT all about new school collector  8)


by performerrpm on 2010-08-07 05:10:21 UTC

i seen that too, but i wast gona mention it ;)


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-07 15:31:04 UTC

haha i got that terrain twister as a present, i wanted that on the could fly and go on water instead i got the..........tearrain twisterrr  it is lameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


by pendemic on 2010-08-07 16:27:27 UTC

i cant remember what the last car tyco made that was ACTUALLY worth buying, probably around 2000 or something  :-\


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-07 16:35:51 UTC

my newest best one is the mutator! ;D haha


by performerrpm on 2010-08-07 21:01:56 UTC

had the mutator, didnt like it much....sure liked the tyco rebound though!!!! the newest tyco that i had that was cool was around 2000, it was a tyco 9.6v assasin. had a late 90s camaro body on like a offroad truck chassis, it would do a wheelie from take off


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-07 21:20:41 UTC

never heard of it sounds sweet! i've seen a new bright camaro monster truck thing on ebay still there


by performerrpm on 2010-08-07 23:30:54 UTC

it was cool, aside from the wheelie it would get with in the top speed area too, it also had a steering servo like the older bandits and etc instead of the cheap electromagnetic stuff that alot of r/cs have for steeringt ow days. sucked cause when i bought it, it was about the time k-mart and wal mart was starting to carry more new bright stuff and less and less tyco stuff, and i messed it up a bit cosmeticaly and was gona return it for a new one but they were all sold out!!!!


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-07 23:42:34 UTC

bummer i'd love to see a picture of it! haha


by pendemic on 2010-08-08 04:56:35 UTC

Hi
The car has been used well and is not in perfect condition. the stickers is coming away. I will accept 10 pounds including p & p, i would be ripping you off if i accepted 25.
Let me know if you are interested and i will end the listing, send you a paypal invoice,and post to you

haha, well then it still wont compare to my super fast traxx in speed, but it does look sweet.


they have others ive seen and was in AH when i seen em. their hovercraft has actual working lights on them. havent found any bandit, or things like that


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-12 03:57:07 UTC

well, i would want the 7.2v version, but if you get the right contacts, and get your hands on these you need to hook everyone up!! open up shop per say haha.


by djdarkforces on 2010-08-12 07:55:09 UTC

any 1 know how much in usd they are


by mayfew on 2010-08-12 16:36:34 UTC

The site is in Japanese. 

It says the fast traxx will go 12mph, and it sells for $39 USD 

If you click one of the buttons (check out) close to the price it will eventually ask you to register with the site in English. so you can become a Rakuten member.

I did not register, so I do not know if they ship to the states, or how much they will charge for shipping.

Seems like they are just a distribution center for Taiyo toys.  Taiyo currently only produces the fast traxx and the Typhoon from the old tyco line up.


by pendemic on 2010-08-13 03:03:10 UTC


well, i would want the 7.2v version, but if you get the right contacts, and get your hands on these you need to hook everyone up!! open up shop per say haha.
lol i will, i can get one easily its just filling the form out with my address thats getting me so i gotta wait and see what response i get. i can read SOME japanese(japanese friend).

by mayfew on 2010-08-18 17:01:55 UTC

For that price you could buy 10, then sell them for a profit on eBay.  Or put simply, become a distributor.  Use this site to promote them.


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-18 20:38:32 UTC

so this is my newest edition, that will be arriving sooner or later


by pendemic on 2010-08-18 20:40:05 UTC

lol you got it huh! did you see the harley truck on there?


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-18 20:46:48 UTC

yeah, the harely is the mini one though, the guy originall would sell it for 25$ but then he wasn't gunna sell so i upped it to 35+8(shipping) = 43 total. this is why i need a 49 mhz controller. this is my first truck/bandit(i believe its related it takes 8 AA's)( i'm exculding my baby harley truck since its simple function) i'm kinda excited!, now i need my first hopper/buggie!

heres my latest one, got a second chance offer yesterday for it. looks like ill need to get a new set of treads, but he told the body is in real nice shape just dirty


still eyeballing the yellow one of pendemics on ebay tho


by performerrpm on 2010-08-19 00:25:40 UTC


if thats the mini i wonder what the regular version looks like.



looks like this one
i was gonna bid/buy that lil one and put the body on my eliminator, but looks like the bodies a bit smaller and a little different around the wheels


by performerrpm on 2010-08-19 00:57:44 UTC


WHOA



i thought i might have a bandit problem, looks like pendemic has a fast traxx problem.....lol


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-19 02:35:00 UTC

Nice, how much for the red truck fast traxx?

And I'm hoping being a 4wd truck won't make it too much slower, and I guess this sill means I need a normal type 2wd bandit,  Anyone have a suggestion on a good kind of buggy/ hopper? I want a fast one? How much better is an areo hopper vs. A hopper? Or what's a good nikko/radio shack one?? Help me out please!!!!


by performerrpm on 2010-08-19 02:40:45 UTC

60 for the red one, but i figured with my red ftraxx car ive got plenty of spare parts. pretty sure that 4x4 you bought will have 2 motors but iam not sure, the guy that had the last one told me that his was just a tad slower taking off than his bandit was but was still pretty quick


the turbo hoppers are the same as the bandits just dif bodies, but i think the aero twin turbo hopper is the fastes but hard to come by, look at the radio shack r/cs theres several golden arrows in a lot on ebay thats still pretty low on bids like 20 bucks, i seen one on youtube i think they maybee faster than the tycos


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-19 02:45:30 UTC

Yeah I thought maybe I get a 7.2v radio shack and I would be good I've seen lots of radio shack ones on eBay, and a few nikko, wondering what's best, since I've never had a hopper/buggie.


by performerrpm on 2010-08-19 02:46:01 UTC

on the other hand, i was just thinking, this is the second tyco you beat me on.......lol black traxx.....now the turbo 4x4................


by performerrpm on 2010-08-19 02:47:22 UTC

alot of the radio shacks were just restickered versions of the nikkos, take the bodies off the radio shack cars and they say nikko on the parts, the golden arow is a 7.2v i think


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-19 03:02:20 UTC

Haha sorry man, the next ones you will get cause I need to stop spending haha, I see the golden arrows go pretty high, so I figured they were good


by performerrpm on 2010-08-19 05:52:40 UTC


Haha sorry man, the next ones you will get cause I need to stop spending haha, I see the golden arrows go pretty high, so I figured they were good



lmao.........amen to that, my spending has gotten way outta hand on these lil bastards, iam trying to decide on that yellow truck traxx then imma take a breather from buying them for a bit......ive got a real car that id like to finish up and its been taking the back seat to these tycos


by djdarkforces on 2010-08-19 13:21:38 UTC

heres a rebound i won for $19 on ebay in nice condition just had it today


by djdarkforces on 2010-08-19 13:37:44 UTC

hahaha ye can be adictive cant it  :o


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-19 13:41:17 UTC

yeah, i need to make a change fund to go to these, and when i have enough i can get one haha, plus college will soon overwhelm my life and i wont be abe to use them for awhile.

nice rebound, i just don't want to get anything that is 6.0v for lack of speed.


by djdarkforces on 2010-08-19 13:56:31 UTC

ye 6v tyco there not as fast but i like the .rebound . tantrum .and taiyo edge trax. there pretty good

are u looking forward to going to college


by performerrpm on 2010-08-19 19:31:12 UTC

i like that rebound, been thinking id like to have one myself. as for speed the rebounds are fast, in fact i doubt the fast traxx is any faster, they just dont run but 5 minutes or so on the 6.0v


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-19 21:07:59 UTC

as for college, i just want to know where all my classes are, i would like to skip all the general ed. stuff. and go strait to my career classes.

the only 6.0v i have is my boat so yeah the 6v are different to me


by performerrpm on 2010-08-20 17:43:14 UTC

well i won pendimics yellow  fast traxx truck last nite, looks like i got a pair ofem now, but iam gonna have quit buying for awhile, iam back upto 8 tycos now after just selling 2!!!

by czstycor/c on 2010-08-21 03:19:33 UTC

haha, yeah that outlaw may be my weak spot, even though its not for me.

by jthompson on 2010-08-21 20:12:55 UTC


nice collection!


thanks! ;D


the super hopper looks good im after 2 taiyo does the  max hopper which is the same realy 4 wheel drive just it takes 8xaa instead


4wd super hopper is mint! its 9.6 v  tyco, made by taiyo just like the rest of the tycos


by performerrpm on 2010-08-21 21:49:54 UTC

nice!!! i like those bandits.......and eliminator


by performerrpm on 2010-08-21 21:52:40 UTC

pendemic.....wheres thos pics of the black fast traxx truck at that you have hoarded back????


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-21 22:31:59 UTC

What is that next to the left of the fast traxx??????? It looks like an areo hopper!!! I want one of them.


by jthompson on 2010-08-21 23:34:03 UTC


What is that next to the left of the fast traxx??????? It looks like an areo hopper!!! I want one of them.


Its called the shocker 9.6v


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-21 23:51:12 UTC

who made that taiyo?

and whats the fastest


by jthompson on 2010-08-22 01:22:05 UTC

Yes its
who made that taiyo?

and whats the fastest


Yes its made by taiyo,  the twin Turbo aero Hopper is the fastest


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-22 01:31:35 UTC

Is that the one with two spoilers? Surprised thought the eliminator would be the fastest.


by jthompson on 2010-08-22 01:42:41 UTC


Is that the one with two spoilers? Surprised thought the eliminator would be the fastest.


Yes. The eliminator don't even close. The twin Turbo is 2wd with two motors.


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-22 02:03:49 UTC

Wow what's is the runner up? I've never seen a twin turbo aero hopper run.


by jthompson on 2010-08-22 02:10:52 UTC


Wow what's is the runner up? I've never seen a twin turbo aero hopper run.


The turbo bandit then the fast traxx


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-22 02:29:37 UTC

Hmm interesting, I've always heard the eliminator being faster then the bandits. Since the eliminator is the same as a super bandit.


by jthompson on 2010-08-22 02:38:04 UTC

Its quick


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-22 02:50:18 UTC

I'd love to see that twin turbo hopper vers. the bandit. Or just run in general!


by jthompson on 2010-08-22 02:55:01 UTC

[/quote

Hmmm ill have to c if I can do that


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-22 03:10:28 UTC

Yes do it.


by performerrpm on 2010-08-22 07:32:58 UTC

had a twin turbo aero hopper, they are fast, i think there a tad faster than the twin lambo possibly because the taller tires.


iam pretty sure the bandit and regular hoppers are the same speed since they have the same electronics/motors/ just different body.


my eliminators ive had and the one i have now will spank any of my bandits top speed wise, i think the eliminator and super bandit box says 25% faster than the previous years 9.6v cars


by performerrpm on 2010-08-22 07:53:23 UTC

id be up for seeing that hammer run, i havent been able to see anything on video as to how they run ive always read about them


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-22 12:31:22 UTC

So d you think the twin turbo aero hopper is the fastest tyco?


by djdarkforces on 2010-08-22 14:37:23 UTC

id say the twin lambo would have better top speed and the twin hopper would have better power


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-22 15:59:56 UTC

i'd like to find out what the fastest is. should be the lambo just has the looks for it.


by Tamm on 2010-08-22 16:36:22 UTC

hi just thought i would add some of my recent buys


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-22 16:56:09 UTC

Cool looking heads up hopper! What is that one in the top right corner sitting in the background look nice.


by performerrpm on 2010-08-22 20:56:27 UTC

the lambo may be faster, there use to be a thread here with the actual speeds of most the popular tycos and the lambo and aero twin was real close i just cant remember certainly which


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-22 21:20:10 UTC

yeah i know what your talking about i was thinking about starting one. but i haven't clocked any of mine.


by pendemic on 2010-08-23 04:42:42 UTC


pendemic.....wheres thos pics of the black fast traxx truck at that you have hoarded back????
i still have it just been busy! this forum has been lighting up since i last checked.


by djdarkforces on 2010-08-23 07:33:32 UTC

i like the black fast traxx dont see many about


by pendemic on 2010-08-23 07:34:52 UTC

VERY RARE!


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-23 11:29:46 UTC

Yeah you need to keep up, I'll try but I start classes today


by performerrpm on 2010-08-23 23:37:27 UTC

that ones even rarer, to me since ive seen the black tyco but not the taiyo stickered one


by SavedONE on 2010-08-24 00:42:03 UTC

-I had 2 of the blk. ones, I never thought of these as being worth money some day :)


by pendemic on 2010-08-24 00:45:34 UTC


-I had 2 of the blk. ones, I never thought of these as being worth money some day :)
their worth a lot!


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-24 02:48:06 UTC

dont have them now do you haha.


by performerrpm on 2010-08-26 04:56:13 UTC


-I had 2 of the blk. ones, I never thought of these as being worth money some day :)




:-\ and ive yet to get one!!!
but no worries, iam concocting a plan as a type


by performerrpm on 2010-08-26 05:24:41 UTC

well looks like i lied a bit, bought a couple more tycos...............was only after one which was the rebound and and charger, the monster traxx just came with it.......i doubt ill keep the traxx, it just dont look like itll do it for me


by SavedONE on 2010-08-26 12:05:17 UTC

-I was under the impression that a "monster" traxx, was a bunch more "monster" than that :o


by djdarkforces on 2010-08-26 12:07:25 UTC

ive seen lots pics of the monster traxx never seen 1 on the move tho no videos about of 1 what there like
the rebound is pretty good tho aint they


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-26 14:24:57 UTC

haha, nice rebound, monster traxx looks lame.


by pendemic on 2010-08-26 23:49:29 UTC

the tracks from the monster traxx looks like it can fit on a super fast traxx


by performerrpm on 2010-08-27 00:01:33 UTC

wonder what the monster traxx's worth would be? since i did get it for free i guess it dont matter awhole lt but be nice if it sold for enuff to cover most the cost for the rebound




yep scorcher, the rebound was one i had when i was a kid that i think was overall the most fun, accorse i didnt have a fast traxx so that maybee why. i started to buy one mint in the box but i guess it was the 2000 ish re-release and looked the same but the remote was different which i really didnt care for

i take all my pics with my phone some phones have decent quality im getting a good vid cam soon to record them in use for youtube


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-27 16:36:35 UTC

yeah the 4x4 and schorcher pictures of mine were taken with a phone, clearly not the best, but easier to resize, since the picture need to be tiny to add to a post if you don't have photo bucket, or something else.

-I recall, "Turbo Thruster...Our fastest Vehicle Ever", from the Radio Shack ad- :)


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-29 02:27:42 UTC

have you tried the boat out-riptide- if so how is it? and i really want that lambo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D  i just got a parts lobo II with another car is it woth restoring/ making hobby grade to get it running?


by SavedONE on 2010-08-29 03:01:17 UTC

-Look at it this way, about your LOBO resto, if you think it'd be worth it, to put hobby electronics into a Tamiya Hornet, Mad Bull, Mad Fighter..., then, it's worth it to you, as they are very similar.  (I'm sorry to have jumped in here to reply, pardon me :))


by performerrpm on 2010-08-29 03:09:35 UTC

hey turbobandit.....was wondering where ya been, see ya still got some bandits and few others.






cz, iam not sure about the paticular pic turbo posted it maybee taken right before i ended up with that red lambo........that or he has already aquired another lambo. he is actually where i got my red bandit from too......i think he had doubles of everything in boxes just about


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-29 03:26:07 UTC

Savedone here is the deal. I know nothing of making anything hobby grade. This is actually the first buggie I've ever seen or touched. I would have to take it somewhere to get this done. I don't even see the battery connector on the car or antenna.

Well someone needs to sell me a lambo, preferably haha. Twin turbo none of that single engine stuff.


by performerrpm on 2010-08-29 03:37:28 UTC

ive seen a few of them, there not that much fun, seeing the single is pretty much the same as the twin minus 1 motor, they dont have alot of clearence so their kinda a smooth parking lot only r/c since they ride rough, as far as just cruising around the house, they dont handle like a lambo and the turning radius is lacking, excellent for shelf racing tho


by turbobandit on 2010-08-29 04:54:53 UTC

Hey wats up Performer long time no talk....That is actually a new lambo that i picked up on ebay for 9.99 lol, its the twin turbo with pistol grip, it actually runs really well.  And yes the turbo thruster is by far the fastes non-hobby grade i have ever owned, and riptide boat is a great Swimming pool boat, but not good for lake.


by performerrpm on 2010-08-29 05:40:38 UTC

not much, tryin to keep from getting overwhelmed with tycos, well you will probaly break cz's heart when he see's the 9.99 price tag you paid, you just ad that black bandit, didnt remeber you mentionig it when i talked to ya last time


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-29 12:15:21 UTC

Wow. Ten bucks. I'm crying now.


by turbobandit on 2010-08-29 17:21:47 UTC

Yeah i added the black bandit not too long ago, its not mint but its very very good condition, i also have another Red Arrow that is mint in box but not in the picture, i like collecting tyco, radio shack, and nikko stuff when i get bored...lol


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-29 17:49:15 UTC

So how ouch of a difference is there between the single engine and twin turbo lambo?


by turbobandit on 2010-08-29 18:43:57 UTC

The single motor lambo takes off faster, but the twin motor has more top end, both are nice but most prefer the twin engine.


by czstycor/c on 2010-08-29 20:00:34 UTC

hmm, intersting, i wonder how much a difference there is in top speed.


by czstycor/c on 2010-09-04 20:06:48 UTC

SEE MY NEWEST ADDITIONS 2 yellow fast traxx, 1 red fast traxx, half traxx, 2 mini traxx yeelow and red.  and the battery doors made for the 4x4 bandit.

by czstycor/c on 2010-09-06 02:26:06 UTC

yes! actually, my collection has grown alot in the past 3 months or less. i added: 4 original fast traxx, truck traxx, 2 mini traxx, half traxx, 4x4 bandit, mini harley truck, centipede, schorcher, and hot wheels buggie. + a parts fast traxx, and lobo.

not too bad then i would say, for starting with a super fast traxx and some other few.

  i can see you have a great collection bro and i do love the fast traxx  and the scorcher , you are very lucky as they not so abundent in the u.k at least not were i live  :(..  my only tyco model is the fast traxx but i hope to come across a scorcher and also a bandit it would also be very nice to come across a bnib super fast traxx though i know they are very rare these days , thanks my friend  ;D


by czstycor/c on 2010-09-06 14:05:29 UTC

Well actually scorchers are often on ebay the German, and uk, I look and watch then a scorcher just went off last night on th us eBay, and one on the German which sold for $1.58. I know a few months ago there was a nib super fast traxx for 400 but it didn't sell. I don't know how complex shipping is o the uk but maybe if I find and get another scorcher or any of the one you want I could send them. It's a possibility.

thanks bro not had to much luck with ebay as of late and my pay pall no longer works but i could get my friend to purchase these cars and give him the cash but think shipping form the usa and germany would be to much but if any come up on the u,k ebay i would be interested thanks for the heads up  ;) :D
