i dont think its tyco, but taiyo was the name behind the good tycos, so it probably isn't too bad. i've never seen it before. i'd get it if the price isn't too bad.

no its not a tyco but they are good buggys tho they used the same gear box and chassis as the grabber just different body and wheels taiyo tyco all the same to me in my opinion

tamm has got a grabber and that 1 he could tell u best how good it is

THANKS guys  the seller said it is in mint condition . but here is the bummer no controller  :'(..  so could be another hobby grade conversion .lol.. i just wonder  if it has twin motors for 4wd or just one with a shaft or gear drive ??..

Loos to be a single motor. I bet you could use a tyco remote for it like a hopper remote, just need the frequency

-that's cool, I mean, I've never seen a Tyco like that w/ dual a-arm front suspension.  I wish I had paypal lol.  I think Tyco must have built certain R/C's for certain parts of the world.  I've never seen anything like that here in PA, but the "ultra rare" Black Fast Traxx pickup---I had 2 of!!!

hey Savedone you are here in PA, with me sweet haha  p.s. it not tyco though its  only taiyo.

-Oh I see.  Where about in PA are you from,(?) I live north of Pittsburgh, in a town called Chicora, which is directly between Kittanning & Butler :)

haha, i'm closer to harrisburg, lebanon actually.

-yeah, that be a bit of a trek :)

just a llittle 3-5 hours haha

ok thanks i will give it a shot thanks for the heads up  ;)

thought i would pass it on never been to fussed on nikko cars only coz i dont much about them or ive never had 1 ive seen a few nice 1s about but then i  can never find any videos or info so i stay away from them coz i think ill be dissapointed with it when i get it but that looks pretty impressive and looks the part  but dunno what it goes like ..... but i know what most tycos are like so i know what im buying  so i dont get dissapointed with them

the body is cool on that truck looks like my bug crusher

-wow, notatoy, you sure do keep busy!!!  Thanks for sharing your Clod
pics :)  It amazes me that the Clod's been produced for nearly 25 years,
it'd be nice if the non-hobby Co.'s sold parts for that long ;D  Oh & btw, Radio
Shack's website is starting to show this year's Christmas line-up, I checked yesterday!!!

I know what your saying scorcher its true that there is not to many nikko videos i have had a few nikko cars and some were complete rubbish and others were near hobbygrade , so i tend not to pay to much cash for toy grade cars ,that way if it all goes pear shaped i have not lost a fortune , but that car in the link does look good . thanks  ;D

that is a cool looking car scorcher i have seen those on nitroteck;s web sight i know there is also a brushless version  very cool

pimp cane chassie is realy for crawlers but i have made a hybrid with my clod a cross between a rock racer and a crawler  one of a kind  ;D

ye the bug crusher u can get the brushless version to i got the stock version tho would of done a pic of mine but its stiped down at the mo got some upgrades for it ill be getting a 35a 9t ezrun B/L kit for it i dont wanna go to mad with it

  do yourself a favour get thev 60amp esc  the 35's burn up real quick i have a lot of experiance with hobbywing systems  the ezrun and there new flagship the xerun i have had most of them here is a xerun system in my traxxas slash they run sensored are more expensive than the ezrun but made buy the same company

thats a cool looking truck i had a hsp nitro model named the nitroking  but i converted it to brushless .lol.. dont have it now it was stolen along with a bunch of other r/c a while back just have the pics and video lol ..

i think i should have started a new thread  hee hee  :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D hey scorcher your in the u'k ???  i order most my r/c stuff from these guys there prices pretty hard to beat  ;)  http://www.giantcod.co.uk/

them 35a kits look good on youtube but few people have told me that they have burned them out ill have a think about it thanks for the link ill have a good look at it there a hobby shop few miles from me which alright for bits n bobs but most stuff i get off ebay ye im in u.k im in the valleys of wales where u to

yes to be honest if your going to install a brushless system in a 1/10 scale model  you should be looking at a 60 amp esc the 35'a are ok for very light weight buggies 1/12 and smaller ,  i have two of the xerun 60a one in a slash the other a tamiya lunch box  ..i also have two of the new xerun brushless combos for the 1/8 scale models one in my savage the other in my E-revo     

sh** thats a big motor whats the t on the motor and the amps on the esc is it a 150 or more

sh** thats a big motor whats the t on the motor and the amps on the esc is it a 150 or more
LOL  :D    yes both esc are 150 amps and will run 6.s lipo .. the motors are 2000 k,v  4pole  with anti shatter rotors  very powerfull  .lol.

:o alot of oooooooooomph in that set up then mate get any problems keeping the front end down on them
  yes all the time  :D.. i realy need some new video of this revo and savage but been way to busy hope to get some real soon ,,  here is the revo on its first test run after fitting of the hobbywing brushless system   and i was running crappy lipo .lol..   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MEbYLWXlGo    around half way through the video you can see one of the rear tiers explode  the grass was kinda wet and traction was not the best  enjoy  ;D

;DGreat tire blow-out!!!  Do you live in that castle?

;DGreat tire blow-out!!!  Do you live in that castle?
  no i dont live in that castle .lol.. its kind'a  a landmark not far from my house  a great place full of history . yes the tire sure gave me trouble haha  the savage and the e-revo are two of the most powerfull r/c i have but they do require lots of space to run them , were as the likes of my fast traxx i can run indoors if i wish , iam looking towards picking up more tyco r/c and toy grades .but ebay are so greedy as of late and there is lots of shill bidding going on . thanks

looks good mate lol at tha blow out good pop on it
