Yep no problem, I believe what your looking for will be on the first page

From this page click the forum tab at the top of the screen, then click on the forum labeled tyco rc. The thread you looking for will be the second from the top labeled dealer catalogs from the 80s and 90s.

-
Thanks for the info, so what kind of controller would i need for my car
-
thats a little tricky be care full when you buying a controller have you looked on the car and controller
-
Hi I'm not sure what u mean look at the car where. There is a sticker on the underside of the car that says this car operates on 49 MHz and the battery compartment hold 8 AA Nickel Cadmium batteries. The car is appox: 12 inches long & 8 inches wide & high at it's highest point at the back it is 5.5 inches
-
ye but it could be 49.115mhz or it could be 49.445mhz and so on
try sending this guy a msg he got the same as yours ask him what frequency it runs on but it still wont be a garantee that it be the same due to the controller being the old taiyo style controller so get searching google hard
