Hey everyone, I got this really cool Tyco Traxx scaled down car today. Its not r/c but more of a push car, a bit bigger than a hotwheels. Its made by Playtime Products Inc. and has the Tyco name on it also. Just wondering if any of you guys have ever seen one. Its in near new condition with all stickers intact and looking nice with the exception of a couple of the wheels having some extra plastic along the rim, not sure if it was a production issue or someone melted the rims a little, I have to take a closer look later. Anyways, Its dated 1991. Just wanted to share and hopefully get some input. Thanks everyone! Oh, on one of the pics, I placed a quarter in front just for comparison.

So you are absolutely correct!! I checked the car this morning and sure enough, its a pullback! It was a little sticky, I think because of the slightly melted wheels, but after a few tries it gets going. Thanks again for the info, its an even cooler little car now.

Great find i to have been looking for these.I'll collect anything with traxx. Maybe you can dremel the excess melted goop and straighten it.Im pretty sure theres a fix for that,than color the five spoke chrome just like its bigger brother.

Ive never seen this one but I do have a red XV Racers fast traxx new in box with the buggy type body. Its just like that but motorized and waterproof
