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.

really just all depends on who's looking at the moment,the condition of the vehicle and the pics that are posted,,,, could be around $20 could be $50 someone could see it and have to have it and pay $100 you never know

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
Title: Re: Tyco R/C Taiyo 4 WD Super Turbo
Post by: scorcher on December 22, 2011, 08:46:37
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
