Hello everyone! I just recently decided that I would like to try and collect some of my favourite Tyco RCs from when I was a kid in the 90s!
I live in Canada and grew up in a rural town, but I still remember a time when everyone my age had some sort of Tyco.
So far I've picked up a Mutator and a fast traxx but I want a scorcher so bad! I'll try and attach pics so bear with me!
The Mutator I picked up for $20 off Kijiji and it's a beast. I bought some new NiMH 9.6v packs off amazon and I'm really stoked at how well this thing performs... Just like when I was a kid! I cleaned it up and re did the headlights with colored duck tape... I feel like it turned out pretty nice.
The other one I picked up was a Fast Traxx of course. The most enigmatic and exciting RC of the early 90s(IMO). I found this one for $50 but I wasn't in my city so I had it mailed to me. The seller claimed it was new but it has definitely had a few rough runs.
So far I've found the battery lid pins are snapped, hi/lo gears are stripped and the treads are in a little rough shape.
Somehow though the body of the fast traxx is in really nice shape...
Does anyone know where I can find new treads for my traxx?! I found a new batt cover and gears but I really would like to purchase some new treads!
I have seen pics of an "updated" tread but I can't find any available right now... Thoughts?
