Hi All,
I just wanted to join in the festivities and show off my collection of tyco r/cs. When i was in elementary, i remember being in awe of all the tyco rc commercials. especially the turbo hopper, jumping off the cliff and seeing how the turbo work. man, that was the s**t to me.
Thanks to ebay and craigslist, ive been able to collect the 3 r/cs i had when i was younger (hopper, stocker, and black lambo) plus many more of the ones i dreamed about. im still looking for a twin turbo hopper, but im sure ill have that soon...
The mods done on the Tyco R/Cs were done using stock pinion gears and using upgraded 280 motors with higher rpms. they are really smooth but scream like a bat outta hell (ill get mph numbers soon when the rain stops, i got a speed gun)! best part though is the use of hobby servos for steering (ahhh!)
I also thew in some misc r/cs at the end. i also got some other hobby grade r/cs, but for whatever reason those are not as fun
