These are rare Tyco/Taiyo 4wd racing nissan trucks that came out before the Tyco Bandit. It was released in 1988 and discontinued that same year. The Taiyo version is even rarer than the Tyco version. Both have the duel motor, which provided the 4wd action, and the only notable difference is one spo...

Freaking awsome! I love to see when someone bring these cars back to life!

Came out beautifully!

I swear I saw those 3D printed lighted cubes on eBay. Something similar I reckon.

Thanks and yes but I had him make me special colors he didn't have in stock. I believe it's the same guy.

Thanks bro

If you don't know by now I am a huge Tamiya King Cab and Tyco RC fan/collector so I thought is would have been cool to make a king cab slot truck just for fun as I have never seen one.

They are custom car shelves I had someone make for me

Thanks and yes they are extremely hard to find

Looks trick! Totally agree, when Traxxas dropped the racing "program" and went full RTR bashing on 6s, they jumped the shark. The Blue (Red) Eagle is one of my favorites. It represents a time when Traxxas was really trying to stay competitive, releasing new kits and packaged conversion ki...
