Re: My own personal Tyco and Nikko collection

Re: My own personal Tyco and Nikko collection
My Tyco Devastator, this is quite large. Nice long travel front and rear suspension, super 90s illuminous green chassis and wheels. The upper body is the same as the Hi jacker. The Tyco Turbo hammer is the same as this but with a Super Bandit style body. This car is fun to drive and will go anywhere...

Re: My own personal Tyco and Nikko collection
Here is my Tyco 9.6V Scorcher 6X6, it's 4WD not 6WD, in some countries Tyco had to stop putting 6X6 on them because it was false marketing so they put 4X6 on them instead. I have an earlier version of the Scorcher hence the 6X6 branding. Similar tank style control mechanism with the 2 forward and ba...

Re: My own personal Tyco and Nikko collection
Fun collection you have. I had a half trax as a kid. Constantly broke it. Dad kept fixing it. What good times. My best friend had the fast traxx and I think it was just a little faster than mine was. I remember the half Traxx, the green one in particular. Only difference was you could go around cor...

Re: My own personal Tyco and Nikko collection
Here is my Nikko Hurricane, it's a 1/12 scale but more like 1/10. It's a big buggy almost the same size as my Tamiya Boomerang. This is weird one, it's one of those Nikko's that was almost hobby grade but sold as a toy grade. I have a plan to put hobby grade electronics into this as I think it kinda...

Re: My own personal Tyco and Nikko collection
Here's some more pictures of my Hi jacker, I had just finished giving it a good clean when I took these pics previously. I posted these before on Rc Groups awhile back.

Re: My own personal Tyco and Nikko collection
This is my Hi jacker, the chassis on this is a modified version of the Wild Thing/Turbo Hopper chassis. Body springs up on the touch of a button on the controller. The body being jacked up doesn't give the car any better off road abilities. The center of gravity stays the same. I drove this mostly w...

Re: My own personal Tyco and Nikko collection
Everyone knows this, it's a beast and probably faster then all the other Tycos. It's a bullet off the line. Lovely condition and amusing to watch it take off, blink and you'll miss it. Tracks are in great condition for their age. I love this in red. There is a Fast Traxx Pickup also which is the sam...

Re: My Tyco and Nikko collection
Ever seen a hen's tooth ? Here is a hen's tooth ! This is probably the rarest Tyco I have. The sponsored Nigel Mansell F1 car. This is super light and it's fast ! Very low center of gravity. Its from 1993 and probably not many of them were sold. I bought this on eBay and I was so lucky to spot it wh...

Re: My Tyco and Nikko collection
Here is my second generation Bandit with the differential. All Tycos that have "Turbo" on the engine cover have gear diffs just incase your wondering. Unusual to find these trucks with the front bumper and Spot lights in tact. The truck is in really good condition. This is from 1992' I bel...

My own personal Tyco and Nikko collection
This is going to be a long thread because I have alot of these and they are the ones you wanted or remember as kids. I'll upload them throughout the day. I'll start with my Japan made Turbo Blaster. This car is fast and well built for what it is. It's a 1989 first version of the Blaster with the 8 A...

Re: Taiyo Jet Racer ( Tyco Super Turbo Hopper )
Going to be painting this car shortly. Have a nice new 80s RC decal sheet I ordered from eBay. Its going to look really well in new colours. I also have some replacement tyres from another Taiyo which are exactly the same and in near perfect condition. The tyres currently on it are cracked on the si...

Re: Taiyo Jet Racer ( Tyco Super Turbo Hopper )
Few random ones, the front differential has perfect gears, no stripping or any signs of wear. It has some sort of white grease in it. The grease does seem abit caked though so I will need to remove the old stuff and apply new stuff. The main gearbox at the back doesnt open easily. The wheels are pre...

Re: Taiyo Jet Racer ( Tyco Super Turbo Hopper )
I'll be further stripping this car down as far as I can go. I'll upload more clearer pics as I go along
