Those LED'S are ***** dope lol. Sorry havent been around for a while school always takes up a lot of time for me...As far as modifying all these tycos and installing brushless systems and trying to make them work, I dont know about it...It seems like one wrong move and you stripped all your gears and then its done. Unless you want to go out and get them machined and reinstall them bu I think we should appreciate them for what they are. I took my fast traxx out the other day and yes it was stupid slow lol...I couldnt believe the box of my super fast traxx says that its actually faster than the original, in my opinion its not at all. Maybe I should use a LIPO 7.4v battery and see what happens lol.

Oh man I can't believe people are still interested in this little car as much as I am. I JUST bought one last week on eBay. I got the one that was in best condition. Ended up snipping it from someone so I got an awesome price! Unfortunately, there is a small problem with it but I'm not sure what it is yet, that's this weekend's project, other than that this little thing runs GREAT! I'm hoping to upgrade it later if the motors ever fail but there are 2 so I'm not sure if it will need 2 ESC's. If you guys want to see some photos of the insides I can snap a few and you guys can tell me what you think. Hey malice23 do you have any good pics of the guts of your Super Fast Traxx?

zxknight

[sm=thumbs_up.gif] Brings back some good memories, my neighbor had one back then. And yes the Turbo Bandit how could I forget..lol

malice23

No, no pics of the insides of the traxx. Sorry man.

Hey guys, I have the original mini typhoon hovercraft. I don't have the TX for it. Do you guys think the Tx for the fast traxx would work? Since it has the dual up and down sticks? I also have the old Rip Tide boat, and I still use it. When I was a kid I had almost all of the tyco r/cs. Do you guys remember the Heads up Wild Thing, or the Hammer? It was a M/T.

malice23

if its the same frequency it should work. As far as the hammer I actually bought one from germany on ebay and when it was sent to me the TX was in horrible condition and wouldnt work so I never go the truck to work right. Unfortunately I had to sell it.

Look 450 dollars for this bandit lol.

Hey Iused to have the Fast Trax pickup anybody remember those? I would love to have another one. Please if anyone knows where I can get one let me know that thing was awesome. A buddy of mine had the turbo hammer monster truck and wed have tug of war matchs. My fast trax always won.

malice23

Check ebay now and then. They usually have those on there all the time.

I got one that is like a fluorescent greenish yellow. The gear selector doesn't stay and the battery cover hinge is broke.

Yeah I was looking at those Tycos on ebay, I can't believe the bandit and the others are going for so much, makes me wish I had held on to all of mine, I'd could be rolling in some cash....lol....that is if anybody would pay that much for them. I doubt anyone is gonna give that much for one of those, you can get a heck of a good hobby grade r/c for $450.

Yeah I had a black pickup. It dominated everything that we had around. I wish I could have another one.

hi

You know the fast traxx right. At the rear it has a button for L/H gears, what are those used for?

devast8r

My Feedback: (17)

Low gear and high gear.

chrisanthony14

yea i know but what do they do? whats the difference between them?

JJay03

Low gives you more torque, High gives you top speed.

chrisanthony14

haha ic..cool..thanks

$450 that guy is crazy. lol Maybe in 20-30 more years
In 20-30 more years and they will be worth 1000+ and that bandit is NEW IN THE BOX! good used go from ive seen 200-350
he settled for 375(It did say or best offer)and free shipping I think it was a great deal,and it comes with a unopened battery pack and charger, when I seen it,it had brought back alot of childhood memories,

chrisanthony14

the old tyco r/cs are built to last..I recently bought 2 Tyco hot wheels dune devils and they both spoiled on the first drive.[:@]

malice23

Ya I made the same mistake a couple of years ago. I bought some F150 truck and it was real nice but weak as hell and slow as **** lol. The old tycos are the best and built wayyy better. Dont even try to compare..just invest in the vintage stuff. BTW... if anyone is interested I have a 6v turbo python for sale as well as a tyco 6v samurai both with working remotes batteries and chargers. I also have the box and display stand for the samurai. Let me know if you're interested.

chrisanthony14

375 is still to expensive for that r/c..i remember back in the day..canadian tire had them on sale 2 for 70 bucks..oh man i really wish i got them then...[]

ponetay

I have a Tyco Hammer in great condition for sale if anyone is interested.
