old tyco truck

[mmbackpacker]

I remember an old tyco my younger brother had in the early 90's.... nissan "hardbody" with an engine in the bed of the truck that added weight and a couple extra "AA" batteries and it made it wheely....

I don't think it was the baja bandit, but I might be wrong.

Anybody know which rig I am thinking of?

Turbo Outlaw, my mate had one as his first RC, I sourced him a NIB one last year, made his day, has a V* on bed at back takes extra cells?

Bravo, thats the one! My brother's was red just like that as well. Any way you could get a wheelbase and width measurement for me?

pics and a video, its 230 miles away, and he is in the process of moving house so won't speak to him till next week, it is 1/20 if that helps

1/20 might work for a scale losi mini rock crawler, that's what I was wondering, thanks.

Yes, the v8 out back takes a couple extra batteries for extra power and wheelies.

That was a hoot! it looked like a Benny Hill chase scene zipping from one side of the screen to the other all you needed was a girl running around in there and you would have nailed it cool stuff

Its not so much the wheelies that I want as much as it is the memories.... lol. I also would like the body for a scale rock crawler.
