Tyco and Nikko collection

[EmperorTomaso]

Hello,

I have a collection of Tycos and Nikkos. I have accounts on most major RC sites but no one seems to care about Tycos and Nikkos.
I collect only Tyco and Nikko cars because they were fast and interesting grade of RC model which I had when a kid. I have a few
interesting Tyco restore threads incoming.

I have a Tyco 9.6V Hijacker, 9.6V Devastator, 9.6V Scorcher, 9.6V Fast Traxx, 9.6V Bandit. I also have a 7.2V Super Rebound.

I have a Taiyo 9.6V 4WD Jet Racer ( Tyco Super hopper ), Taiyo 9.6V Blaster.

Currently have 2 Nikkos, Nikko Hurricane ( toy grade/hobby grade cross ), and a Nikko 9.6V Jumping car.

I do like Tamiyas of old but I don't own any now as I sold them a few years ago. I am looking to buy a Tamiya Boomerang though.

Welcome to the site. I'm interested to see the restore threads.

I think it's safe to say everyone here cut their teeth on Tyco and Nikko when they were kids and each of us probably has a favorite or two that we had or really really wanted. I always viewed Tyco as being sold at toy stores and Nikko being sold at electronics stores but it's cool you've got a collection of both. I have a few of each floating around, reminders of days gone by. And since there's already a Nikko/Tyco section here you're sure to find some Ty-Ni love. Awesome first post. Welcome!

Welcome! Those brands were great for being an introduction to R/C along with Radio Shack and Sears vehicles. I remember the Turbo Hopper commercials and always wanted the Fast Traxx. I was almost ready to collect & restore them a few years ago but decided to make a fast Kyosho Blizzard instead.

Thank you for the replies. I'll post pictures of all my cars soon in the vintage section.

We definitely have an interest in Tyco and Nikko among others. Mainly those from the '80s and '90s. Maybe you've already seen it but there's even a dedicated forum just for them: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewforum.php?f=136

Im a huge tyco collector and I love the bandit as it was my first RC car ever. I have a decent collection but always looking for more.
