'57 Chevy ???
Hi, I have a question. This last weekend I picked up a RC '57 Chevy at a yard sale ($5.00). No controller, battery pack or charger. I took it apart to see if there was any name on it... nothing. Its black with flame stickers, blacked out windows, blower and scoop coming up through hood, and a speaker for engine sound. Its wheelbase is 9 1/16 in.(about 232 mm). The body is about 17 inches long(about 432 mm). It looks like it takes 8 AA batteries but also has a wiring harness for a battery pack. Soft rubber tires and an ugly wire bumper extended out front to protect against heavier crashes. Does anyone know what brand this is ??? I hope someone can identify this car. Thanks, Matrix329

Your probably not going to find any answers here, the rc cars discussed and owned by people are anything but "toy grade" . Most are expensive carbon fiber and aluminum race cars, with hundreds and hundreds of dollars invested just to get them around the track
Good luck |
Once you mentioned "speaker for engine noises" that puts it into the toy category. Sorry man.

Tyco-57 chevy

I believe they were sold at Radio Shack.

Sorry Man
I build models for a hobby and thought I would expand to something a bit more active. But, Since I can't see myself becoming a snobish sphincter, I think I will stick with my models.

That comment made my day, funniest thing I've heard all week. Bro, If you want something with a classic look that wont break the bank, get a bolink legends car. I think they are RJ speed now. I have one I play with, and my son loves it. We werent trying to be mean, just pointing out that you wont get much info for that type of car here. I have quite a few of the old tyco cars, just to have them. The turbo hopper buggy was pretty cool, by far one of my favorites. |
...a static model can add just the right dimension .....
.....[ or a cool aspect of being able to remotely control your model car ] to a collection of static models. Scale monster truck drivers tend to do just that.Good luck and just have fun. :tire:

Should use a 27mHz radio. Couldn't find a name for the ebay one (either). Maybe if you take it apart you might find some mfg casting info in hard to see places. |
I know this is an old thread, but if for some chance o/p still has car it's a shinsei 57 chevy made in the late 80s. If it were still available which I doubt, i'd be interested in buying it.
