I have a Mini-Typhoon II and a regular Typhoon I. Do you know where I could pickup a skirt/airbag for the Typhoon I? I bought it with a damaged skirt, but is otherwise working.

I am thinking one day, I may build my own version of this:

I saw replacement skirts for the II on ebay the other day while looking at some older tyco models. Might try there.

I can't remember but one of the Tycos/Nikkos was actually a Tamiya Grasshopper/Hornet. It was yellow. This was a personal score for me as it was free and I was able to wire it to full speed until the battery died. Trying times!

The Typhoon only seemed to work on flat ground.

My first RC car was the Aero Jet Hopper, my brother had the same, many great races in the back yard.

The Typhoon Hovercraft was my first Taiyo/Tyco RC which I still have today and it works!

I've got 2 NIB turbo jet hoppers (a Red&black one, the black one is the second version with the oval block tires), 1 NIB 2wd jet fighter (white) and 1 NIB black mini hopper.
I really like these cars a lot.

Here are some pictures of all the NIB&used cars i had bought in one lot.
Most of the cars have been sold on, earlier i said that i still have a NIB mini hopper but that's incorrect. About 6 months ago i did sold the last one along with one of my 2 jet fighters.
So now i only have the black&red turbo jet hopper and 1 jet fighter.



Back into their boxes

And both jet fighters i once had, but one has been sold.


Hope you all like the pictures.

The Jet Fighter looks a lot like the Tamiya boomerang !
