I loved that hovercraft! I'd buy one they had them in stores still.

Best place to find one is ebay. I have two!!! One owned from new some 20+ years ago, definitely one of my all time favourite RCs.

Nice thread! The Jet Fighter was my first RC car around 1989. I remember racing against my dads Tamiya Thunder Shot. He always won with his 4x4 buggy...

back in 1990 a kid with a Nikko Dictator raced against my optima mid and lost. We laughed. But you cant argue that they were the coolest and most popular and great looking toy grade rc cars.

Taiyo Max Hopper 4WD / Tyco Super Turbo Hopper 4WD vs Taiyo Grabber 4WD

Totally agree, they may not be the fastest but the quality and design from the late 80s and early 90s was the golden age of toy grade rc's. Everything toy-grade produced today is cheap and ugly, no creativity or passion. Its a great shame Taiyo do not exist anymore and Nikko has also gone down the cheap path and no longer produce the quality RCs from 80s and 90s.

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: http://www.instructables.com/id/Radi...ed-Hovercraft/ |

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!
