What memories. But tyco has changed their batteries. They dont make those yellow 9.6 battery packs anymore. Now the batteries are smaller. I which if they could remake some of their products for their old timer fans
OMG I can remember getting this for Christmas when I was like 13...That was all me and my brother wanted. 15 mns of run time followed by 6 hours of charge time with the so called quick charger. It was still cool though. I miss those days
@MrMintymadness I don't know if I could part with it, I would like to play with it as a hobby once in a while and your right, it has some nostalgic value to it that makes me want to hold on to it. :)
Brings back memories. i had the black one. i couldnt even outrun it it was so fast. busted it driving it through sand and it got all up in the gears. although mine looked better than the one in the commercials....slimmer...i dunno. my fav toy even years later. would love to buy one again.
You can always look for one on Ebay. Tyco made a lot of cool toys. I was heavily into the HO scale train sets & the slot cars. I had a few radio controlled cars too, but none like the Bandit or the (earlier) Animal.
the only thing I find funny is that it wheelies in the commercial mine when I had it brand new out of the box never did that and really how could it its a brushed motor lol just goes to show you Tyco made a better one for the commercial and then sold the slower ones
Mine could do wheelies at any time. All you have to do is go in reverse first and then jam it into forward and that will put you up on the back bumper every time!
Those puney r/c vehicles now days can't take a beating like the Bandit could. I remember having one, it was Super Fast!

Tyco still exists? I thought they went out of business a while back.

I know this is months later, but are you interested in selling yours?
I would love to have one, just to sit on the shelf for nostalgia's sake.
Happy New Year - 2012!
