Tyco 9.6v turbo hopper donuts record in 5 mintues!

Man, this is so much fun. I don't know how I never wiped out the camera. I got so close to it at one point. These cars just have such great control. They are very tight, tight like a tiger.

OMG!! My Dad had the same exact one!! We still have it but do not have a controller for it. This is a very sentimental toy and my son never got to meet his Grandpa. So we are trying to find a controller. Can you help us in any way?? We also need to get a 9.6v battery but I think we can get one at Wal-Mart! Thanks for any help you can give us!!!

@Tracelann Ebay should be a good place to find a controller. You just need to find out if the car is 27mhz or 49mhz. There will most likely be a broken tyco car or truck come up on there with a controller that will work for yours. Most of the old tyco controllers will work as long as they are the right mhz. Yeah walmart should have a 9.6v battery and charger if not ebay for that as well. Thanks for watching :)

Matt i have a question.. im in the proccess of buying one of these off of fleabay, do the spot lights unclip or are they not remoovable? this one has non unfortunatly, the guy said they snapped off, i think they spots look great i used to have them on my old hopper when i was a kid, but i cant remember if they unclip or snap off and break, when i get it i wanna put some on somehow. I noticed some of your shelf exhibits have spots, did you put them on or did they come like it? thanks bud

@mikeyd0785 Hi, the spotlights are replaceable. If they are broke off you just have to get the piece down in the square peg that is left out and then put new ones in. Most of mine came with the spotlights but some were missing 1 or 2 so I just took some off others and replaced and still don't have enough so I tried to make them as symetrical looking as possible.

Just put one like this on eBay. Search vintage tyco hopper.

NICE!!!

@matt78tv Thanks so much for the info. We found out ours is a 27 mhz. I did have the controller and it was in mint condition but think it got thrown out by accident, but we will keep searching. Love your game room stuff. My son really enjoys watching your videos. If we ever get our Turbo Hopper working we will post on youtube and let you know!! Thanks again :)
