Best, worst $10 spent! LOL! I think we all had some that were help together with everything we could come up with and a lot of hopes and prayers!! I know my heads up turbo hopper was mostly dental floss and super glue by the end of its days!! I am very impressed that you still have it and you were able to get it up and running once again! Looking forward to seeing bandit #2!
AHaha! Very true! Honestly I thought about tossing the chassis a few times but now I am glad I didn't!
Great story.. I remember meeting up to run our tyco's and grasshoppers good times. Thanks for sharing.. Enjoyed..👍
So do I! The only sad thing was only 2 could run at a time....
@@AMPROEngineering Right, between radio signal and batteries never seemed to have more then a couple going but everyone had the tyco's rippin..
🇮🇪 very good video sharing and such a beautiful truck 🛻
Well thank you very much!
Awesome Bandit I wish I still had my tyco Hammer never had the Bandit but wanted it
It is an awesome truck for sure. So is the hammer!
Extra points on the body. I also keep my first "full" function RC's body shell (a small nikko hilux)pretty much as I last modified it as a kid.
That is the way to do it. There are lots of mint ones, its better to have yours full of history.
Same story with me. 😂 had a friend who's parents were better off. So my friend had every new famous toys of that Era and I finally was able to gather enough of my toys up for him to trade me. That and he wanted the heads up Turbo Hopper so his parents bought him that so he traded me and I got the Bandit. And stick to this day I love those Nissan HardBody 1:1 trucks
Haha! Nice! Same here, I love the D21 as a result of the Bandit!
My family could only afford the “turn in reverse” cars that were wired to the transmitter. I never had a “real” rc car until the early 2000’s when I was in college.
Things were a lot more expensive before China really got their stride.
I remember that generation of RC. Here in Australia we got practically everything you are showing or referring to. I remember not having one of these, but I had a Jet Hopper, and a tank like vehicle with a kind of spaceship like body. That I cant remember name of, whether it was a Tyco product or not.
I know the one you mean. I think that was the car that came after the Nikko Turbo Panther. Same chassis but with a crazy aero body!
I love it!! I’ve got a mini bandit. I’ve always wanted one of these
I adore them, that's for sure. The mini bandit is adorable and I love that body.
Great story, Alberto! Love the patina and history of this car. And I loooove those rims with the worn tires. Please keep them 😀👍🏻
Oh they are staying!
Beautiful
Thank you!
This makes me wish I'd saved all the heads up turbo hoppers, Fasttraxx, Typhoons, and Bandits i had over the years but also makes me really glad i didn't. We had a Christmas tree farm and I'd cut trees like a mad man and save my tips all season to buy RC cars. Sadly they were pretty much disposable back then. I didn't know how to get parts if it was possible and usually it was the same parts breaking so spares from old ones rarely worked.
All those companies made it hard to get parts. Years ago I had a parts list for them that you could order from Tyco. I have zero clue how I got it but it was intended to be a mail away thing where you select the parts you want, mail it off with a check and then they mail the parts back, Hassle.
Very cool love it
Thank you!
I'm sitting here watching your video, cleaning up a 1990 Baja Bandit I got from the US, no doubt with similar history to yours. Great cars, flawed, but great. The 4WD Racing Pickup was the better car, but failed as it was too expensive. And yes please do a video on how to pull the trans apart, I've a couple here that may need it! Keep up the great Tyco content :)
I talk about that on episode 189. They come apart easy but to put them back together is another thing entirely. You need to press the hex back on the axle BUT the diff can easily get crushed when you do that. I think they were heated at the factory to make them expand so they were easily pushed on. I have a plan to fix all that coming soon!
@@AMPROEngineering Great, looking forward to it!
Thats way cool!
Thank you!
My 4WD Super Turbo is waiting for me in the basement. It’s getting a pair of brushless motors 😈
Be careful, the transmissions are all so weak. It is a shame.
Make it a crawler!
I have a body for a WPL based project soon!
i need that shock mount, one of my mounts on the body broke off.
I never posted the stupid video! It is up now but I will make a vid soon.

Cool video but I do need to know more about those two tiny Bandits?
Oh those are just the Tyco slot cars they sold. The track was unreal.
@AMPROEngineering Thank you!might have to see if can find some from somewhere! 😁👍
I mowed so many yards to buy that truck for 69$ in 4th grade
Damn aint that the truth....
Are you 3D printing the gears yet ?
The issue isn't the gear, its how to install it. I have the design but as of yet i haven't been able to take the axle apart successfully for both versions
I thought that the alfa said BEANS on the hood and am now very disappointed after realizing it says "jeans".
Beans would have been much more interesting.
This makes me want to fix up my hornet😔 The body is long gone, motor's toast, rear body mounts are sheared off, but everything else is in good shape. The way I see it, if you didn't give up on your rc, neither should I🫡💪🗣
Agreed! You can get all the replacement parts cheap!
@AMPROEngineering Little update. I'm making a new body out of sheet metal and I got a Sport Tuned motor on the way🫡🔥💯
