R/C anyone?
well, these bring back some good memories when i was a kid. my daughter likes them as well. all these cars were made in the 80's. im looking for parts for my turbo outlaw. if anyone has anything, or knows someone that has something, let me know. i thought for sure there would be a site that i could find replacement parts. no such luck that im aware of. anyone remember the tyco turbo outlaw, and the turbo hopper? lol gotta love the oldies.

The first one, the Radio Shack, that was a copy of one that Nikko made. I had Nikko's version.
The next one was Nikko's version of Tyco's Turbo hopper. I do not recall what it was called. I had that one too.
The Turbo Outlaw I remember a friend owning one. The Turbo Hopper I owned one of those.
I passed up a Turbo Hopper at Goodwill about a week or so ago, was in nice shape but no remote.
Those do bring back memories, I had lots of RC stuff growing up.
I still have a MRC Tamiya Lunchbox, a Blackfoot, a Kyosho Raider, and a Traxxas Hawk packed away. I also have a nitro boat, a sailplane, and a old Chipmunk plane.
I sold my 1/8 Nitro cars last summer.
If i see a Nitro Outlaw anywhere Jay I will try to pick it up for you. I'm one of those guys that most people consider a junk collector, I pack away almost everything. I have been a dealer of antiques and collectibles for several years and hit the thrift stores a few times each week.
I will keep my eyes open for you bro.

I had some kind of nikko RC. It was awesome, till I broke an A-arm from driving it down a set of stairs. Nikko said they didn't have any replacement parts.
I've still got it somewhere.
