Taiyo Heads Up Hopper


PraetoR

Recommended Posts

Well, after years of looking, I've FINALLY gotten hold of another of my first ever RC car: The Taiyo (Tyco) Heads Up Hopper! This is a late '80s/early '90s buggy, with selectable fast/slow (high/low) and a drivers' head that turns with the steering.

Probably been looking for a complete example, in this colour, for 6+ years.

 

But, now that I have it... I have no idea what to do with it!

 

I shouldn't modify it, because it's a very rare collectible, in original condition. Although, I could run it on a 2s lipo.

 

It isn't tested, because the original battery is goosed. I'll source one and try it out. After that... who knows?? I mean... it's basically a smaller, budget, Tamiya Grasshopper!

 

Anyway, at least it looks good! :good:
