Restoring and Upgrading your vintage Taiyo/Tyco RC cars: Conversion to Real RC electronics - Paperback

by Chak Tin Yu (Author), Rcpress Hobbypress (Author)

This book is all about Toy Grade RC car restoration and conversion to "real RC". Remember the 80s where we had Taiyo, Nikko and Bandai producing RC buggies giving us endless hours of fun and enjoyment? After 30+ years these RC cars are seriously aged. For them to run again a lot of things have to be fixed. And the electronics are likely dead already so you may as well turn them into real RC by using real RC car electronics on them. We show you how these can be accomplished using real life examples. In this book, several Taiyo (aka Tyco) cars including the 1:12 Jet Fighter and JetHopper are converted to "real RC" step by step.
