This is a box of vintage RC cars from my childhood that I’m going through for the first time in years I forgot I even had some of these #rc #radioshack #tyco
To this day, I have not had a more reliable RC model than the 'Wild Pony' 4X4 monster semi truck from RadioShack. Had a two speed and was able to charge the batteries without taking them out. I ran it EVERY DAY as a kid. For YEARS. Every day. It was like my best friend. I got too bold with water, and that ended it. Was a gift from my grandfather.
Hopefully you held onto it. I’m sure you could retrofit some new electronics or find a parts one. I miss radio shack and their cars they might not have been “hobby grade” but they were definitely part of my childhood and I definitely love them.
eGad, I was 30 years old in 1989. I wish I kept all my RC stuff from the 60s and 70s. I had lots of Cox stuff. I had some Tamiya buggies from the 70s too. All were lost in my many moves around the state of Michigan. Also, I remember I had the Audi Quattro from Radioshack. I think it was 1984-85 when I got that. It was one of those impulse buys when you go into a RadioShack stores. I think I was buying one of their 19 inch color TVs and added the RC to my RadioShack charge card.
@@WingnutsRC I’ve done many here on my channel. Next project on my channel will be a brushless radio shack golden arrow. It’s fun to convert these old cars to Modern electronics..
The one i wanted SO BAD as a kid in the 80s was the Radio Shack Golden Arrow. I begged and begged for it every year but, It was just too expensive for my family at the time. HOWEVER, i knew the power plant! It had an RS54OS motor. Then i looked around for similar RC cars with the same motor and found one in Kmart for half the price. I never got that Golden Arrow but, I did get one that was just as fast. Those were the golden years of RC. Miss those days so much.
Very cool! I have been looking to find one for my office as shelf queen but, ppl want so much for them. Even ones that are just junk. I did find one on eBay that was close to mint but, that thing went for HUGE money. I wouldn't mind having just a roller! @@WingnutsRC
Both of his are in very good condition and as you see, we actually have some NOS parts for them. He also has the boxes which have been stored in the attic so they are in perfect condition as well. When I dig them up I will definitely post a video, so make sure you stay tune to my channel Because they are going to be going up for sale. I know brand new in 1984 they were in the $300 to $400 range which was insane back then you’re talking 40 years ago.
Wow dude! That's crazy u still have a black wolf! That was my very first RC, I actually have pictures my mom took of me playing with it and now I have to find them! Jeez.......that was like 33 years ago, I think I was 7 lol!
When i was knee high to a grasshopper i managed to aquire a tamiya frog non working original. Obviously buying it took all the money so sadly nothing left to fix it :( .Being little in a poor family when star wars first came out and so did the toys was to say the least soul crushing. I spent all my days in the toy store watching star wars and looking at all the toys i couldnt ever have.
I grew up the same way however, I got really lucky my uncle who I lived with growing up, owned a hauling business and there were a couple people that cleaned out their kids toys so I got all the original Star Wars transformers, Masters of the universe and a whole bunch of other really cool 80s toys it was literally boxes of them and I still have most of them to this day
Great historic find from your childhood! I am also rebuilding my old rc car collection great to see someone else addicted to rc toy rebuilding!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I need a golden Golden arrow bumper actually ha ha ha a long time ago driving it on the beach I jumped a big berm and it broke it right off being almost 40 years old
@@WingnutsRChey u have the remote for the 6x6 i will definitely buy it from ya, i have 1 in box never opened & the 6.0v version in box. Those are my favorite Tyco 😉👍🏽💯
I got the Black wolf it's a shelf queen I have a Tyco fugitive and a couple old Keyshishos from eightys an 90s 8 the scale rear wheel dr Block Buster and three 10th scale buggys can't think of the names right away but common keysho gehiclew
@@WingnutsRC I have a couple newer Keyshos and their nice high quality it's dialed in from factory one is a rtr and one is a partial kit , it's a 8th scale on road
I have a no sentimental attachment to that one so it’s totally up for grabs Are you anywhere near Pennsylvania? If you are, I would definitely be down for a trade or cash.
@@Themrbeanshow215 I’ve never been paid in foreign currency before. I’m not quite sure how that works or even shipping internationally. I’m sure it would be expensive, but we can definitely look into it.

I love old radio shack Nikko and Tyco stuff. Great video.
One of my subscribers gave me an idea of doing some videos on converting some of my vintage ones to modern electronics. An RC resto mod.

I have a couple boxes of older RC cars. I did destroy them but for some reason I kept the wreckage.
Built a lot of Frankenstein cars.
I was actually just Frankensteining one together tonight 😂

Sounds good thanks.@@WingnutsRC

Absolutely after all, those are the cars that got us into it. They are the ones to blame!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I love old RC cars. I have a bunch of old RC Cars from Tyco to RadioShack etc… What cars would you sell? And which do you still have?
I believe I have all of the cars in this box, the two RadioShack cars and the Ford truck I would like to keep but the other ones I would sell
I need a golden Golden arrow bumper actually ha ha ha a long time ago driving it on the beach I jumped a big berm and it broke it right off being almost 40 years old
Turbo hoppers were the best.
Well, then, you definitely won’t want to miss my next video. I was actually just sitting here talking about doing one on my turbo hoppers.
@@WingnutsRC man, i remember my buddies would just burn through the tires on those things.

Thank you 🤙🏻
I have the same silver streak Bike really cool Bike
Should swap a brushless motor in the scorcher 6x6 I did in mine was sorta easy an now it really rips donuts
I think I’m gonna try to sell the scorcher and rebound, but if they don’t sell, then both of them may get some upgrades. That’s a great idea.
@@WingnutsRChey u have the remote for the 6x6 i will definitely buy it from ya, i have 1 in box never opened & the 6.0v version in box. Those are my favorite Tyco 😉👍🏽💯
