Small Collection Of Taiyo, RadioShack & Nikko R/C for sale
Quote from Akeme on September 24, 2024, 6:42 amHi, new to the forum, I'm based in the UK, I have small collection of RC cars for sale, I bought them over the last 30 years but my kids are to old for them and they are just collecting dust so I thought I would offer them here first as I was surprised to see there was a dedicated site rather than just on eBay. I have tested them all this week and I'll give you the lowdown on each one:
RadioShack Porsche 962C Twin Turbo 9.6v:
Boxed with manuals, box is in good condition, no rips but is a little worn around the edges.
Body is in good condition, battery tray is excellent. Tested it and found the controller is a little unresponsive although I'm not sure if this is because I tested it inside in a small room in a block of flats. OSR Tyre has gone hard and melty looking, could easily be replaced.
Dickies Turbo Formel 9.6v:
Boxed with no manuals. Box is in decent condition, getting a bit tired on the bottom edges.
Body is in good condition, no damage to it, some of the decals are faded and has a few scratches on the underside. Car & Controller operate perfectly.
Dickies Space Hopper:
Boxed with manuals, box has been taped around the bottom but otherwise decent condition.
Opened it up to find the controller missing, it was used only a year or so ago so I know it works but need to find the controller. Found the controller, works perfectly!
Nikko Blackfox Frame Buggy:
Boxed with manuals, box is in excellent condition.
Buggy and battery compartment are in great condition and car & controller operate perfectly.
Nikko Turbo Panther II:
Boxed with no manuals, box is on decent condition, a little worn around edges.
Car & controller operate perfectly, battery tray is perfect. Overall in good condition
Taiyo Jet Racer:
Boxed with manuals, box is in decent condition, a little worn around bottom edges.
Car & controller operate perfectly, battery tray is perfect. Overall in good condition
Nikko Ferrari Testarossa 1/10th Scale 7.2v
Boxed with manuals, box is in decent condition, a little faded on the top.
Car & controller work perfectly, headlights pop up and illuminate correctly, body and chassis are in good condition.
Nikko Porsche 959 1/10th Scale 7.2v:
Boxed with no manuals, box is in good condition, a little worn around edges.
Car & controller work perfectly, headlights illuminate, body and chassis in used but good condition, comes with 2 sets of wheels, slick tyres and nibbles.
Nikko Black Cat 4WD:
Boxed with manuals, box is in decent condition, a little worn round top edges.
Car & controller work perfectly, body, battery and chassis are in good condition, has interesting twin shaft driven 4x4 drivetrain.
Nikko Road Express 1/25th Scale:
Boxed with manuals, box is in good condition with a little wear around top edges.
Truck operates perfectly including the disengage trailer button and turbo function, in good condition overall and actually still fun to play with.
Nikko Dictator III 4WD:
For spares or repairs, controller won't turn on and front n/s hubis broken. Buggy still works if you swap around the crystals from a working controller from 959 or Testarossa.
I can sell them individually, or looking for around £800 for all of them. Would prefer collection but could arrange shipping for international or UK.

Quote from SquirlyDan on September 25, 2024, 8:19 amI live in the USA and I'm 100% interested in buying the Dickies Space Hopper. Let me know if you would like to sell it individually and what price you want. I like your entire collection and would be interested in buying the whole thing if it wasn't for the shipping! That Road Express.... (now I'm editing my reply) let me know how much you want for the Road Express as well.... Here is a picture of my Nikko Viper that I bought from Malaysia awhile back.
I'm not sure how to communicate since I realized there is no way to send private messages. Admin could you by chance share my email address with him from my account here?

I don't know if you have Facebook but I made a post on the same group as this forum, probably the easiest way to communicate as I can't see how to private message on here either.

Quote from Admin on October 13, 2024, 5:31 pmVery nice collection @akeme ! Porsche is tempting, but I have enough project cars right now haha.
A large portion of Taiyo / Tyco / Nikko cars that used those slick tires faced issues with the "melt", usually like a dry rot. I assume due to the materials used by the supplier I assume. So annoying. Strangely it was always the slicks that had this issue.
