| Review Comment | If it was your first R/C car in the early 80s, this may hold significant value for you, the same too for a serious vintage R/C collector. |

The Taiyo Auto Wheelie Challenger was one of three ‘Auto Wheelie’ featuring Taiyo R/C vehicles released in 1983, with the others being the Mercedes Benz and Ford Ranger.
The ‘Auto Wheelie’ range will lift up on command, helped by the weight of the batteries right on the rear tray.
See the YouTube video below from Nordic RC Visions of this same Jeep Challenger ‘Auto Wheelie’.
