Features and Performance
The Indy Turbos feature:
Full 8xAA Batteries providing 9.6 volts (the same as the '9.6v Turbo Packs)
Estimated top speed of at least 25km/h (16mph)
Two speed gearbox (Slow / Fast)
Slick rubber tires with chrome wheels
Independent front suspension
LED light on car and controller*
In the 80s LED technology was still in its infancy, and so a toy with LED lights would be considered a feature, unlike today where they're everywhere and on everything.
Model 2415-49 Tyco Indy Turbo Dominos car
Recommendation
The Indy Turbo Dominos is an excellent model, and fun R/C to drive. Just be wary of the slick tires which often degrade - becoming soft and falling apart over time, either due to UV exposure or other means. Tires should be firm and spring back immediately, not soft and spongy. If unable to touch, ask the seller how the tires feel.
