The Dickie Space Hopper is a radio control caterpillar-tracked vehicle initially released as the 1990 Taiyo Fast Traxx in Japan, and the 1991 Tyco Fast Traxx in other areas of the world.

This German version distributed by toy company Dickie is particularly elusive, with not many existing, and so a very limited number of photos available. Special thanks to Dan RC from our Facebook Group for providing these.
For full details of the Fast Traxx, check out one of our main articles on the several variants.

Availability and Collectability
As mentioned earlier, there are very few Dickie Space Hoppers that appear for sale, though this could simply be a regional issue, and if you live in Germany or nearby perhaps they would be easier to access.
In any case, they are certainly valueable to collectors, for their unusual name and rarity alone.
