The Tyco 9.6V Twin Turbo Valvoline is an IndyCar inspired remote control car released in 1990 by Tyco in the USA, Metro in Australia, and other countries worldwide.
Features and Performance
With Twin Turbo (dual motor) speed, the best on-road chassis Taiyo / Tyco ever made (shared with the Twin Turbo Lamborghini, Ferrari 348, and Marlboro Indy), excellent build quality, and lasting good looks, this is one beautiful, fast, and highly sought after model!

This Twin Turbo Valvoline is perhaps only topped by the Marlboro IndyCar, though it depends on your personal tastes, with the paint job on the Valvoline clearly better quality, however the striking red on the Marlboro does also look great, so long as you don't look too closely!

Recommendation
The Valvoline IndyCar is one of those absolute classic Tyco R/C cars, somewhere in or very near the Top 10. They are'nt super rare, but also aren't common, so for a collector these are obtainable and still valuable. If you can find a nice one, go for it!
