The 1992 Taiyo Rockie Ace is a 1/14 scale radio controlled car manufactured by Taiyo (Japan).
Very little is known about this car, with only two photos found to evidence its existence. It's a genuine Taiyo however, with its model number 9224 correlating with a car of the same name in my Taiyo records.
Features and Performance
It's a 9.6V Turbo model with some components that are common to Taiyo, but others which I've never seen before.

Of most interest is the Transmitter / Controller which seems to have a key mechanism in the center. I don't recall seeing it on any other Taiyo or Tyco model, however it may have been used in some of the stranger Japanese Taiyo models that never made it overseas.
