MODEL REVIEW

The Tyco Pennzoil #30 Stock Car was a radio controlled stock car, officially licensed from Pennzoil, and released into the US, UK, and other countries worldwide in 1992.

While NASCAR was always popular in the United States, it saw heightened popularity worldwide following the 1990 film 'Days of Thunder' starring Tom Cruze.

Tyco would capitalize this, releasing not only an official Days of Thunder Mello Yellow Chevy Lumina, but various other Stock Cars.

Based on a real race car

The Tyco Pennzoil Stock Car was officially licensed and based on the actual Winston Cup race car driven by Michael Waltrip in eight races from 1989 through 1991.

Features and Performance

Aimed at children and adult stock car fans alike, it's a simple, easy to control R/C running on 4xAA batteries. As a result it's not fast, but it's plenty of fun.

As the yellow 27Mhz car of a pair, it shipped alongside its companion car, the blue 49Mhz STP Stocker, allowing friends or siblings to have a car each to race.

Availability and Collectability

As a radio control car alone, it's nothing flash, but as a part of history and a collectors item for both R/C and Stock Car fans, the Tyco Pennzoil Stock Car is hard to beat.

If you'd like even more detail in an even fancier package, I'd recommend the Tyco Mattel Kyle Petty which came out a few years later.
