While 'Mini' trucks rarely pique our interest, a few are more than the sum of their parts. The Mini Hammer is one of them, thanks to its pedigree, and would work best together with a full size in the collection.

MODEL REVIEW

The Tyco Mini Hammer is a radio controlled car manufactured by Taiyo (Japan), and released into the US, UK, and other markets worldwide in 1993.

A smaller version of the popular 9.6v Tyco Hammer, which recently broke a record for the most expensive Tyco R/C ever sold (to our knowledge).

Features and Performance

The Mini Hammer features:

  • Color and styling to match the full size Hammer
  • Mabuchi RS260 Motor (yet to be confirmed visually)
  • Running on 4xAA Batteries (6.0V Alkaline)
  • Two Speed Gearbox (Slow/Fast)
  • Oversized Off-Road Tires

Aimed at a younger audience, the Mini Hammer is has no mechanical suspension, and is best suited to indoor use.

Recommendation

There are few 'Mini' cars that really shine, yet despite it's simple underpinnings the Mini Hammer is an attractive car that would look great next to a full size 9.6v Tyco Hammer in any collection, or step in the right direction while you work to hunt down the elusive 9.6v Turbo.
