MODEL REVIEW

The Tyco Target Championship is a radio controlled model, manufactured by Taiyo of Japan, and released as an exclusive model by Target in the USA.

One of three exclusive Tyco releases at Target, all based on the 1998 Target Reynard IndyCar World Series cars, including:

1998 Target IndyCar — The real 1998 Target Indy Car

Features and Performance

While the Target Indycar was a relatively low cost vehicle, Tyco ensured that it lived up to the IndyCar brand with solid performance.

IndyCar body excluside to target, with official sponsor decals
Powered by 9.6V Tyco Battery Pack
IndyCar style Rubber Slick Tires
'Pod' type Bi-Directional Rear Suspension
Rigid Front-End

Given the 9.6V Battery Pack, we'd expect the powertrain to be connected to the Taiyo standard Mabuchi RE-280 motor, however this requires confirmation.
