The Taiyo Honda CRF-450R is a radio controlled dirt bike / motocross bike manufactured by Taiyo Toys (Japan), and released into the Japanese market in 2007. It is one of the final products released by Taiyo before their liquidation at the hands of SEGA who had purchased them only a few years earlier.
Features and Performance
Shipped with a 7.2V Flex Pack battery, an upgrade of the original 6.0V packs that Taiyo R/C cars originally came with. Unfortunately I've not had an opportunity to own/ride this model, however these 7.2V models do run noticeably faster, though not as fast as a typical 9.6V Taiyo R/C, it's plenty enough to have fun and avoid losing control. Most unusual with this model is its 36Mhz radio frequency. What the?
From the back of the box, translated as follows:
