One of the greatest RC models ever created, the Fast Traxx!
The Tyco Collectors site has written articles for each and every one of them released by Tyco Toys and Taiyo Toys. On Christmas mornings and birthdays, kids across the world woke up to the coolest thing they’d ever seen, from the USA to Japan, Italy to Australia, Greece to Mexico, it was something we can all relate to, and the nostalgia that comes with it.
Personally I own every model except the Super Fast Traxx, as frankly I’m not a millionaire, but whether you own all, some, or none, you can enjoy them here at TycoCollectors, and I hope it brings you back some good memories and nostalgia.
But first up, let’s get into the mood… it’s 1991… you’re sitting home after school munching chips and suddenly… it’s a new Tyco Commercial!
AI Restoration of the Tyco Fast Traxx TV commercial
You probably saw this as a kid right? Me too. But after 30 years sitting as a VHS tape in someone’s garage, they’re not looking so crash hot. That’s why I’ve restored this old commercial using the latest in AI video enhancement technology to clean up the image and sound. Check it out!
And when you’re done with that… here they are…
Every Tyco Fast Traxx model ever released…
If you know of one I’ve missed, leave a comment at the bottom!
1990 Taiyo Fast Traxx
Before it came to the USA, the Fast Traxx was released by Taiyo in Japan, who manufactured almost all the Tyco RC models.
1992 Tyco Fast Traxx Pickup
Is this cool, or is this freak’in cool! The Fast Traxx Pickup is my personal favorite Fast Traxx RC, a combination of the Tyco Bandit body, and a ‘Traxx!
1992 Tyco Super Fast Traxx
An incredible 1/10 model that was as close to Hobby Grade as Tyco / Taiyo ever got, with a massive motor and hobby-grade 7.2V battery.
1990 Taiyo Mini Traxx
A miniature version of the Fast Traxx RC, and probably the best ‘Mini’ RC Car that Tyco / Taiyo ever released.
1992 Tyco Half Traxx
Available in two eye-catching colors, the Half Traxx was a cross between the Turbo Blaster and the Fast Traxx RC.
1991 Taiyo Fast Traxx Eliminator
Another collector’s favorite, this Fast Traxx RC model is built with a Tyco Eliminator body.
1996 Tyco RC Monster Traxx
One of the last Fast Traxx RC models released, the Monster Traxx is a transforming stunt vehicle that’s unlike anything else.
1991 Taiyo Half Traxx
The rare Tyco Half Traxx in White, also available as a regular Fast Traxx RC in White. Only available in Japan, and something we don’t see very often
1993 Tyco Mini Traxx Pickup
We weren’t ever sure this was real when we first found it. The Mini Traxx Pickup is rare, and so so cool.
1991 Taiyo Super Fast Traxx
We’ve not yet written an article for this one, though it’s largely the same as its Tyco twin.
1996 Fast Traxx
Re-released by Tyco a year before their purchase by Mattel, it’s almost identical to the original yet it was made in Tyco’s new (at the time) factory in China.
1995 Maxx Traxx
While it’s not a 9.6V Turbo (just 6.0V Jet Turbo), I have to admit the Maxx Traxx is pretty darn sick, and I’d not say no to one!
Fast Traxx Super Fast Pull Back Motor
Did you ever see these? In toy stores for a short time in the ’90s, these mechanical pull-back miniature Tyco RC models are so freak’in cool!
2000’s The Fast Traxx
Shortly before the demise of this once great company, they re-issued the Fast Traxx RC with several minor improvements. It’s rare, but it’s out there!
Did you know that Nikko made a competing product?
Well, several actually!
If you read this far, we have something extra to share…
Here is the Fast Traxx TV Commercial from Italy – for unknown reasons they went with a completely different look, and it’s pretty cool! Check it out!
