Nice!
Love those old TYCO stockers!

They have the original foam tires. I put some RC tire dressing on them and they came back fine. It was a friends set from when he was a kid. He got tired of moving it around his basement. It's all there even the original box.

WOW like those old Tyco's :text-goodpost:
I cut my teeth on HO.Cars :scared-eek: :scared-eek:
If you can believe my friends, :violin: they say there to darn fast to drive. :laughing-rolling:
:angry-tappingfoot: You better get some guard rails up around those corners, :auto-driving: :auto-checkeredflag: :auto-driving:
HO Cars don't take kindly for the long drop to the hard floor. :violence-smack:

Those two TYCO cars look to be pretty clean, and are worth a few bucks, especially as a pair. Be careful with the R/C tire dressing on the plastic track. Some of them will have a chemical reaction and start making a mess in spots, and you definitely don't want it to get into the motor. A pair of slip on type silicone tires will last forever, and you'll have no worries about your track surface. Yeah, get some T-Jets... original Aurora ones if you can. If you decide to make a larger or multi lane HO circuit, I would save your original TYCO stuff and buy one of the new AFX sets. Even if you don't want the newer Mega-G+ cars (they do run VERY smooth), you can always sell them and recoup a large part of your investment. The AFX track system has the most options available for different track sections and accessories, a good switchable 8/12/22 volt power supply, and some nice 120 ohm controllers to tame those T-Jets when running on the full 22 volts.

Whatever you decide to do, welcome back to the HO racing world, and... be sure to have FUN! -- Ernie :>)

*** I see in the background you've still got the original Richard Petty Racing box from the set. Cool! -- E :>)
