Hey all,
Are the tyco rc "canned heat" Cars any good ?
Just ordered one of Ebay last night for a shelf queen type of thing.But was wondering if you could get any faster motor's or gear's for them.I am 99% sure tyco do no parts for them but i heard that a mabushi 180 ( sorry about spelling
) not 100% on that though.
i am going to fit lights, And just lower the shell by filing down the post's,maybe get some decals or a new paint job. so anyone got any comments ( nice one's preferably
)
cheers,
Joe Fullager

I had one, they're ok, for a non-propo car I guess.
I always wished it was faster, I was gonna put a slot car motor in it but never got around to it. The motors are the same dimensions as a xmod motors.
It's dead now. Don't know why I took it apart, but I got bored one day and killed it.

As my distinguished colleague, Mr. Jowlz, has said, I do posess a couple of these... in stock form, they are like big-ass bits... no suspension, magnetic steering, and a 130 can motor powered by 2 AAs, controlled by a simple, dome clone-ish controller... I'm pretty sure that they are about the same as race tins, and as far as I know, Kitsune on Ausmicro is the guy to see for info about modding them...
Me and 219 were bored one night a few months back, and shot some vid of our Tycos... the blue SSR is a newer take on the same chassis, and the red S2K is my OG unmodded canned heat... Follow the link in this link, and on 219s DL page is a vid called "big-ass bits"... that's the one lol... Yup... shreddin' up my kitchen with some stock Tycos lol... good thing we were buzzed...

Oh, yeah... My 2 year old has been using that red S2K to hone her bit driving skills... she's well on her way to being a bit racing prodigy lol...
