We had awesome toys growing up, back in the 70s I had Auroras AFX and Mattel Sizzlers and Tyco Curb huggers and Night time racing, Then they came out with Slotless Race sets that seemed to kill everything,TCR was Tycos Total Control Racing and Aurora has Xelarators witj steering wheels on the controllers, if they had kept up the technology it would be very badass today as this is already baddass
I had this track as a kid.The commercial made me want this so bad i bugged and bugged my mom for this.Well they had the construction one not this big but it had the dump trucks and everything.
Oh…my…god. I wanted one of these soooooooo bad for Christmas one year. It was when it got real popular because there were commercials running all the time. Couldn’t find a set anywhere in New York. I literally cried that Xmas. Never got one 😢
bravo! This is a very nice layout and its portable. I have a few boxes of this stuff. I was hoping to make it look like this . That was years ago . Its still in the boxes. Im very impressed by this.
I posted a remark about the Tyco cars & truck sets a couple of years ago. Our family loved them through out the 70s & 80s. This sad update is being made because we had a break-in where ALL of our classic toys, including Tyco, Erector, a significant portion of our American Flyer Trains, and much more was stolen. Who would have thought Tyco sets were a high risk collectibles? There’s no limit to the angst total strangers can dish out!
I have a bunch of this sitting in boxes in my garage, still have the trucks too, probably don't have a lot of the little stations anymore as I believe those got scattered around a bit. I never saw the car carrier one, I have the airport and the log one and one or 2 others, definitely need to pull it all out and set it up some day. This is totally bringing back so many rad memories, thanks for sharing.
This is soooo much fun and creative!Well done!Im here because I recently "disover" an old TYCO Formula 1 track set that I have laying around in my old parents house since my childhood!!!So much memories and I think its time to start building something...!!!!Thanks for this video!
I always wanted these when i was young. Never got it until i was older and bought it for myself. I like the way the scenery is incorporated into it. Very nice setup. I like how you lit up the runway with fiber optics and lit up the roads with street lights. Also your trucks run so smooth! Nice maintenance on them. I was wondering if u can swap out newer slot car motors inside the trucks? Very impressive!
This is great. Especially if you add a ho scale train to interact with the trucks. You could ship cargo on the train and transfer to the trucks or vice versa.
OMG, my mom bought me this back in the mid - or late 80's. It was so much fun. I had the Tyco USA or US1 truck race set. Kids today's will never experience this. Unless there is a cell phone strapped to it, it's boring!
