Lets take a stroll down memory lane! These were really old tyco cars...well like 10 years ago old. prospeed was a race car u see on nascar and hijacker was a car that was in the form of a lambargini(sp) that popped its hood up too make it seem bigger...anyone remember now???
I had both these cars and saddly they broke...but it was funny when they were about to brake, they both lost their brakes and instead of breaking, it was like turbo and they went 35mph!(which is fast for a tyco) i just wanted to know if like anyone remembers these 2 cars...and maybe know where to get them...i would really like to get new ones...they reminded me of my youth![8D]

plus i know 35mph cause a police man down the street need to test his radar gun on something so i said "Test this car" and he had an average of 35mph. [X(]

I had the larger size of the Hi-Jacker when I was 10 or so. I think there was a 1/10 and a 1/12 scale model. Yes, they did have some serious go for a Tyco. That Turbo mode was hell on the battery. I used to actually keep off of the turbo so I could drive it longer. My HJ had broken the mechanism that allowed the body to be in a lower position. It was like an early Eclipse with rally tires. I think they were all black with reflective windows, red and green pin striping and a funky colored chassis assembly. Remember the TV commercials for the "Turbo" Tyco R/C's? Funny stuff.

Yah the hijacker was awesome. My buddy threw a wet soaked heavy newspaper at it because my car was faster then his and BAM it tore the body right off and i couldn't get it back on to save my life, not even JB weld could keep it on ![Frown](images/smilies/frown.gif)
Needles to say i had to hurt him a little for that!
So come on, does anyone know where to get one?
