The fastest tyco ever made was in this order

1 2nd gen twin turbo 17+

2 1st gen twin turbo 16

3 hopper/blaster 15-16

4 eliminator then bandit 15

The twin turbo hoppers were basically the same as a 4wd turbo racing pickup and never were able to do 19mph

now is that the 4x4 hopper compared to the 4x4 trucks or is it the twin aero hopper compared to the 4x4 trucks.


i kinda figured the hopper/blasters and bandits were pretty much the same speed

People have tried to guess the speeds on these for years but ive owned every single one of them and have raced most together at some point. Speeds I have are not only drawn from research but using an accurate radar

now the speeds i got were strait from taiyo so they probably rated them higher than they were, and the twin hopper is way faster than the 4x4 bandit. this one is the one we mean. not the twin 4wd hopper

The twin turbo hopper has hotter motors and a much better speed control to give the extra output

To make it easier heres what runs on the same chassis and motor

1  17mph+
2nd gen twin turbo lambo

2 16mph
twin turbo lambo 89
twin turbo 348
twin turbo f40
twin turbo 348
twin turbo dominos indy car

3 16mph
 bigger motor
wild thing hopper
hopper shocker
blaster
eliminator

4 16mph
twin turbo hopper

5 15mph
bandit
heads up hopper

4 - 14mph+ very similar driveline to twin turbo hopper
4wd turbo racing pickup
super turbo 4wd hopper

i couldnt tell any difference in motor sizes between the bandit/eliminator, i thought the speed increase was from gearing and extra power to the motor in the eliminator. ive used either one in both eliminators and bandits



i have a blaster coming but aside from that ive never had any of the others except a parts twin aero hopper

the can was the same on the eliminator but the bandit was made in 1991 then in 1993 when the eliminater came out they gave it a hotter motor, hences why on the box it said, "Tycos fastest truck ever!" in a orange tag

ahh, i c. yes i think it said 25% faster


still but the eliminater had to put more power out to the hotter motor too, because i put an eliminator rear diff with eliminator motor on a bandit and it didnt have near the get up as eith one of the bandits or eliminators i had that were untouched, must a been a combination of better motor and power

yeah running the wrong speed control can actually slow it down and if somewhere in it you didnt make a good connection or used too much solder on the wires it would slow it down a ton

so, a bandit rear gear diff lower gears than eliminator, along with eliminator motor and speed control should make for a faster than original bandit? with more wheelie power than either bandit or eliminator
