That Tyco sprint car is 1/16 scale. It is based on the original Tyco Turbo Hopper chassis. The later turbo hoppers used a 9.6 volt battery. That Sprint cars were made around 1986 - 1987. Tyco turbo hoppers are becoming quite collectable toy rc cars. The sprint car is quite collectable to as it is one of the more rare versions of the Turbo Hopper. They used a 260 mabuchi motor too. Hope this helps. Neat car too!

Actually the Tyco Turbo Outlaw came out in time for xmas of 1988 if I remember right, but I believe it is shown in the 1987 Tyco Toys catalog. The sprint version came out maybe a year later and was black in color with out any 'wings' on it.
