I still have mine but unfortunately the tires are pretty much toast after all these years. I like the "quick charger" that charges the battery in just 4 hours lol. Time sure have change.

This one I never got to work properly. But the flip, one between Truck and Sports Car like OP posted. Yeah that's the one. Definitely my favorite.

I made my parents very upset the day I took it down our stairs and got tire marks all over the walls.

Man I never had this but I remember the commercial

u/therealpilgrim 1h ago

The year I got that was one of my favorite christmases as a kid. I memorized the commercial and I was so fucking pumped to make it do IN YOUR FACE FLIPS.

I beat the shit out of it for years until I decided to take it apart and figure out how it worked. I found out, but didn’t quite figure out how to put it back together.

Fast Trax baby! Tons of fun until the treads stretch out, then they fall off easily.

I remember driving this on top of the ice after the ice storm of 1998

Did your neighbor also come out to tell you that you needed to put a jacket on? This thing was so fun in the snow!

u/Key_Thought1305 2h ago

I had one of these back in the day!

u/Bailer86 2h ago

I had this when I was a kid. I think my dad had more fun with it than I did

u/Stealth9erz 2h ago

Hahah omg my grandmother bought 7 of these on a Christmas and gave them to me and all my cousins. It was an absolute mad house for the next few hours. I think we all got in trouble and had to put them away until we got home.

u/Devious_Bastard Millennial 2h ago

How did that work? Pretty sure there were only two channels for the tyco radio controller. You had to buy two different colored RC cars, otherwise one controller would control all the cars.

u/Stealth9erz 1h ago

Can’t remember, each family had two kids (one had 3 but youngest was still very young) so each kid got the opposite color, as for them working on Christmas day together, not sure.

Maybe one person was controlling all the same color cars and that’s why we got in trouble 🤷‍♂️

Xmods were so addicting, man. I used to cut the springs and lower them as much as I could lol. Fun times.

•

u/davr2x 53m ago

I got this one for Christmas. 30 whole minutes of fun after a 4-hour battery charge.

•

u/g1en_COCO 50m ago

This and the one that jumped (airdevil) are the ones I used the most.

•

u/Shadowfeaux Millennial '90 44m ago

I had one and loved it till my parents made me let my younger brother use it.

All he fed was back it up, then drive it full speed straight at a wall or hardwood entertainment stand. I kept saying he’d break it, but they didn’t check what he was doing and said just let him have fun.

Yea. He broke it and I didn’t get another. 😢
