History
The Taiyo Aero Jet Hopper was Taiyo’s “Aero” styled evolution of the Jet Hopper, and was released in 1987. It was branded both Tyco and Taiyo in the USA, Metro and Taiyo in Australia, Dickie and Taiyo in Europe, and just plain Taiyo elsewhere. Continuing the immense success of the Jet Hopper, this model used the same platform as the Jet Hopper Mk3 variant, thus it had low-profile block pattern tyres and a top speed of 27Km/H. With two gear speeds, responsive steering and solid suspension, and a more aerodynamic shape it was a fantastic evolution to the Jet Hopper line at a time in the late 1980s when the whole R/C toy industry was moving toward sleeker, more futuristic designs.
