History

The Taiyo Jet Fighter is a 2WD off road racing buggy featuring “Turbo” and was released in 1987. It was released after the Jet Hopper of 1986, and was the next buggy in Taiyo’s series of 1980s off-road racers. The Jet Fighter is a little more sophisticated, with a top speed of 27km/h. Much like the other early Taiyo “black box” series buggies, it’s looks were inspired by real size racing buggies (not to mention some of the Tamiya models of the day) and it features many real sponsor decals. Featuring a two-speed gear box, and oval block style tyres, the Jet Fighter was a blast to drive. Together with it’s 4WD sibling the Jet Racer 4WD, the Jet Fighter represented the peak of Taiyo’s classic buggy range of 1987.
