History
The Taiyo Heads Up Hopper was a continuation of the famous Jet Hopper line of R/C buggies from Taiyo, this time with a revised chassis (shared with the Jet Hopper II), and the added novelty of a driver figure whose head turns in the direction that the car is headed. With the standard “turbo” feature on the transmitter, but better tyres and other revisions, this buggy could also reach 27km/h. Available in several colours, and sold under Tyco branding in the US where it even had its own TV commercial, the Heads Up Hopper was a popular model in it’s own right.
