History
The Tandy/Radio Shack White Tiger Turbo Buggy was released in 1989, and was custom manufactured for Tandy/Radio Shack by Nikko in Japan. It was Tandy’s third-fastest buggy in their large line-up in 1989 (after the Golden Arrow and Red Arrow), and is a lot of fun to drive – plenty of power and wheelspin from it’s combination of 380 motor and 7.2v battery pack. It’s sleek design was among the most aerodynamic of the buggies that appeared in the late 1980s. It also featured a working differential and 2-speed transmission, and it’s quality was typical of the high standard of Nikko’s Japanese-made R/C models in the 1980s. Originally retailing for AU$129.95 in Australia, the White Tiger is one of the faster ready-to-run off-road buggies of the 1980s and a worthy collectible from a lost era when even the ready-to-run R/C cars on the market were built to last.
