That Tyco sprint car is 1/16 scale. It is based on the original Tyco Turbo Hopper chassis. The later turbo hoppers used a 9.6 volt battery. That Sprint cars were made around 1986 - 1987. Tyco turbo hoppers are becoming quite collectable toy rc cars. The sprint car is quite collectable to as it is one of the more rare versions of the Turbo Hopper. They used a 260 mabuchi motor too. Hope this helps. Neat car too!
