Subject: Anyone remember this remote control toy?

Written By: judgetommy on 01/11/05 at 10:37 am

This remote control toy came out in the late 70's, I believe.  It was a van; the first year it came out, it was yellow, and then, the second version was black.  The interesting thing about the toy was that it was pretty ancient remote control.  The remote control was actually like a "clicker", and every time you would click it, the van would change direction.  For example, the van would be going straight, and then, when you clicked the control, it would turn left, then another click would make it go straight, and another would make it go right and so fourth.  If anyone remembers what it was called, I would appreciate a reply.  Thanks.

I don't know what it is, but it is funny that it was a van remote control. Vans were so big in the 70's.

I have a feeling I'm not going to find this; it looks like it was around only a few years and wasn't very popular.  Thanks anyway.

The toy you are referring to is the "Max Machine".
