![]() ![]() ![]() Launched in 1980, Stomper 4X4s by Schaper were aimed at young kids swept up in the off-road craze.Hello, im knightprowl, i am currently making a mod for GTA IV that will be one of the best once completed, do you remember the 80s TV show called 'Knight Rider', with david hasselhoff and his talking car, KITT, well i present to you a WIP mod based on the show, GTA IV Knight Rider Mod, now my mod will be very similar to the GTA Knight Rider mod for SA, but my mod will be includng all that it doesnt have and probably never will, so common and join in, i need all the help i can get to finish this mod or atleast whats possible in GTA IV to give the fans something they will enjoy for months and years to come, also, i need help with this mod, as my skills for scriping games and stuff are limited, i need a person or people to join in who have the free time and the will to help me finish this mod, the help needed is for someone whos good with C++. Powered by a single AA battery, these little trucks cost about $10 new and had a four-wheel drive system that turned squishy paddle tires, one set for inside and one set for the outdoors. Stompers produced cool models including Subaru Brats, Dodge Power Wagons, Jeep Honcho pickup trucks and even larger Peterbilt and Kenworth trucks. The bodies of these toys were highly detailed and true to the real machines, which added to the fun. Kids played with them outside in the dirt just to see how capable they were. ![]() The bodywork got scratches the clips that held them on the chassis could break. So Stompers on Ebay are listed with a Buy-It-Now price anywhere from $10 up to about $100 depending on rarity and condition. ![]() The aforementioned big rig models seem to be some of the most valuable. Unopened models still sealed in cellophane command several hundred dollars. Slot car racing tracks were hugely popular in the 1960s and 1970s. Big ones occupied major real estate inside hobby shops, but it was the smaller size 1:64 scale slot cars and the tracks they ran on that provided years of fun for car-crazed kids at home. These sets, made primarily by Aurora A/FX (Aurora Factory Experimental) and Tyco, used plastic track with two metal wire rails running along the surface (one for power and one for ground). The small cars have electrical contacts that maintain a connection with the track's rails. The car's speed was modulated by a hand-held controller squeeze that trigger too much when your AFX car approached a curve and it could fly right off the track, something nearly all of us did for fun at one point. In the mid 1970s, an entire AFX slot car set, complete with two or more cars cost less than $40. Today, many of the cars themselves cost that much if the bodies are in good condition. Rare models,can command more than $100, while whole track sets can reach close to $300. One particular '57 Chevy Nomad-bodied AFX car in its original packaging had a Buy-It-Now price of almost $850 on Ebay.įrom 1982 to 1986, car-loving kids around the country were treated to the TV show Knight Rider on Friday nights. It featured a computerized, semi-autonomous, crime-fighting and talking Trans Am known as KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand). The premise sounds ridiculous today, but that all-new Trans Am was freshly styled for the 1980s-just like its co-star, The Hoff. The show was a huge hit and toys flooded the market. One of the coolest was the Voice Car by Kenner. Push down on the cool vintage blue California license plate and the Voice Car would say six different phrases. It came with a Michael Knight action figure, too. Knight Rider toys in general seem to be very collectible.The Voice Car in okay to fair condition, with some scratches on the exterior, will show up on Ebay with Buy-It-Now prices in the $50 to $60 range. Cars that are complete with the box in good shape with minimal scratches are listed at closer to $90. Sealed in the box they can cost hundreds we saw listed at close to $900. Motorcycle stunt riding belonged to Evel Knievel in the 1970s. ![]()
