The Tyco Rebound! Repairing and hooning the 90's stunt toy I always wanted
VloĆŸit

- Back in the 90's everyone saw the Tyco Rebound commercial, but were you luck enough to have one? Today I get one from eBay, and then figure out a way to fire it up! This was the coolest toy grade RC car around back in 1995.

Hereâs the cheap imitation I robbed the circuit board from amzn.to/2G2k9EA
In the video we get it working with 2000mah NiMh batteries, which keep it running for about 40 minutes. I've since put a 7.4v LiPo in it, and it runs a lot faster. Either way, this thing is exactly like the commercial!

this won't be the last rc video. i saw in his amazon review history that seth purchased a 1/10 scale rc trailer for a crawler.
Nyc job journalist â„ïž
Where did you see it
Why are you looking at his review history?
Lol what a stalker
@@youtubeviewer9523 I was actually trying to get a trailer for my arsenal of rc crawlers and I saw his review. i clicked on the profile and it was legit.
Duuude such a great choice for a revival! They made some amazing toys in the 90s.
This would be the last place I'd expect to see you, glad to see you here nonetheless.
Angus, I implore you to get one of these, 3D model it and create an "Open Rebound" project. This thing would be even sicker with modern electronics, brushless motors, room for a small integrated action cam (or rather two)
Where would the toy industry be, if tyco never sold out to Mattel? Tyco Co. Made some of the coolest toys of the 90s!
Being a child of the 90's I was lucky enough to have one of these. I have to say it was amazing. On a full charge they are an absolute blast and you can make it do flips on a flat surface just by going flat out forward and then jabbing it in to reverse as hard as you can. If you did this at the top of a step, it crated an awesome flip. On a full charge, driven like a 10 year old would, I think i only got 20 to 30 minutes max, but i can't be 100% certain. Thanks for bringing back many great memories Seth.
My cousin had one. I forgot about the wheelies! Great memory, thanks.
I think it was more like 12 minutes of battery and it took like 6 hours to charge it sucked as a kid waiting lol
We had a few as a kid, 20 minutes about for battery but when Seth said they are hard to break or indestructible, I laughed. We definitely all broke our plastic bodies going off ramps and landing on hard stuff. Was a blast.
@@Justnothankyou132 Yeah, I actually manage to break a gear inside by running into curb at a weird angle. Far from indestructible. Luckily I had a neighbor who was into building RC cars from scratch and he not only fixed the broken gear but also added epoxy to the gears for all the other wheels to reinforce them.
I know that full charge flip well bro
It's crazy how I came upon this video and cried like a baby. My little brother took his own life 2 years this June. We had so much fun as kids and I was trying to recall our favorite remote control cars our dad ever got us. It took me forever to even come close to the name of the r.c This video brought back so many memories and I can't wait to buy one now and do the same thing as you and up the capacity with a compatible PCB board or battery. Thank you for this video. It means so much to me.
Had one of these as a kid. That was without a doubt the best Christmas I've ever had.
How long did the battery run for
@@owenmacwilliams1134 No idea haha. That was 25 years ago
I had the tyco highjacker and python remember these but never had one
I remember having to wait all day for the batteries to charge to play with it for like, maybe, 2 hours. Haha.
My dad had one of these as a kid and he still has it! He told me that he made mini jumps in his yard and used this
This comment made me smile, and feel old at the same time.
Thanks for the age check kid.
Yehhh you just made me feel really old! Haha
I use mine to play with my pit bulls lol
Lmao mine broke like the motor blew out
To all new viewers: he actually does Mountainbike stuff
I thought I recognized him
No he doesn't!
Ik
@@uros8012 He does
He build wood stuff too ;)
This channel is so wholesome. Impossible to have a bad time here.
I think you should make a whole track for this car. Berms, jumps and everything
Tiny jumps would be quicker too
SevenBrick 727 yes please
He should have like a traxxas for that
Yes yes YESSSSSS!!!
Helll yeah
Iâm not sure how old Iâll be when toys like rc cars and planes stop being fun but I know itâs not 41.
Fuck yeah Dave
Hahaha, I love that statement. For your sake, I hope you never figure out that answer, and for my sake, I hope I do the same. đ
I'm 19 and got back into rc cars, its a hobby of mine now next to bmx and drifting BUT MAN OH MAN NOTHING BEATS DRIVING THIS LITTLE RC CAR THROUGH MUD ON A RAINY DAY
hobby-grade RCs are expensive and definitely not for kids.
same here at 41
First thought: this is gonna be kind of lame
1 minute in: damn I remember that thing, kind of cool after all
4 minutes in: looking at eBay to buy my own
đđđ
I actually have one that Iâll be selling soon, if youâre interested.
Seth is like the cool uncle we all wish we had
We all are gonna be that cool uncle we wished we had.
Me: A fully grown man watching another fully grown man play with a RC car....
Love this Tyco RC action man! Shit, I've been so bored, I actually got back into RCâs too. Love the channel! Makes me want to start one. đ
Man, I saw the thumbnail and stopped dead in my tracks
Not any rc car, a rc car made specifically for kids
It's quite nostalgic for those that grew up when they first came out. Regardless of being a kids toy or not, it's cool to see.
Me and you are the same age. And yes I had a remote control car, not like your but just as fun đ€
âHoon the crap out of it.â
*Ken Block intensifies*
i had to rewind because i was like "did he actually just say that?"
@@ericroberts1814 yo same!
i was thinking the same thing
Same :D
Hooning has been a term for driving too fast/recklessly for many decades in Australia. You can even do a "Hoon report" on the police websites.
brother, had this car as a gift from my grandpa at the age of 10-12 I think, and it is still holding up, battery works, everything is just fine. Had so much fun with it in the backyard when we dug up pool, summer house garden was just ran over 24/7 with that. Ohh..what a great time I had. What a great toy for kid. Every kid from neighbrhood wanted to ride it, felt like a king back then rollin on the street with REBOUND :D
Born in the 50âs, why am I watching this?
Oh yah, cause all us mountain bikers will never grow up.
Carry on
70 years old and mountain biking that crazy man
We mountain bikers are young at heart, a moto to live by, never "grow old"
Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
i honestly don't care what seth uploads because its always good, quality, and fun to watch what a legend.
Lol true
i get so much joy watching a grown man have fun with toys they wanted as a kid, its just so wholesome!
My childhood has now been fulfilled by watching this video, 25 yrs later. Good stuff.
Make a mini berm peak for the rc cars. Include jumps, whale tail, rock garden, etc.
Haha yes
And it needs its own trailhead too which could act as the drivers stand
Yas
Its exactly like the comercial. No kid born after 2000 ever said. Kinda sad.
I'm 2001 and i had one of these bad bois back in 2005 lol it was amazing
Actually tho
We had an updated version of almost the same exact thing
we had the updated version
Nah the toys were decent till about 2010-2012 no they are all weird for some reason
I searched but could not find projects that build such a flippable RC car with modern parts and performance. Sounds such on obvious cool thing to do.
I had this exact same Tyco rebound 4X4 when I was a kid this Is one tough RC car mine got ran over by a pickup truck In the middle of the street and It still drove and ran I miss this RC car and it brings back memories and if I had one Iâd still play with it even though Iâm 40
Next channel name change: âSethâs RC Hacksâ
Toy rc*
@@minekid4624 WOW MAN
Brushless motors and some bigger Lipo batteries would be nice.
Yes
Seth tech hacks
Who also wants him to buy a bigger rc car like the traxxas e-revo ,traxxas rustler 4Ă4 vxl, arrma kraton 4s or the XMAXX
Traxxas stampede
He already has one like that, not the rustler, but same type
I couldn't be bothered with traxxas stuff but if u every seen cyconix on CZcams with his home built short course trucks and suspension action
Yeah 1k for a xmaxx and 500 for the mini maxđ€Ł
Mitch Dwyer Seth ainât worried. Iâm sure heâs at least worth a milli
Omg I haven't smiled that much ever when you played the old tyco commercial. I remember that vividly. Best Christmas present I ever received from my mom. Still in the box in my moms basement I think...
This is literally the first thing I saved up for when I was 8 from doing yard work in my neighbor hood. Such a cool throw back
When you realise Seth actually knows what heâs doing but heâs just using words like PCB and fuse just to cover up that he likes playing with 90s toys đ
Haha
Hey Seth, there is someone who has their nameâseths bike hacksâ and they have to original picture, not sure if itâs legal, but just wanted to let you know
like this so he can see guys
Yh and
it's legal. he gave up the name when he changed his channel to berm peak.
Singletrack Forger woosh
its bern peak now my guy
I was a 90's kid too and know what you mean! The good-ol' glory days, when family sitcoms were wholesome, music was still good and kids played outside until dark. Currently swapping the batteries in my Super Rebound flexpak pak I played with as a boy so my 4-year-old son can enjoy this piece of 90's nostalgia as much as I did. Ah the 90's.
I found mine in the attic one year ago.
I just bought a 2400mAh rechargeable battery. Works like a charm. Now my 7 and 4 year old kids are playing with it. It's awesome.
I had that thing as a kid and i used and abused it! so awesome to see one again. I remember just waiting by the charger waiting for it to charge up. I forgot how indestructible the thing was!
I like how he mounted the Tyco on a bike stand
Bored? Watch an adult play with a toy rc car for 8 minutes.
owen hesdon facts
Plus 6 advertisements
Thanks for including toy in there. Hobby RCs are fo adults and kids
My mind works in mysterious ways
You have something there which is almost 30 years of age - with a dust off and a little love it's back to working just as well as it did back then. That's why they don't make 'em like they used too! Class video.. always loved this RC car.
Few years ago I had the flu spend two days on the couch and watched nothing but RC videos So entertaining
Who all missed -
"Today we are going to do something different but kinda the same"
Praful who tf doesnât miss that
Praful me
Seth should make an RC track with mini berms and some jumps
He should build his own RC mountain bike and build a track for it!!
I still have mine. Came across it in my loft today and it still works đ my kids are going to love it đđŒ
I was blessed enough to have one of these! My childhood was đ„đ„đ„
Oscar playing with that RC car is exactly what I needed this morning
I had one of these as a kid. The og battery only lasted like 15 minutes tops.
I believe the battery took 4 hours to charge for a mere 10 minutes of use, if I remember correctly
I had three of these original reboundâs in my life and they were the best! They work awesome on the snow too!
I searched this video because someone asked me the gift I always wanted as a kid but never got. THIS IS IT! I saw all the ads dreaming of having one.... maybe it isn't too late..... :D
Love how he puts it in the repair stand! đ
Soon we're gonna need a "Seth's RC Hacks" channel, or "Berm Peak RC", lol
i second this. this is the first video ive seen on this channel and when he said its not the normal type of video my heart broke
Yep
@@cavemanvi He's done some rock crawling vids...
Taking the car out of the stand gave me the hardest laugh I've had this week.
Oh man. I had one but that was many many years ago. This brought back some good memories. I'm 32 so not much younger. I completely forgot about these things.
The batteries used to last for about 15 mins when they were new.
If that haha.
Not the inevitable AvE collab I was expecting but I'll take it nonetheless.
Now I am expecting an AvE collab hahahahaaha
I showed the commercial to my son. My younger brother had one. Probably the only time in history that a commercial was completely accurate. This is the greatest RC car I've ever played with.
When I first saw your RC car vids, this was actually the first car I thought of.
Still have mine from when I was a kid (doesn't currently work). I remember it took 4 hours to charge the battery and it lasted maybe 10 minutes. Nostalgia is calling and I'm very tempted to get it working again.
Iâm proud to say I had a Rebound back in the day. Somehow, I managed to break the gear drive on one side of it. RIP to my Rebound.
Are you selling the battery. Green charger My grandson car
Imagine the only thing wrong was that the remote control wasnât on
Good luck getting that old radio to work though. This seems like an upgrade over the original.
CalisRemedy he didnt even open the controller
Iosis6 I have Tyco tantrum from 1998 and it still works
Fr đłđ€Ł
probably just some terminal corrosion in the controller. lol
That was my favourite and most memorable rc car from my childhood. Iâm 35 now and into rc cars again with my 6 year old son as an excuse! Bought a few ftx models, great value!
I have to say thank you! I was lucky enough to have one of these when I was growing up. Itâs exactly how you described, endless amounts of stunts and fun. Now I am a father and I am looking to get my kid her first RC car and this was the first thing to come to mind. I am also lucky enough to have a degree in electrical engineering so I will be purchasing a Rebound to fix up and mod to give to my daughter for Christmas. Thank you!
Absolutely had this! I can still remember getting it. I was so hyped! I didn't always get all the cool stuff, but I had this. I remember the battery being about an hr or so? It seemed that the Rebound had longer life than the smaller cars or cheaper trucks, but didn't have anything close to the power and life the big dog RCs had. Love this stuff Seth! Thanks man!
I had one too, but in 2010, it was a knockoff one that kind sorta may have snapped a wheel or two (three actually now that I asked my mom)
Imagine how much fun Seth would have with a state of the art rc car(traxxas e-revo, x maxx !!)
I had the Tyco SuperRebound, basically the same truck but one side rotated. It was super sick, just as much fun as it is to watch you play.
Don't recall the battery time, time worked differently when I was a kid. I was born in 95 so I was a wee lad and had no concept of time.
Thanks for making a video of this, this beautiful piece of nostalgia.
And, for making it super clear that you can revive it with basically no electrical knowledge, just plop in the controls from a cheap knockoff. Love it.
I had this same rc. Blue/red. It waa the best rc I ever owned. It's was so quick and durable, I went everywhere with that thing. Love it!
Wow, I remember how much I wanted that exact RC car as a kid, and how I wished I had that instead of the Radio Shack RC car that burned out as soon as I tried to drive it through some snow. I can't believe you found one in good enough shape to get it back up and running!
I could watch 10 mins of Oscar going into hunter-killer mode with it.
i dont want to watch a single minute of him. he's a pug.
@@primtve_dope9568 French bulldog, buddy...
So... Now that he's not a pug, want to watch him?
All dogs are good dogs why would you not watch dogs?
Dogs are the best!
Fun fact: the Swiss used to use bicycles to tow anti tank guns. Now my question is, in theory, could you ride down berm peak towing an anti tank gun?
The 90s had so much cool toys Thank you for bringing back so much good memories bro đ„Čđ„Čđ„Čđ„Č
whatever seth does is interesting idk why...
Same, I didn't even read the title. New video from Seth? That's bound to be good!
@@Maxime_K-G same heređ
Yeah he could make a video where he cleans up yard waste and Iâd watch it
props seth
Seth is officially the oldest child ever!! đ great video!
My arrma Creighton 6S goes like 16,000 times faster but great video
Nah tony hawk is
Or rc sparks studio lol
Kelton Gines lol ima traxxas fan boy but I do love arrma lol
@@johnnyrocket6588 all trash only real rc racers like HB Racing Team Associated
This is amazing! I used to have one as a kid.
Battery lasted about 15 to 20 mins, and needed to recharge for 4 hours
TOTALLY REMEMBER that ad and never got the chance to own one either.
WOW that's a blast from the past đŸ
Much appreciated entertainment đ
Oh man that dam dog is sooo cute I canât take it!! I was far from a kid when this RC came out but I remember it well and Iâm glad that you are letting your inner kid out and having fun with it!! Just promise that in 20 years you will still be letting your inner kid out itâs great!!
Wait, Americans say âhooningâ now?
I believe you can thank hoonigan for that
Yeah, only for the last decade though.
no we don't please no
No
wait americans dont know what hooning is?
I'm 34 and still have mine. No battery or remote. Need to get it running, been lagging it. Thanks for making me want to get it running asap!
Yeah, 80's baby - 90's kid... Bought one with my allowance, the battery lasted me about thirty minutes or so...super fun RC. Memories bro....man!
This brings back memories. Thank you! the sound of the motors, the sounds of it banging off things, its literally like 1995 again :D :D I don't remember how long it lasted back then, for me it felt like forever, and it was 100% un destructible, I even ran it on snow and in rain hahahaha, I cant believe it was 25 years ago, once I go back home, I need to find it, sure its in a box somewhere.. lol, my current Losi Tenacity Lasernut U4 feels like a actual U4 so far from a toy.
RollCage, but real life and remote-controlled, and does not go upside down on the ceiling
@@cheetocatto01 Actually there is a Redux version of the original Rollcage now
I absolutely LOVED this thing as a kid. Back in the 90's it was so far beyond the other RC options. So much fun
They are not a lot of RC toys that are so unique. This little guy was so fun to play with!!!
I had one and it's actually back in the storage room of my house! I lost the battery charger but other than that it should still run as it appears to be in decent condition. If I recall correctly I could only get a good 15-20 minutes off of the full original battery.
I had one of these growing up. I remember having a ton of fun with it, and I remember it being just like in your video at 6 volts.
I think the battery lasted about 10 minutes? I seem to remember having two batteries for it and they went into an area that unlatches and flips up in the little truck bed.
Yep 10minutes of driving and 4 hours to charge
I wish we had this when we were kids! EVEN BETTER! We have them as adults!
That sucker lasted 2 years winter water! Dang One of the greats lives on! Thank you đ
Gf: âugh i bet hes cheating on me rnâ
Me meanwhile: 5:00
đđđđđ
Yooooo
@Lighting thanks
That brings back memories! I loved my Tyco Rebound when I was a kid. Definitely not scouring eBay for one right now...
I had this 25yrs ago! It was fun hitting tricks in the paved ditch by my house. This was durable. The battery took forever to charge for maybe 3 minutes of flipping fun.... While a smaller buggy I had would go way faster, doing drifts, bigger jumps, or donuts around myself way more fun. Thanks for the video.
At 4:03 when he is playing with the rc car Iâm staring in the background: OOO BUTTERFLY
Did not realize that Seth was 35. He's only a year older than me.
Bruh I thought he was like 45 lmao, he always talking about how old he is
@@jchrizzy6995 That's what I mean. I figured, being that he talks about being old and the amount of gray he's got that he was in his mid-40s, and now I'm jealous. Grey hair on dudes looks regal and distinguished, and I'm cursed with like, strawberry blonde hair and a grandfather who passed away at 91 with a full head of naturally dark hair.
85!
He looks older
And his wife is 29
First: makimg bike trails
Second: making rc car trail
Third: making jeep 4x4 trails
Fourth: making plane trails. Lol

You forgot about boats bro
@@navy1402 after plane trails, 15mill yacht trails
Next RC rockets :)
Flynth lol
I had one of those. Battery charge time was like 4 hours battery run time was 15ish minutes. Was awesome running it in a gravel parking lot and making wooden ramps.
I had one of these and my brother had a Tyco Vertigo which was a lot like the 2020 R/C you got to restore the Rebound. Both were a blast growing up. I had so much fun with those. My rebound even blew out a capacitor and I remember my dad helping me fix it. So much fun back then. Wish I knew where they were now.
Hey Seth I'm your biggest fan... Me and my friends build a track because U inspire me to ride everyday and build trails everyday.
Video Idea: Tyco Rebound vs modern hobby grade rc vehicles or offroaders
I had one second hand, loved that thing. It was like a rc car for people that wanted max fun
Dude this is AWESOME!!! Miss the old days
Petition for seth to change his main chanel back to "seths bike hacks"
nah i like it
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is a cool idea juste "like this segway to our sponsor"
No he literally just changed it to what he wants.

Seth I wish they still made stuff like this.

being a mountbiker and from time to time play with all kinds of RC Toys (cars and fpv racecopters) I feel like i found a soulmate in seth đ
This brings back memories! I used to have one of these things! I used to take it off the biggest drops and I could never get it to break! It was alot of fun!
Next video: I am officially quitting mountain biking and being a professional rc car driver
đ
Yea i kinda wanna see more of mtb
@@Scaditzavibe Agree
RCs suddenly spiked in popularity right around the time lockdown started. So I'm not surprised to see Seth getting into it too. Although NOW I finally understand why CZcams suggested this channel to me. It certainly wasn't because I was watching a bunch of bike videos beforehand. My biking hobby is almost completely offline, unlike my RC hobby.
Meanwhile, your dog is like "FINALLY! One of those horrible wheeled monstrosities that's small enough for me to bite!"
I was smiling watching this the whole time đ€Łđ„č
Oh the nostalgia â€
This thing was my childhood. Now I'm here as an adult shopping for an RC Car for my nephew, found this old gem and considering buying one, the old technology (battery Packs) is what's holding me back.
