High speeds, crazy spins, and virtually impossible to control on a racing track, the Taiyo Cyclone aka “Scorcher 6×6” was a “point and blast” experience – just pick a direction and go! And it was another success story for Taiyo at a time when video games were increasingly taking over children’s lives.

As the 1990s began, the Japanese ready-to-run R/C toy company Taiyo sought to maintain the success of it’s buggies and trucks of the mid-late 1980s by releasing a series of increasingly unconventional R/C vehicles that were focused less on backyard racing and more on pure recreation.

The R/C market was pretty saturated at this time, and some other significant manufacturers had even withdrawn from R/C (such as Marui) or sadly closed their doors entirely (such as AYK, Shinsei and Yonezawa). To compound the problem, the market for home video game systems appeared to be growing stronger each year, and it seemed as though kids were increasingly drawn toward digital entertainment, which inevitably meant less time for playing outdoors.

But despite this, Taiyo’s effort to release more unusual and unique R/C vehicles was continuing to pay dividends in the ready-to-run market, even when some of their competitors were seeing the market decline.

In 1990, Taiyo’s high-speed tracked vehicle the Fast Traxx had been a huge hit. And in 1992 they were looking for another new concept that would combine speed and stunt action, but in a fresh package. The result was the Taiyo Cyclone – a vehicle with 6 wheels and similar futuristic looks as the Fast Traxx, that would hit high speeds on most terrain and also perform crazy 360° spins (hence the name “Cyclone”). Taiyo themselves referred to it as an “ingenious product”, and their confidence was to be justified.

In 1993, Tyco added this vehicle to their line of Tyco/Taiyo branded releases in the USA, and they renamed it the “Scorcher 6×6”. It went on to become one of Taiyo’s most successful R/C vehicles. Featured further down on this page is a brand new in box Tyco/Taiyo Scorcher 6×6.

With Tyco’s marketing clout, the Scorcher 6×6 even had it’s own TV commercial to demonstrate the vehicle at it’s wildest (https://youtu.be/Ee6ndhZ7nmk)
