Somehow i think 27kph is quick enough for a 4yo. Anyone got these lying around and want to sell up??

Try the r.c forums, someone will have one for sure. Why do you have your heart set on a jet hopper? They were great in their time, but nowdays, well. You have posted/ bumpd quite a bit on this topic. Its just as easy to try the r.c forums.

Had to get it LOL Goodluck in your search, most of the blokes i know that had jethoppers saw them have untimely deaths under cars and the like... Ush

Fark man that brings back some memories! I had one....it was the first fast (i use the term lightly) RC car I had. A few years later I used my hard earned pocket money to buy a fast traxx. Now they were a hell of a lot of fun back in the day....a jethopper engine for each wheel I used to race an electric TC3 that would do 70kph or so and cost me an arm and a leg to keep up the top of the leaderboard but somehow it still wasn't quite as much fun! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
