Hi, I have a Firefox in excellent condition that I'd be willing to sell. I received it as a gift around 1977 or so. It's in the original box with the manual and warranty card even. Online photos of the car are available. Please contact me at "firefox (at) sgriffin.net" if you are interested. Sean..

If I wanted to buy one, what would I expect to pay for one in excellent condition?

Just a point of interest. I have noticed that there are 2 different body styles of Firefox. One has a T-top and one does not. Also seems that the one with the T-top has one gas can on the back and the regular top has two gas cans. Anyone know if this indicates different years of manufacture? I now have aquired 4 of theese. 2 silver full top. And 2 red, one full top and one T-top. Hope to post pics soon.

Did you noticed that the regular Fire Fox version might be a prototype of the modern Humvee? I've always wanted a Red Fire Fox that I saw in the TV commercials back in the early 1980s. But I never got one. I recalled that they sold for over$50. They were quite expensive. Looking back at that moment in time, I wish that I could grab a few to store away because they are so hard to find. I've been searching for one since 2004. Does anyone have the old Fire Fox commercials, as well as the commercials of the Tyco race car sets from the 1970s to the early 1980s?

I have 2 silver firefoxs...both with the front axel connector broken...does anyone know who/where to get spare parts? any tricks to "fix" its the plastic piece that the metal axel slips into. i guess you could call it a steering arm. Please help.

After months of searching, I can't seem to find the Fire Fox anywhere. They are so hard to find.

I have one that I got for my birthday 1977. It is the red one. It is still in the original box and my parents must of forgot to take the price tag off. I was purchase from Heck's (I believe they are out of business) for $49.99. I put batteries in it yesterday and it still runs like a champ.

I have a 4wd super fox by shinsei radioelecon. is the co. still in business?
Peter - February 15, 2009 - Report this comment
Hi Rick, Shinsei is still in business. However, they are now based in India. They business focus is primary educational pre-school toys. I'll try to provide a link to their website. From what I can tell you, their best days are well behind them. In fact, this is not the same company that was famous for its diecast toys and R/C toys, which are not very difficult to find. Good luck finding the Fire Fox or any other R/C toy that Shinsei has produced.

Well I just bought the silver Firefox on ebay. That is my red one in the pic above. I now have the set! It took 25 years but I finally got what I wanted when I was 15. I will post a pic of them together soon.

I got a black one of these when I was 12. I'd kept in the cupboard all this time and today decided it was about time my kids should play with it. The controller unit needs a little soldering, but otherwise its in pretty good nic. I have the original box too, it was sold in Australia under the Black Buggy. It also has a high and low speed setting.

I remember this toy, my brother stole mine and sold it for some weed. I was heartbroken. This was 1978.

My son just turned 6, so naturally, I started looking for a r/c car. I say naturally because when I was 6 (1977) I got a grey hardtop firefox for Christmas and it was my favorite toy for many many years after that. I literally ran it into the ground. I remember rebuilding it multiple times and was always able to get it back into working order. Eventually it landed in the trash after nearly ten years of trips down the steps and head-on collisions with everything from my best friends firefox (red, t-top, second editon)to my sisters bicycle to a big-wheel from up the road. I played with that thing well into my teens and recall that it outlasted almost every other r/c car that any of my friends growing up had. I cant believe how durable it was. This website has brought back a flood of memories - i would seriously consider buying one if one is fo sale. Thanks for the memories. dougmosle@gmail.com. Thanks mom and dad; best toy a kid could ever have!!
