Subject: This one's driving me crazy: Please name this toy!

Written By: ried on 09/29/03 at 09:24 p.m.

Hi all,

I've been trying to find out more information about a toy from the late 70's or early 80's. It was a toy car/tank that had a 10-key keypad on top, where the user would input instructions for the toy using it. I found a really good description on this board's archive here:
http://inthe00s.com/archive/inthe80s/bbs13/webBBS_13034.shtml

And the site has a brief description of it here: http://www.inthe80s.com/toys/traxx0.shtml

But the names "Traxx" and "Big Trax" described in those links seem to be inaccurate - I can't find any further info at all about either of those two! It's driving me nuts!

Can anybody help me track this down? What was that toy really called? Do you know where I can find any more info at all about it?

Any help would be most appreciated, thanks!

(My first post here :) )

Nevermind, it's the Milton Bradley Big Trak:
