Air Powered Buggy...

Recommended Posts

A work colleague and I were gassing the other day about toys and we remembered having a toy buggy that came with an air powered piston engine. I think it had some sort of compressed air tank on it that was filled with a detachable hand pump. When you set the buggy off, you opened a valve to let the air into the engine and it drove along. Can anyone remeber what it was and better still anyone have any pics...?

In the US they were called air jammers. I have see them at flea markets for under $20. Here is a link to one.

Currently I have a car called the air hog. It will run the length of my drive way and is fairly fast.

My favorite air toy was the red plastic rockets you put water into. instead of shooting them up in the sky we would shoot them at each other.

Have a 2nd generation one "jammer", it had a Honda City shell around it on a shorter wheelbase.

yeah you pump it up and it runs for about 10 secs.

Runs a bit longer if you pumped it with some liquified gas instead [:D].

Cool, thanks for all the replies guys. I think mine was a TOMY branded Air Jammer like DJTheo's.
