This was great. Thank you…. It’s been 55 years for me since I last had a set… and getting back into it!

You did an amazing job with this. Thank you.

Very informative to those new to the hobby. Thanks Dan.

Great video Dan, thanks for sharing!!!!

Great info! Thanks for the video Dan.

Very informative. From my own observations & experience, agree with your views on AFX, Tyco & AutoWorld. I do have several AutoWorld cars, but on race day, they don't see the track! Only began buying some Tyco within the past year or so & have been pleasantly surprised & pleased with their quality, liveries & performance.

Hi Dan, Great review and information 👍. Glad to see your great videos again 👍🏁👍. Keep the videos coming. Have a good one 🏁🏁🏁. Al

Great Video Dan! I've been having great luck with the Bulldog Turbo Chassis as an Xtraction Replacement

Very educational video Dan. Thanks for a great review. Keep up good 👍 work. Thanks man.

Dan, A great review with all the different types of cars. I have most, not sure there is a bad choice amongst them. All have pros and cons. Think you showed that. Fastest doesnt mean funniest to drive. Room for all of this. 👍👍😎🇺🇸

When I was a kid all the moving parts of the Aurora Thunderjet is what was exciting to me. I loved mechanical things, especially all the gears. The simplicity of the Tyco cars at the time was boring to me and I very much disliked the worm drive gears in the early years. If ultimate speed is what excites you, then an inline motored car with magnetic traction assist is what you will enjoy, but they don't have the feel or characteristics of a pancake powered car whether an original Thunderjet or an auto world Xtraction car. I don't have a lot of fun with a car that is so blindingly fast that I can't even see it going around the track. You have to DRIVE a pancake powered car around the track and that is the fun- especially if you have a track timing system.

I just want more pickup truck bodies. 🎉❤🎉

Would have to agree about TYCO , I was fortunate enough to be given a Tyco Lambrougini Championship set back in the 90's just recently set it up ... I purchased some thunder jet Auto World all I would like to say there is no comparison the tyco's I own are smooth and quiet as could be , fast also ... nice video

Great information! Awesome content and keep up the great work! 😎👍🏻

I have half these chassis in my small collection I keep put up. I see there are some nice upgraded options. Also i agree that 440 chasis was a monster. Especially in the late 80's racing my buddies. They hated one of my cars with that chassis. This is a good learning video...thanks

Thx for this information been long time lot of changes 😊

Thanks so Much for this Very Very informative Video for the slot car enthusiast ... Beginners and next level . Quickly my story is the same as many , Had a set as a kid , life flew by , never kept anything from back in the day ... The in the 90's my Wife ends up buying me a Tyco Lambrogini Championship 60 ft set ... never set up the complete set 10 years ago I set up an oval and purchase two tyco Mattel hot wheels two pack the #44 and it came with a truck both nascar. As far as what you said about TYCO I must agree with you I had the two Lambroginis that came with the set then bought the TYCO Mattel ... about three weeks ago I set up the entires track Now I own 15 cars and I can attest to the tyco being smooth and quiet with some pretty good speed .... I will end in saying Thanks again for all your expertise pertaining to slot cars ... see ya Dan. .... oops just noticed I commented 4 days ago apologies lol

i still have one of my 440 x 2 chassis from when my dad bought it new from toys r us in the 90s. Still by far my favorite type of HO chassis

Awesome video! Could you do a video on upgrading controller's for home set's for the newbs out there

I agree too!.. 440 x 2 best ever made,and way less problematic than AFX.

Good review🎉

As a slot car racer for 50+ years I find the magnet technology sad. Everybody wants the cars to go too fast. That is not racing. It is about who can buy the most expensive technology. In my opinion it is not as much fun trying to watch the superfast cars as opposed to the slower truer handling of the slower cars. GO T-JETS

Very nice. Could you do the auto world super lll compared to the “new” super lll? I guess they reworked some how to make it useable. The old ones were let’s say not so very good at all. How can we tell the new from the old and are they better? Thanks🏎🏁

Hi Dan, love your videos. I just subscribed. Question, I bought some older tyco pro cars, 1 afx, just to have but I want to fix them up like tires . Do you or can you suggest tires or parts? I can send you pics if need be. Thank you

Dan as you know I hobby in 1/32 but I'm looking into a 1/64 track just for fun after watching your post seems AFX is definately way to go and I'm familiar with . Question is 2 lane or 4 lane? What's your stance?

Will an older magnatraction chassis work on a newer tracking lok the giant raceway?

Hi, this video is great, and you are right Tyco 440 is the best for me, it was in 1990, and it is now, but… i came back to the hobbie, and i bought 4 aw xtraction cars… and men!, they are mmmm… well sometimes they finish a lap… and i have 2 4 gear, and they were faster than tyco… so i want your help please, and to buy afx mega g+, does it worthy?, or should i buy 4 gear?… but seen your video i think 4 gear is not a option, can you tell me if mega g+ is as fast as tyco? Hahah ot should i buy only tyco 440 and thats it, thank you!

As a kid,I loved super fast g-plus cars. As an adult, there is NO fun watching cars go 1,000mph. It is unrealistic, unbelievable and is more like racing rockets/fighter jets, etc. on a plastic track. NOT fun, not realistic.

I'm really old school on these, But I remember slot cars to where you would go racing on really big tracks , & you could build your own chassis on any 1/24 scale model kit fro AMT MPC Monoghram, Revell: As I recall. This was back in the mid 60's thru the mid 70's. I was not able to afford these, & I recall allot of adults were into this scale of racing, & this circuit of racing. I do have a question about this scale of slot car racing did this scale ever exist? Just curious as my memory is vague on these. & I would hear allot of talk about how well your brushes made contact with the track, & the gearing as well.

Can you put Auto World Xtracion bodies on a Super III Chassis?

Will the auto world bodies fit the 440x2 chassis?
