Nice piece of Aurora history. So cool you still have the Auto World order form.

Christmas for 1972 I got two of them and still have them

Very, very fun to see! I have one as I may have mentioned but it's incomplete and has been since I acquired it in the 80's at some point. The weights and body are all missing, and someone had clipped most of the rear body posts off the top plate so a normal AFX body fits it. The rear axle is also aftermarket with lock nuts I believe, so it had more standard tires which are now just dried on relics as it sits. I do remember how nicely it always responded due to the advanced timing on the armature. I would like to find weights and body for it at some point just for the fun of it. The box I've seen before, but never the tool set! Or the AW receipt, wow. That's surely added value. You need that shelf one, and a runner for sure.

They were definitely marked on the back outside ( left back when viewed from the back. ( Red 1788-880, Yellow 1788-881) great collectors car to have!! Nice looking one, too.

I had both back in the day. Lost all of it over the years.

I always wanted one as a kid but three weeks allowance bought a lot of other hop-up parts, including those magnets and armature. Fun times! How are the front wheels held on? Press fit?

"Who do they think is going to spend that kind of money for an H.O. Slotcar?" I muttered as I walked out of the hobby shop empty-handed.

They made these because the standard AFX cars were losing to the new Tyco Pro chassis.

I'm sure you realize this but the body is not injection molded, it's vacuum formed Lexan/ploycarbonate.

@GesrHeadHam you are correct! I misspoke - not sure what I was thinking but it is a vacuumed formed body.

Had mod fax net it
