This brought back some happy memories for me! The sound of your cars clicking over the tracks just throws me back to being a kid again. My set was from '75 or '76. The cars didn't have the buttons nor the flappers for pick-ups, but silvery rectangular pads that were each sprung. Worked pretty well. I had the 4 speed stick shift controllers, but they were not as fun nor as controllable as the standard squeezer ones. I wish I hadn't been a destructive kids, because I pretty much destroyed all my cars and tracks! Sigh.... it's true, youth is wasted on the young.... lol

Very cool. That is a great set. I am also a train collector but I am a major slot car collector. It’s great having these hobbies that bring your child hood memories back!! Keep it in the slot!!

Thanks for watching it was a lot of fun! I got an Eldon 1/32 set review in the works as well.

Nice cars/set. I was cringing when you used the steel wool. I just was given a 1967 Model Motoring set from a relative and they used steel wool on the track. Going through the 6 cars they were loaded up with metal steel wool shards on the magnets/bodies. I tried one TJet 500 car before cleaning it up and it looked like it was in flames on the track it was sparking so badly.......I finally got the old track set up and it did not disappoint. I cleaned the entire track with WD-40 and it is not slick at all. The Viper guys suggest using the WD-40 and I was skeptical. But the track looks like new now and the cars run fine on it. The 3 level cardboard mountain is a riot, it's like Pikes Peek........

Good find! I'm not a fan of the old style track due to the tabs being so easy to break. I like those catalogs, I always wanted a road and rail set but AFX didn't have one at the time and they didn't make adapter track back then. So I had to build my own.

Great Show , Afx guy, But love the tyco pro. I rotate the wheels on those cars so they don't get flat spotted. Love the white rear tires, but very soft........Have around 1300 HO Slot cars. AFX/TYCO/AUTOWORLD,etc.....

I love my tycos 440 x2 I started out with auto world I'm starting to get more tyco and afx I love afx and tyco they run faster and stay on the track I like your set nice

I'm pretty sure your AFX would wipe the table of the TycoPro unless maybe we were on a drag strip or something lol. The only AFX I had was the funny Tank and I am looking for one of those currently!
