Auto World Slot Cars: Drag Racing! -Exclusive Sneak Peek-
Later this year, we will release the most exciting slot car race set ever. 1:64 slot car drag racing is coming from Auto World! If you have been itching for a working drag racing christmas tree and finish line for your 1:64 race sets, look no further. We have this scheduled to be available early 2010.
Features of this set include:
- Working LED christmas tree
- 2 race modes: Pro and Sportsman authentically timed to NHRA regulation
- Foul light sensor to prevent early starts
- 2 variable speed controllers and UL approved power pack
- Electronic finish line with win indicator
- Two BRAND NEW authentic Funny Car or Pro Stock racers
- 12 feet of race track (track extends easily for longer dragstrip action)
- Scale speeds over 300mph
- Cars safely stop at end of track
This track is compatible with all of our existing race sets, so you can make your dragstrip as long as you like! When we did our initial testing, we set up a nearly 35-foot dragstrip! We could hardly put the controllers down it was so much fun.
Take a look at these pics of the early tooling mockups we used for testing. (Of course these are pretty rough and will have the wiring fully hidden in production) This is exclusive to this blog and never seen anywhere else!
Using our 4Gear chassis, we have tooled 3 new racers; 2 funny cars and a pro stock. Shown here are the very first test shots.
