Hey guys how’s it going?

This is Tony Karamitsos Product Manager here at Round 2.

As most of you know me and my passion for cars, i’ve been involved with Die Cast, Slot Cars and the development of product since the early days with Playing Mantis / JL and for the last few years here at Round 2.

I really enjoy researching and staring a project from start to finish.  Seeing something begin from scratch and then moving along to mockup / test shot stage, to designing car graphics and then to see and hold the finished product is a great feeling and accomplishment!!

In this release I’m featuring our New X-Traction Racing Rigs Semis.

These Haulers are new tools and all trailers feature dual axles and guide pins for extra stability on the track.

The Rigs themselves are very detailed with painted and chrome features.  Make sure to lift the trailers to see the added detail on the flat part where the trailer mounts to the semis.

Have fun with your Rigs and that’s a 10-4 Good Buddy!!

Tony K

    The new rigs look great! Keep up the good work! The x/traction ultra G chassis on the rigs ran great on my track quite fast right out of the box!

    AW did a good job on these. The cabs could use some stripes and the trailer’s connector pin is a hair too thin. The trailers are a little wobbly going around the corners because of this.

    I saw these at Bob’s Hobby Shop in Watervliet, Michigan. I really like the box trailers with the Auto World logo and car on the side. Randy R.

    Hi Tony, I love your AW Xtraction type cars and trucks. I have been collecting slot cars for many years and I think to date I have well over 1000 slot cars with a ton of Playing Mantis , Johnny Lightning, and a lot of the Xtraction,all the way up to your latest 4 Gear slot cars that I really think you did a wonderful job at correcting some of the faults that Aurora had with the screw mounted posts that were very fragile. I also love your 05 Ford GT and your 70 Mustangs. I would love to buy if you made a 67 Ford Mustang GT Coupe & a 67 Ford Mustang GT Convertable.

    I wish your dump trucks actually had a working hinged dump bed along with the swinging door.
    I also think theese would be nicer with a lighted chassis as they roll down the tracks.

    The Rigs would also be better with lighted chassis.

    I love vintage 50′s erra cars and I wanted to make a request for a really cool 50′s Dodge that has the 4 round vents in the front fenders and the front of the car looks like it’s pouting. I don’t actually know what model dodge it is or the exact year.
    I would love to see this type of Dodge made into a Black and White Police car. No roof light, just a driver side mirror and light with just the door painted white. It would also be cool in a Gold and Black sevilian vehicle. thanks for making this hobby fun to collect and race.
