AFX Latest Releases

BRAND NEW 1.5" WHEELBASE MEGA-G COLLECTOR CARS
ARE HERE - Now in Stock!!

They just arrived! All six of the brand new Tomy AFX Mega-G Collector Cars are now in stock. These cars include the brand new 1.5-inch wheelbase Mega-G chassis, complete with new body clip, underneath these very collectible Ford GT40's and Cobra Daytona Coupe. The Miles, McLaren, Gurney, Andretti, and Whitmore GT40's are replicas of the cars that took part in the 1966 LeMans 24-Hour Race. The red Cobra Daytona Coupe is a new offering from AFX featuring clear windows and interior detail.

The first three Ford GT40 bodies listed are re-issues of the Shelby America team cars run at LeMans in 1966. The light blue and black GT40's finished first and second that year but not without a controversial finish. Ken Miles and Denny Hulme piloted the #1 car and thought they had won in a top-3 dead-heat finish. The French officials thought otherwise and declared the black #2 car, driven by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon, the official winner since they had started the race further down the grid and, therefore, covered more ground. The red #3 Shelby-prepped GT40 was driven by American's Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant. They led much of the race before retiring during the 18th hour.

The other three new Tomy AFX releases feature their new clear body technology where the bodies are painted, using the usual process, but the windshields remain clear. This allows some visual interior detail which is handled by installing a printed paper which mimics the real detail in the real car (i.e. seats, spare tires, carburetors, etc.) With clear windows being a part of the body, there’s no need for a separate, bulky, glued in part. It does make quite a visual difference.

All of these new Tomy AFX cars ride on top of the brand new 1.5" wheelbase Mega-G chassis. The chassis is pictured above and, as you can see, features a slightly shorter wheelbase than the DP01 Formula Mega-G cars launched last year. Otherwise, it's the same car but utilizes a new body clip so full-width bodies can be snapped onto the Mega-G chassis. All of these new Mega-G Collector Series cars are in stock and available for immediate shipment.

Note: Don’t forget all of these beautiful GT40 bodies, as well as the Daytona Coupe, will snap directly onto a BSRT G-Jet making for even more realistic racing.

NEW TOMY AFX "CLEAR" FORD GT40’s, CHAPARRAL 2D,
and COBRA DAYTONA COUPE SRT CARS

Along with the new Mega-G formula cars, Racemasters has also released four new bodies in their Collector line of SRT cars and we've got them in stock now! The four bodies on these cars are unique in that they started life out clear. The clear body is then painted, using the usual process, but the windshields remain clear. This allows some visual interior detail which is handled by installing a printed paper which mimics the real detail in the real car (i.e. seats, engine detail, etc.)

As for the four new releases, these are pretty sweet. First off, there’s two new versions based on their very popular Ford GT40 body. AFX part #9074 is a replica of the #6 GT40 that Mario Andretti and Lucien Bianchi ran at LeMans in 1966. This was one of the Ford team cars entered by the American Holman-Moody team more commonly known for their NASCAR expertise. The other GT40 (part #9075) is the yellow #8 car driven by John Whitmore (he would become “Sir” John Whitmore much later) and Frank Gardner. This was an English-based Ford team run by Alan Mann that also ran at LeMans in 1966.

In addition to the GT40’s, there’s also a new Cobra Daytona Coupe (part #9072) and a new Chaparral 2D (#9077). The #13 Daytona Coupe competed in the 1965 World Endurance Championship and driven by Jo Schlesser and Hal Keck. It was later driven by Dan Gurney and, because of car #13’s slightly higher roofline (a mistake during the car’s construction), Gurney preferred driving this Daytona Coupe over any of the others. There's also a brand new #9 Chaparral 2D entered and campaigned by Jim Hall during the 1966 World Endurance Championship. This car is a replica of the 2D driven by American Phil Hill and Jo Bonnier to a win at the 1966 Nurburgring round of the World Championship. All of these new "clear" SRT Collector Series cars are in stock and available for immediate shipment.

Note: Don’t forget all of these beautiful Collector "clear" bodies will snap directly onto a BSRT G-Jet making for even more realistic racing.

NOW IN STOCK!
NEW TOMY AFX TRI-POWER PACK
While not quite carrying the same weight as the new Mega-G car, AFX’s Tri-Power Pack is still an important new product release. Ever since Aurora stopped production of their two-screw transformer power packs decades ago, all AFX sets have been down on power. The most common complaint is that one car will speed up when the other car comes off. While the voltage rating was high, the problem was always a lack of amperage. That’s all been taken care of with their new Tri-Power Pack. Of even more importance, there’s now three different voltages you can set the power pack to including 22 volts, 12 volts, and 8 volts. At all three voltages, there’s a full 1-amp on hand, just like the original Aurora two-screw transformers. With a standard Tomy terminal track plug attached to it, H.O. enthusiasts will now be able to switch between running magnet cars on 22-volts and BSRT’s very popular G-Jet™ on 12-volts. It’s as simple as flipping a switch. The new Tri-Power Pack is a very important new product for the entry level racing crowd. The Tri-Power Pack is part #8822P and is now IN STOCK ready for immediate shipment. The price for the AFX Tri-Power Pack is $29.95.

THE AFX DUAL POWER PACK TERMINAL TRACK IS BACK
Ever since Scale Auto introduced the AFX Dual Power Pack Terminal Track to the H.O. world back in the 1990’s, we’ve been trying to get that track section made again. Well, it’s finally happened and we’re happy to announce this valuable piece of AFX track is now, once again, available from Scale Auto. In case you’re not familiar with this piece of track, it’s a standard Tomy AFX 15” Terminal track but with an extra plug so you can hook up one power pack per lane. As anyone involved in this hobby knows, the standard wall pack supplied in a race set typically provides just enough power to run one car properly. Now, with the ability to hook up one power pack per lane, it eliminates any power problems you may have on your layout. Part number 8998, we sell the AFX Dual Power Pack Terminal Track for $10.95.

NEW AFX LONG BEACH GRAND PRIX RACE SET
Along with updating their 4-Way Split, Giant, and Big Block Battlers race sets, AFX has released a brand new, officially licensed, Long Beach Grand Prix race set. This set comes with track to duplicate the race circuit that runs through the streets of Long Beach in Southern California. The real track has seen many major racing sanctioning bodies run races there including Formula 1, CART, F5000, Champ Car, and many others. This set comes with enough track to complete a 50-foot two-lane Long Beach replica in a 16 x 9 foot space. As a special bonus, there’s seven other race tracks you can make with this set including a variety of other layouts Champ Cars race on. This set includes licensed replicas of the #1 Sebastien Bourdais and #3 Paul Tracy Champ Cars. Both bodies come on AFX Super G-Plus chassis. Part number 9949, we’re selling this set for $147.00.

ALL NEW AFX FOUR-WAY SPLIT RACE SET
Racemasters has re-released an updated version of their “other” 4-lane race set called Four Way Split. To start with, there’s four new LeMans cars that come in the set. These include a Sauber Mercedes C9, an AEG Mercedes C9, a Shell Porsche 962, and a blue/white Minolta Toyota 89CV. All four LeMans bodied cars comes on an AFX Super G-Plus chassis. This is a four-lane race set which includes 36 feet of track to make up a four-lane road course, four controllers, two power packs, built into the track lap counters, and snap-out cardboard Grandstand and Pit Buildings. We’ve got the 4-Way Split in stock at $137.50, making it one of the best set values available today.
