No, these are mint T Jet chassis, fore runners of AFX. Even smaller. Have "lexan" for them, although they're probably polycarbonate.

Although, I have a few AFX on the quiet lol.

Micro scalextric are crap with the braids. You need the older scalextric MR1, much better.

The Tomy track is the best :thumbup: can do up to 10 lanes with that if all bends are 180.

I'll post something in off topic next month.

Look forward to that. I bought my son Tomy and, yes, good quality but it wasn't around when l bought Aurora, back in the mid 70s.

Did you ever use the huge 1/24 commercial raceways in the mid 60s? Hammersmith, Chiswick, Eltham? Two of the tracks ended up relocated in Southend on Sea in the 70s. It wasn't the internet that killed them off! I watched the 1/32 slot world champs at Silverstone when l was running the 1/10 world champs drifting in the same venue, 2012 l think. Not as fast as the older 1/24 but still good.
