Description
This is the AFX 1970 Corvette Red w/Yellow Wildfire Mega G+ HO Slot Car
Nothing beats the world famous sports car, the C3 3rd generation Corvette. Designed by Russian Zora Arkus-Duntov, the body was patterned after the Mako Shark II designed in 1965. The C3 body would go on to be produced from 1968 through to 1982. Not only was the Corvette one of the coolest looking American sports cars, in its time it was also one of the fastest. Able to run at 140 mph with little to no effort, specific tires were designed to reliably sustain and stabilize the car at such high speeds.
In an effort to pack more punch in less space, Chevrolet focused on smaller-displacement engines and in 1970, they introduced the LT-1. A 350 cubic inch engine with factory rated 370 horsepower. An unprecedented size and number for sports cars at the time.
AFX Wild Fire Flames are proprietary custom designs. But we certainly weren’t the first folks to paint flames on the side of a hot rod.
The first flames to appear on a hot rod were literal flames. Captured in a perfectly timed photograph on October 20th, 1938 by the Carroll Photo Company. Driver Fred Friday zipped his car through Gilmore Stadium when his car alighted in flames from a fuel leak. The idea that a car had been driven so furiously as to emit flames inspired hot rod and muscle car fans across the country. Friday survived the race, happily, and totally unaware of what his unique race performance had ignited.
World War II followed swiftly after bringing with it the trend of “nose art” – the decorative painting of an aircraft’s front fuselage. Though originally intended to identify friendly planes, the practice quickly evolved into an expression of individuality. The aircraft “nose art” was showcased to the general public and the idea spread like, well, wildfire.
By the 1950s the custom hot rod craze peaked. Returning veterans were drawn to both the thrill of racing and the new outlet for self-expression. With the booming economy of post-war America, hot rodders and muscle car lovers brought their designs to life with access to custom parts and professional designers.

Mega G+ Chassis
This chassis doesn’t just go faster or handle better than the competition. It wasn’t just built with the ultra-low, narrow dimensions of the original Mega G to continue the reign of the most realistic HO cars on earth. The Mega G+ Chassis is smoother, more consistent, and more intuitive than any car we’ve ever built.

Includes One AFX 1970 Corvette Red w/Yellow Wildfire Mega G+ HO Slot Car | This is the AFX Formula N #4 Red/Gray Mega G+ HO Slot Car Formula N No matter what type of racing you’re into, you just can’t argue one simple fact: Formula cars are true works of art. Unprecedented downforce meets monumental grippage in today’s Formula cars, with the second most advanced technology after fighter war planes. The unmatched braking system allows acceleration from 0-100mph back down to 0mph within a mere 4 seconds. The wings are engineered to literally manipulate air. They create such intense downforce that, at upwards of 150MPH, an F1 car can be driven upside down on the ceiling of a tunnel. With those mind-blowing engineering facts, we refused to take a single shortcut in designing our very own AFX Exclusive Formula N cars.

Sauber F1 C44 #24 FY Introducing the new Sauber F1 C44 #24 FY with an official license from Sauber Motorsport, AFX used the sponsor logos, livery details and body specs of the real life cars to create the most realistic HO scale version possible. The Swiss company, Sauber Motorsport, shot off the starting line when it was founded in 1970. After its debut in F1 in 1993, Sauber carved out a name for itself. Not only were they one of the few traditional, privately held teams in the sport, they set standards in the design, development and construction of race cars to this day. Sauber Motorsport conducts full and model-scale testing in the factory’s state-of-the-art wind tunnel providing ground-breaking innovation in the field of aerodynamics. The company’s evolutionary skill and artistry helped earn its induction into the exclusive club of teams to have competed in more than 500 F1 races. In 2022, Sauber Motorsport celebrated 30 years in the sport and continues to dominate both on and off the track. These cars blow AFX’s already top-of-the-line detail and design rendering out of the water. Their multifaceted logos and deeply sculpted bodies pushed the boundaries of car construction to heights never before seen – much less attempted, at such a small scale. The 2024 Sauber F1 C44 #24, driven by Zhou Guanyu alongside Stake 1 teammate Valtteri Bottas in #77, is built with a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque featuring a Ferrari-supplied 1.6L V6 turbo engine and a redline of 15,000 RPM. The C44’s most dramatic shift may be the change from push-rod to pull-rod suspension, lowering the car’s center of gravity. That, coupled with its aerodynamic features - revised sculpted sidepods and a complex front wing - help maximize downforce while minimizing drag. In 2024, Zhou Guanyu has solidified his reputation as a talented driver, showcasing strong performances behind the wheel of the Sauber F1 C44. Zhou's resilience and racecraft have enabled him to consistently challenge for points finishes, moving up the leaderboard with increasing confidence. Zhou's future in Formula 1 looks promising as he pushes the limits of the Sauber F1 C44. AFX honors the advanced technology and craftsmanship of the C44, from its aerodynamic lines to the precise cockpit replica, making it a fitting tribute to both the car and its driver.

The Mustang of the century, Ford’s 2021 Shelby GT500 is the fastest, most powerful street-legal car Ford has ever produced. The Mustang is Ford’s original “Pony car” and hasn’t deviated from its core composition in more than 55 years. It’s certainly been worth the wait for its 760 horsepower and 625 pound-feet of torque. And don’t let its smaller, lighter, athletic look fool you, with the Predator – the supercharged 5.2 liter V-8 engine, the GT500 roars from 0 to 100 to 0 in under 10.6 seconds and tops out at 180mph. Stomping through the streets with a kind of grace, it’s no wonder this GT500 is the only Mustang to bear the Cobra Snake Badge. AFX displays the Mustang’s unique, new design with a high-flying rear wing, intricate grill and muscular but sleek, sloping body. With black accents atop a stunning red, this car will turn anyone’s head.

Overview
The HobbyZone Mini AeroScout makes learning to fly RC airplanes in more places and smaller spaces easy and fun! Inspired by the extremely popular AeroScout S, its "mini" size makes it a perfect smaller trainer model that can be flown in large parks, soccer fields, football fields and other suitable spaces where larger models can't typically be flown. It features incredibly durable EPP construction with the same pusher power configuration as its larger counterpart for improved safety plus better propeller and motor protection that makes it the most durable HobbyZone airplane yet!
This makes it possible for first-time RC pilots to learn to fly successfully with one of the most durable hobby-quality trainers ever. It's also extremely easy to assemble and repair if needed because – unlike other similar class models – the major airframe parts including the wing and tail simply bolt or snap into place…no glue or tape required!
Best of all it's a Ready-To-Fly (RTF) aircraft so it includes a controller/transmitter equipped with 2.4GHz technology, AA batteries for the transmitter, plus a rechargeable LiPo flight battery and convenient USB charger. That means there's nothing extra to buy or provide so you can fly!
And the fun doesn't stop after you learn how to fly! It's lightweight yet durable airframe is equipped with a powerful electric motor that delivers long flight times and provides plenty of speed and power to perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls and more. That means the Mini AeroScout is a model even experienced RC pilots will appreciate and enjoy flying – and can also use to teach others to fly.

| This is the AeroScout S 2 1.1m RTF Basic RC Airplane with SAFE
The HobbyZone AeroScout S 2 1.1m makes learning to fly an RC (radio controlled) airplane more fun and easier than ever before! It's the perfect trainer because it's very durable and is equipped with exclusive SAFE(Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology that helps to prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation and crashes so nearly everyone can learn to fly successfully. It also features Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced flight modes so you can choose the level of stability and control you need at the flip of a switch. The "pusher" power configuration and EPO construction make it more durable than other similar class models. Tricycle landing gear with oversized tires and a steerable nose wheel makes it easy to take off from and land on a wide variety of surfaces from pavement to grass – or you can install the optional floats (sold separately) to fly from ponds and lakes!
