Amrac bought Cox's molds and then somehow became ROKAR whick was bought out by Lifelike.

That's the short of it anyway. I also understand the Darda and Rotofast bodies fit Cox/AMRAC/ROKAR/Lifelike chassis.

Mine's the Amrac Porshce Carerra RSR. Runs like a wet cat!

The best representation to date.

Does LifeLike still produce the old Cox/Amrac/Rokar Porsche' cars or were they discontinued in the '90's ?

I don't think Walthers/LL does the Porsche and Datsun anymore, which is a shame. Many folks like them.

I don't think Walthers/Lifelike is doing anything but NAStyCAR now. Well, there are rumors of a ricer Honda.

On a side note, the Amrac chassis is a takeoff on the Aurora G plus chassis and lends itself well to adding neo chips for added grip. :D

YOu forgot to add the Darda connectin.. they were between Rokar and Life like... for a short time. I have two Darda slot cars... they;re the exact same thing as Rokar, only with a Darda tampo on it.

My favorite body is also the Porsche RSR

Concerning the Rotafast fitting bodies, the only one that can barely fit are the FAST Formula 1 cars (the one with the G-Plus clone chassis)...
The genuine Rotafast cars with their weird chassis definitely don't fit an Amrac/Rokar/LL chassis...
I have a comparison webpage about Rotafast if it can interest some here:

VJ, about the Darda cars, what is the original chassis fitting below? A genuine Amrac? a Rokar? what is stamped (if any) under the chassis? I ask because I won two Darda recently and still haven't received them,. The picture was showing apparently a LifeLike chassis.

VJ, I saw we both miss the Russell Maxx car auction last day on ePayy :wave:
