Does anyone know what cars came with the Sears set?
Any pics available of the box art?

I have 2 chassis from the set (nonmag w/ front weights) that I would like to put the correct bodies on. :thumbsup:

Thanks, guys!

There was an exclusive four lane Sears set on EBAY that ended yesterday. Four of the cars included had the chassis weights and the stickers on the bodies. Did anyone "save" that auction???

The Sears exclusive super traction cars had a sticker on them that said "super traction" on them, one was a blue nomad, not sure of any others, hopefully somebody has a list. J

Wasn't there more than one Sears exclusive set available? I thought some Penske stickered cars came in a 2 lane Sears set - got a #43 Charger from one, and I think a Matador.

Hi, I like the lineart boxes and the stickers make the cars unique. I am looking for a few if anyone wants to sell/trade. Please post a pix of the chassis weight. -Bob

I actually wound up with several super traction cars,orange nomad,blue nomad and baja pickup.

There are 2 different styles of the weights, look pretty similar, Ive even put them in magnatractions, one seems to work better in magnatractions because of fron axle clearance, I've put them in a few chassis, they seem to help, might be good for drag cars, J

Thanks for everyones input. (and for the pics, Zanza)
Those are the very same chassis that I picked up in an afx lot a couple weeks back.
There was also Datsun P'up(missing rollbar) bod and a pink nomad (perfect)bod in the heard of bods that came with the mess. (Mess = 11 mag and non mag cars all disassembled and jumbled up.)
Iv'e added a few brushes, tyres and shoes so far and have built 4 non-mag and 3 mag chassis so far. Strong runners, all. :thumbsup:

I was just hoping that the bods to those chassis were in that lot, hey. Gotta put them where they belong! (Bob Beers book has been very helpful in this!)

I have sh$tloads of those bodies,thank goodness for a hobbyshop,warranty center buyout!!!

Now mine look different but it might be they can be put in upside down. Zanza, try flipping yours over and see if they fit. The CG (center of gravity) should be lower anyway. I have a few as non mag AFX's. Chris, email me with a sample of what you have in bodies with supertraction decals. rbeers@snet.net -thanks, Bob Beers

I believe there was several Sears sets available. Montgomery Wards and J.C. Pennys had them also. Some if not all are possibley listed in Bob Beer's book.
Randy.

They can be flipped over and still work.I will try and dig some out of the storage unit to show you Bob.

By the way,the front weight just got the rear loose quick,even faster with those crappy foam tires.

I just found 3 white and blue camaros that are also super traction,and a roadrunner.

The pic I have used to describe was not of my chassis, but one that sold on the Bay recently (as was the Penske Sears set)...

Anyway, I just checked my one and only Sears chassis, and apparently its weight is in the same position like the one I show before.

Tried to flip it too, but you can't because of its notches. And by the way it reside under the the yellow/orange Plym but, it hasn't the Sears stickers (or even residue), in case some could think this was a Sears car for sure...

That is not a 100% sears chassis,the guide flag was 1 sided and square,and the front magnet was drab green.Not to mention the rear silicones.

Thanks for the tip about the magnets.... the tires ahem I prefer to run my car than let it aside with dry rotten tires :-)

So the ones that Daveshobby is currently selling on the Bay are not genuine Sears if I follow your lesson (my first picture of the pair of supposedly Sears chassis...) ?

I agree with you on the silicones!I have a custom only one maker private tire/rim combo that is kick butt,and never slips on the dragstrip!:)
