X Traction and T Jet cars?

Tjets do not use the motor magnets for "downforce". X-Traction cars do use the motor magnet for "downforce". By "downforce", I mean the magnets are exposed to the steel electrical rails to provide a magnetic attraction between the car and track.

Xtractions are a bit heavier, and with a lower stance. That also improves handling. These chassis are near perfect replicas of what was made in the 60's and 70's.

The Tjets have a more realistic scale underside clearance.

one thing that wasn't mentioned that is fairly important:tjets are not the same scale as a/fx and a/fx magnatractions,which are the blue print for all the new autoworld/jl cars.such as AW JL t jet 500,which are not so exact copie s of the aurora,and the x-traction which are a more accurate copy of the aurora a/fx magna tracion...that said,ho scale is the t-jet,and mt,xl,etc.are the larger 1/64 scale,ho being 1/87...

I understand that the Xtraction cars should work fine with Lifelike HO tracks-correct?

Just flip the 'blade' guide pin over to the pin side. The blade scrapes the bottom of the slot, raising the front wheels off the track.
