I recently bought a pair of vintage Aurora scale model trucks. Both of them are sooo close to fitting over a Tjet/AFX chassis, that I began looking for other models too. There are loads of small models listed in auctions, like Lindberg, Revel Snap Fit, and countless others. I don't want to damage the models I got, but will get photos up shortly of them next to rulers and the chassis that'd fit them. Between Aurora, Tyco, LifeLike, and Auto World, there are plenty of options out there to bring currently unavailable year/make/model vehicles to the slotted community, and the slotless too.
. I found this little gem and think it's right on the money.. 3 3/16 X 1 1/4 X 7/8 inches high. Should fit a Tjet or slim Tyco easily.. A bit of creative rigging on the underside of the body, adding either screw posts or some carefully applied hot glue to keep the AFX chassis centered and, wwaallaa, a slotcar is born.. If anyone out there has a model car they easily fit on to an HO chassis, please share. There's also quite a few decently detailed plastic cars out there that'd be prime candidates for slotcarism.. Nowhere near enough Caddy's runnin around the tracks these days.
