OXO cube - 6th-Feb-21
hi guys
having purchased the afx jaguar challenge HO set
i thought i would service the cars before i ran them
being new to HO i wasn't a careful as i should have been
and when one of the pickup / brush / ski thingies fell off , the spring underneath went walk about also
found the blade thing , but the spring has pinged away , i cannot find
my question is :-
where can i buy spares for these cars ?
apparently AFX Turbo chassis
also thought i would check if the lights worked on one of the cars
i now know they are 6v , since the 12v tester i used blew the little light board inside the car body
just gotta love learning new lessons

I was recently challenged to investigate HO suppliers. HO proxy drag-racing is a very cool and interesting thing. Yes?
I would like to offer special thanks to Chris Walker, Bill Hall, Top Down, and Richard Dumas for their help and inspiration in creating the following list.

I'm a bit biased of course, but if you need a fully adjustable wheelbase chassis for diecast conversions and resin bodies, Check out my SL2 chassis on the
HWP Slot Cars Shapeways shop. They come in non-mag and tunable traction mag versions and run on N20 can motors. There's also a fixed 1.5" 4 wheel drive model with quad traction mags. Replacement wings for popular vintage Tyco and AFX. And other replacement parts.

My sons and I also make true 1/64 scale pit crew and spectator figures, and unique custom bodies like a proportionately accurate 1/64 Lotus 33-inspired F1. If you're on facebook, stop by
