AFX – 1/64 Scale – Collector Series – Mega G – Mustang Mach 1 in White Slot Car
Evolution of the Breed!
As the Mustang continued to evolve after it’s introduction in 1964, it became clear to Ford that they needed to increase their performance options to compete with the Camaro and Firebird. So, in late 1968 the Mustang Mach 1 was introduced as a 1969 model year option.
It was a smash! So successful that for 1970 the GT models were discontinued and the Mach 1 and Boss models expanded to comprise the entire performance range for Mustang.
There were several different performance engine options available but for 1970 the 351W (Windsor) was replaced with the 351C (Cleveland) which made better power. Together with higher performance suspension, the 1970 proved a formidable street weapon. What a car!
For this replica, AFX outfitted our Mach 1 with the beautiful 5 spoke mag wheels from American Wheels that were so popular at the time. A nice touch!
Most Realistic and Now, Most Drivable!
We already had the longest wheelbase and the lowest, narrowest chassis ever made in 1/64th scale. With that, our designers were making the most realistic cars ever. And our cars out handled anything else in the market. That’s good enough, right? Wrong!
We weren’t satisfied with the driveability. We wanted you to be able to race wheel to wheel, lap after lap, and feel like you’re driving a real car. But we couldn’t do it by just changing the chassis. We had to create a whole new race system – the Mega G Race System.
What is the Mega G Race System?
It is a Slot Car system that delivers the perfect balance of grip and speed. The result is a slot car set that is easier to learn and easier to drive at the limit so you have more fun fast and keep having fun longer.
We achieved this by redesigning our famous Mega-G chassis, designing a new power unit and precisely mating it to our upgraded AFX120 controller and our exclusive Tri-Power Pack. With decades of slot car innovation and over a year of experimentation behind it, we believe the Mega G Race System is the best out of the box slot car system you can buy.
Mega G CHASSIS
This new chassis is the heart of the Mega G Race System. It is not just faster and better handling than the competition, now it is even smoother, more consistent, more intuitive and more fun to drive than any car we’ve ever built. Check out these performance features:
- FN20 Advanced Power Unit: Same power output as original Mega-G but lighter, smoother, quieter, more consistent and uses 33% less energy
- Weight: Up to 30% lighter than any other HO chassis, 5% lighter than original Mega-G – Way more fun to drive
- Size: Lowest and narrowest chassis ever made – Much more realistic bodies
- Re-designed Pick-Up Shoes: Stronger, follows rail better for consistent power
- Center of gravity: Lowest of all competitors – Corners better than any other chassis
- Wheelbase: Longest available – Better proportioned bodies
- Guide Pin: Exclusive extra long tapered guide pin (Only AFX has it!) – Car stays in the slot longer
- Ground Effects Magnets: Level 30 Neodymium – Stays glued to the track
- Chassis Material: Nylatron – Super strong and durable
- High Carbon Power Unit Brushes: Last much longer than composite brushes
- New Redundant Power Transfer System: Maintains consistent power supply to motor for improved durability and better drivability
