General slot car

This is set number 2 for the Dukes of Hazzard which will be released from Auto World for 2008.

Over the years there has been a few General Lee slot cars made. So what's the difference. Well the first car was made by Ideal toys. It was big then normal slot cars and didn't perform as well as other brands. The rebel flag and 01 were paper decals and the left side mirror fell off. The second version was made by Aurora. Now they did not want to pay the license fees so there car number was 11 and had the rebel flag on the hood. Also the car was a 1973 Charger body. This car had a better chassis (AFX magna-traction chassis) and was more reliable. This car still goes for big money today. The sets were called Dixie Challenge or Daredevil Hazard. The last company was Auto World. Now they have done there home work and the cars are great. The first version has the correct license plate on rear with rebel flag plate on the front. This car had no pushbar. The second version has the pushbar but doesn't have the license plate but just says Dodge. Both are great cars. There chassis are based on the Aurora AFX chassis. The second version has narrow wheels on front to help turn better and a stiffer chassis. Hope this helps.

Slot cars were around since the late 50's til today. Some do come as kits that need to be painted and built. Most cars are ready to run out of the box. Slot cars come in 4 scales 1/24, 1/32(most popular world wide) 1/43 and the scale I have 1/64(size of a Hot Wheels car). They pictures I have posted is what the manufacture Auto World produced. These cars will work on any H.O. scale track. They will work with Tyco brand, Life-Like brand, Aurora brand and Tomy brand track.I hope this helps. They are detailed just like a diecast car but run on a track. You control your speed with a speed controler. You can slow down, speed up and race your friends.

A slot car is a electric car that rides on a track using a guide pin in a slot hence a slot car. (like a toy train set). These cars retail for about $14.95 U.S. and can be purchased from the manufacter Auto World www.autoworldslotcars.com . You can find them as well on ebay or your local hobby shop. They have also produced a set that has Rosco's car and the General Lee with 26 feet of track. I hear this is sold out already. As far as the kit to make the Boar's Nest I purchase all the items and painted them myself. It is a great hobby and you can spend time weathering the kit to look real. I got the Boar's Nest image for the net and just printed up and added to the kit.

Here are some more pictures of the Dukes of Hazzard slot cars from Auto World. The iWheel cars in white are limited to 150 and the chrome are limited to only 500 sets made.

Well I have pictures of the new release of Dukes of Hazzard slot cars. Auto World has done a great job. They have a new and improved General Lee along with Daisy's Jeep and Roadrunner. Also a better Roscoe's patrol car along with the State Police car. We also have Cooter's Racing Camaro. Daisy Jeep even has a windshield that you can lay on the hood.
