Original AURORA New-Old-Stock (NOS) Wild Ones / ThunderJet 500 Hybrid chassis.
The ThunderJet 500 was introduced in 1963 by Aurora Plastics Corporation as the successor to the Vibrator Chassis. Wild Ones were introduced in early 1969. Tuff Ones were introduced in December of 1969. AFX (Non MagnaTraction) cars were introduced in 1971. In 1970, as AURORA geared up to transition to AFX, they needed to clear out remaining TJet and Wild Ones components.
They put together this HYBRID TJet chassis and pushed them out to distributors and Hobby Shops.
These Wild Ones / ThunderJet 500 Hybrid chassis feature:
•    Speedwound GREEN wire GREY lam-tip Wild Ones armature
•    High Silver content ‘SPEED’ brushes for improved conductivity
•    Silver plated pickup shoes
•    Stock TJet Gears
•    Stock TJet Hubs, Axles, Tires -
NOTE: Tires are nearly a half century old and need to be replaced for competitive racing.
True NOS T-Jet chassis are becoming scarce. These Wild Ones T-Jet Hybrid chassis are original AURORA New-Old-Stock out of master cases of 100 and not used. Complete rolling chassis assembly with standard car chrome wheel hubs and rubber tires
(NOTE: Tires are nearly a half century old and need to be replaced for competitive racing).
Compatible with all HO slot car track. Fits under original Aurora T-Jet, Johnny Lightning ThunderJet 500 Pull-Back car, Johnny Lightning Tuff Ones, autoworld® ThunderJet 500™, auto world® ThunderJet Ultra-G™, and MoDEL MoToRING slot car bodies. Guide pin and body screws not included.
AURORA’s durable ‘Pancake’ chassis design is the preferred choice of racing clubs and vintage slot car enthusiasts. NOS Aurora ThunderJet 500 chassis will require regular maintenance including tuning, cleaning, and oiling; just like they did back in the day. This is part of the FUN of HO Slot Car Racing!
A word on shipping handling times:
We get lots of positive feedback praising our fast shipping. And in over 20 years of shipping HO SLOT CARS, we have never lost a package. We suspect this is because the USPS takes Postal Fraud very seriously as under United States Code 18 Section 1708, federal mail theft and fraud is a felony punishable by up to five years in federal prison and fines of up to 0,000. However, on a very few rare occasions, the USPS has taken a bit longer than expected to deliver a package. This usually is the result of the USPS putting a package on the wrong truck or plane. Hence, we’ve adjusted our listing shipping handling times as we and not the Post Office get blamed for any delays despite the fact that once we hand off a package to the USPS we no longer control the shipping time. We still are committed to fast shipping but had to take this necessary listing change to protect ourselves from a rare delay that is out of our control.

What should I consider before ordering?
--------------------------------------------------------------
There are two basic categories of HO Slot Cars: Modern Magnet Cars and Vintage T-Jet Style Cars.
Modern 'magnet' cars have 'magnet' downforce and will run very fast right out of the packaging.
Vintage Style NOS (New-Old-Stock) Aurora T-Jet 500 cars will require regular maintenance including tuning, cleaning, and oiling just like they did back in the day. AURORA’s classic ‘Pancake’ TJet chassis design from the 1960’s is the preferred choice of racing clubs and vintage slot car enthusiasts.
Slot Car Racing is an adult hobby and does not offer the same experience as new high tech toys and video games. There are adult racing clubs all over the country dedicated to racing both Vintage Style and Modern Magnet Style slot cars. Slot Car Racing is a hobby requiring mechanical skills and dexterity for driving and chassis & track maintenance. Most slot car enthusiasts are adults. We do not advocate or encourage the purchase of merchandise from HO-SLOT-CARS for anyone under the age of 18. This hobby will require almost as much time in maintenance as in actual racing.
For those who know and love this hobby, this is part of the FUN of HO-SLOT-CARS.
Please do not purchase if you are unsure of the skills and commitment required to race and maintain HO Slot Cars and track.
