Competitive slot car racing demands precision components and reliable accessories, and Auto World delivers exactly that with their comprehensive line of HO scale racing accessories. This collection features everything needed to build, expand, and maintain high-performance slot car layouts, from Traxessories track sections and crossovers to chassis-specific pit kits, colored silicone replacement tires, and electronic timing equipment. Whether you're expanding an existing Auto World racing set, building a custom layout from scratch, or maintaining your fleet of Thunderjet, Xtraction, and 4Gear slot cars, these professional-grade accessories ensure optimal performance and racing excitement.
The Auto World Traxessories track system provides the foundation for custom slot car layouts with precision-engineered sections designed for seamless connectivity and reliable electrical performance. This collection includes 9-inch and 15-inch straight track sections, 9-inch radius curves, crossover tracks, intersection tracks, and specialized components like lap counter tracks and adapter sections. The modular design allows you to create layouts ranging from simple ovals to complex road courses with multiple lanes, elevation changes, and challenging track configurations. Each Traxessories section features Auto World's proven electrical contacts and durable construction that withstands countless racing sessions. The system's compatibility with existing Auto World racing sets makes expansion straightforward, while the variety of available sections enables creative layout designs limited only by your imagination and available space.
Tire performance directly impacts lap times and racing consistency, and Auto World's colored silicone replacement tires deliver superior grip and durability across all chassis platforms. This collection includes chassis-specific tire sets for Thunderjet, Xtraction, 4Gear, and Super III platforms, each engineered with the precise diameter and compound formulation optimized for that chassis design. The silicone construction provides excellent traction on plastic track surfaces while resisting wear and maintaining consistent performance through extended racing sessions. Each package contains 24 tires, providing enough replacements for multiple cars or allowing you to experiment with different tire compounds to find the optimal setup for your racing style and track conditions. The colored identification system helps you track which tire compounds work best for specific cars and racing situations.
Maintaining peak performance requires periodic chassis rebuilds, and Auto World's comprehensive pit kits provide all the essential components needed to restore your slot cars to factory-fresh condition. The collection includes standard and deluxe pit kits for Thunderjet, Xtraction, 4Gear, and Super III chassis, each containing replacement gears, brushes, springs, tires, and other wear items specific to that platform. Deluxe pit kits go further by including complete car bodies, transforming basic maintenance into opportunities to add new liveries to your racing fleet. The Thunderjet Deluxe Pit Kit with 1941 Willys Gasser body, 4Gear Deluxe Pit Kit with 1977 Dodge Tradesman Van body, and Xtraction Deluxe Pit Kit with 2004 Corvette C5-R body exemplify this dual-purpose approach, combining essential maintenance parts with desirable collector bodies.
Serious slot car racing requires accurate timing and fair starts, and Auto World's electronic staging equipment brings professional drag racing technology to HO scale layouts. The Drag Strip Electronic Staging Tree and Finish Line system replicates full-scale NHRA staging procedures with sequential amber lights, green start signal, and red light detection for early starts. This sophisticated system adds authenticity and competitive excitement to drag racing events, teaching proper staging techniques while ensuring fair competition. The electronic timing capabilities allow you to measure elapsed times and track performance improvements as you tune your cars and refine your driving skills. This equipment transforms casual racing into structured competition that mirrors the intensity and precision of professional motorsports.
Driver skill separates winners from also-rans, and quality controllers provide the precise throttle modulation needed to navigate challenging track sections at maximum speed. The Auto World Slot Race Controller Set includes two matched controllers designed for comfortable hand-feel and smooth, progressive power delivery. These controllers allow you to apply exactly the right amount of throttle for each corner, avoiding the wheel-spinning over-acceleration and corner-cutting under-braking that cost precious tenths of seconds per lap. The ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue during extended racing sessions, while the durable construction withstands the enthusiastic button-mashing that accompanies competitive racing. Quality controllers represent one of the most cost-effective performance upgrades available, immediately improving lap times by giving you better control over your cars' power delivery.
Professional-looking layouts require proper track support and visual enhancements, and Auto World provides the accessories needed to elevate your racing environment. The collection includes supports, pillars, and flags that add three-dimensional interest to layouts while providing functional track elevation for creating hills, banked turns, and multi-level crossovers. The 14.5-inch Billboard Race Track Barrier Walls add safety and realism, preventing cars from flying off the track during aggressive racing while creating the visual atmosphere of professional racing circuits. The 9-inch Jump Track with support pieces introduces spectacular airborne action, allowing brave drivers to launch their cars over gaps and obstacles. These accessories transform flat tabletop layouts into dynamic racing environments that capture the excitement and visual drama of real motorsports.
Beyond basic straights and curves, this collection includes specialized track sections that enable advanced layout features and unique racing challenges. The Intersection Track creates four-way crossing points where multiple racing lines converge, adding strategic passing opportunities and requiring precise timing to avoid collisions. The Top Fuel Dragster Return Loop provides dedicated drag racing functionality, allowing cars to make complete runs and return to the starting line automatically. The 3-inch Adapter Track Type-T enables connections between different track systems or creates custom track configurations not possible with standard sections alone. These specialized components give experienced layout builders the tools needed to create unique racing environments that challenge drivers and spectators alike.
While primarily an accessories collection, this selection includes complete car sets that provide instant racing expansion across Auto World's chassis platforms. The Thunderjet, Xtraction, 4Gear, and Super III releases feature themed car collections spanning automotive history, pop culture, and motorsports heritage. Recent releases include GT Icons, Thunder Road muscle cars, Blacktop Bruisers street machines, Rally cars, NHRA Funny Cars, and licensed properties like Looney Tunes Space Jam. Each set typically includes eight cars with diverse liveries, allowing you to build a varied racing fleet or host multi-car competitions. These complete sets complement the individual accessories, providing ready-to-race cars that showcase the performance capabilities of freshly rebuilt chassis equipped with new tires and properly maintained components.
Auto World's multi-chassis approach means different cars require platform-specific parts, and this collection provides comprehensive coverage across the entire Auto World lineup. Thunderjet chassis represent the entry-level platform, offering simple mechanics and affordable performance ideal for beginners and casual racers. Xtraction chassis step up to magnet-assisted traction and improved handling for more competitive racing. 4Gear chassis introduce advanced gearing for higher top speeds and different performance characteristics. Super III chassis provide another performance option with unique handling traits. Having chassis-specific pit kits, tires, and accessories for each platform ensures you can maintain and optimize every car in your collection regardless of which chassis it uses, preventing the frustration of ordering incorrect parts or compromising performance with incompatible components.
The comprehensive selection of Traxessories track sections enables custom layout construction tailored to your available space and racing preferences. Start with the 7-foot Track and Accessory Expand-A Set that includes track sections and an Xtraction car, then add individual straight sections, curves, crossovers, and specialized tracks to create your ideal configuration. The modular nature of the Traxessories system means layouts can grow incrementally as budget and space allow, avoiding the all-or-nothing commitment of fixed layout designs. This flexibility proves especially valuable for racers who relocate frequently or share racing spaces with other activities, as Traxessories layouts can be reconfigured, expanded, contracted, or completely redesigned without rendering previous track purchases obsolete.
