Use This Adapter to Connect Old AFX Track to New
One of the best things about AFX racetracks are how universal they are. Any AFX car from any era will work on any AFX track from any era. And now, with this adapter, you can mix and match your old track with new track, too.
This adapter will only connect the current AFX track with the previous version of track called the Side Lock. It will not work with the original track design – the Lock and Joiner.
Fun Fact: There have only been three generations of AFX Track. The first AFX track was the Aurora Lock and Joiner which was used in the 60s up until 1976 when the Side Lock track was created. The Side Lock was only used for 3 years before the next iteration of track emerged, the push/pull design used today. That means our current track design has been around for 50 years. That’s a lot of racing.
Pro Tip: You may notice performance differences between old and new tracks. To mitigate performance differences, make sure to keep your track and cars in good working condition by routinely maintaining them, cleaning and replacing parts as needed.
