AFX 3-Inch Adapter Track - Connect Old to New Track Systems
Bridge the gap between AFX track generations with the AFX 3-Inch Adapter Track 70605. This essential adapter allows you to connect current AFX track with the previous Side Lock track version, giving you the freedom to mix and match your old track with new track pieces.
Universal AFX Compatibility
One of the best things about AFX racetracks is 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 connects the current AFX track with the previous version of track called the Side Lock (used from 1976-1979).
Important Note: This adapter will not work with the original track design – the Lock and Joiner system used in the 1960s up until 1976.
50 Years of AFX Track Evolution
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.
