Hobby Shop Tapestries

A retro sticker of a Hobby Shop in Hawaii long since gone. Provided for nostalgia.

The Aurora Plastics Corporation introduced the A/FX (Aurora Factory Experimentals, later simply "AFX") line of slot cars, track sets, and related accessories in 1971. Aurora designed the AFX cars with an interchangeable car body, allowing users to use a single chassis for multiple models. The original '71 A/FX chassis utilized an updated version of Aurora's "Thunderjet 500" line, popular in the '60s. AFX introduced the innovative "G-Plus" in-line motor chassis in 1976. This design allowed the use of narrow, open-wheel Formula 1 style bodies, something not previously possible with traditional slot car chassis designs. AFX continued production, releasing multiple innovative products until the company was forced into receivership in 1983.

Mention a racetrack that operated in Brooklyn for more than 55 years, and people will think you're crazy, but they're clearly just not in the know. Buzz-a-Rama was a slot car racing venue that was opened in 1965 by Buzz and Dolores Perri that had multiple electrified racing tracks, vintage arcade games, and dusty glass displays selling slot-car racing parts. The hobby was extremely popular in the '60s, with dozens of similar raceways in the city, but Buzz-A-Rama was the last commercial slot-car track in operation in NYC. While other tracks had died out decades ago, Buzz kept his open, even though it made no money, saying that if he didn't own the building, it would have been long gone as well.

Total Control Racing (TCR) was a toy brand from Ideal which debuted in the late '70s based around approximately HO scale cars (and smaller scale semi-trailer trucks) that operated on a slotless track. The plastic track contained lanes of three metal strips which made contact with a configuration of two brass pads on the underside of the cars, providing power. Cars could change lanes with the flick of a switch on the controller. For added racing action, TCR sets came with "jam cars," slow moving drones which both racers had to avoid crashing into.

Awesome design for those who love Shopping. Thank you.

Jim Russell was a California slot car enthusiast who decided that the cars of the day could be greatly improved, and took it upon himself to make that happen. Jim founded Russkit in 1963, launching with his first product, called Russ-Coat, a polyurethane varnish to protect a car's finish from impacts. Next came a line of bodies, first made of fiberglass, and then much lighter vacuum-formed white styrene, which were an immediate success. Simultaneously, Russkit was developing their own line of chassis and motors, including the infamous "Black Widow" four-wheel-drive, dual motor chassis. Jim would go on to produce a wide range of products from controllers and licensed bodies, to tires and wheels, all from a 6,000 square foot Los Angeles.

Released on June 23, 1987, the food truck themed Vanessa's Lunchbox ('squeals on wheels,' get it?) was an instant favorite among hobby grade RC aficionados. This 2WD monster van was competitively priced, and fun to drive, but sometimes quite challenging. Its top-heavy hard body van shell created a center of gravity, and the rigid rear axle also added to the problem. Coupled with its enormous tires and simple swing arm front suspension, handling was difficult, but it holds a place in the hearts of '80s kids everywhere.
