History

Nothing beats the, world famous sports car, the Chevrolet Corvette. Designed by Zora Arkus-Duntov, the 3rd generation C3 body was patterned after the Mako Shark II designed in 1965. The C3 body was manufactured from 1968 through to 1982. Not only is the Corvette, one of the coolest looking American sports cars, it’s also one of the fastest. And able to run at 140 mph with little to no effort, specific tires were designed for corvettes to reliably sustain the car’s stability at high speed.

The ‘71 model year was the only one to offer the LS6 454 cubic inch big block engine with aluminum heads. This beast of an engine delivered 425 horsepower (though secretly this was far below the actual number).

AFX Collector Series - Clear

The AFX Clear Collector Series Cars feature, clear windscreens and detailed photo realistic interiors that really set these cars apart. AFX achieves this by moulding the whole body in clear plastic material and then painting over everything except the areas that should be clear. The result is a Car with a clear windscreen without the need for separate, bulky, glued in parts. A first in 1/64th scale.

And what do you see when you look through those clear windshields? Realistic printed color interiors. That’s right – seats, spare tires, carburetors, and whatever else was in the real car is in the interior. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes to the look of the car. And only AFX has it!

Mega-G+ Chassis

The Mega-G+ Chassis is a completely new chassis that sets a new standard in performance, detail and accuracy. It is not only faster and lighter, it also corners and handles better, and is more fun and easier to drive. The new Mega-G+ chassis has been completely re-designed from the ground up to be smoother, quieter, more durable. It is 5% lighter and uses 33% less electricity, and runs cooler than the original Mega-G chassis. The new Mega-G+ chassis makes it possible to create more stunning, accurate and realistic bodies than ever before, due to its long wheelbase, low center of gravity and narrow dimensions. Combine that with superb graphics, which uses up to 8 colours and you have set a new standard, in detail and accuracy for 1/64 scale cars.
