Racemasters Mustang Boss 429 '70 - Orange MG+ HO Slot Racing Cars

The Ford Boss 429, a car built to compete with Chrysler's Hemi engine in NASCAR, was produced in limited quantities between 1969 and 1970. To satisfy the homologation rules requiring at least 500 cars be fitted with the Hemi motor, Ford manufactured 1,358 of these powerful vehicles. Officially rated at 375 horsepower, the Boss 429 was generally agreed to produce around 500 horsepower, a remarkable feat for its time.

The 1970 model, featured in this description, boasts the trademark oversized flat black hood scoop and Boss 429 logo on the front fenders. However, the high production costs and slowing sales ultimately led to the termination of the Boss 429's production at the end of the year. Despite its short-lived production, the Boss 429 has become a highly sought-after collector's item, with examples now selling for over $500,000.

The FN20 Advanced Power Unit, used in the latest AFX slot car models, is lighter, smoother, quieter, and more consistent than its predecessor, the Mega-G. It also uses 33% less energy, making it an efficient and high-performing power source.

The Mega G+ chassis, the newest addition to the AFX lineup, takes the realism and performance of HO slot cars to new heights. Compared to the competition, the Mega G+ is up to 35% lighter, with a narrower and lower profile for more realistic body fitment. The innovative Pick-Up Shoes are stronger and follow the rail better, ensuring consistent power delivery.

The Mega G+ also features the lowest center of gravity of all competitors, allowing for confident cornering. The Level 30 Neodymium Ground Effect Magnets keep the cars firmly glued to the track, providing an exhilarating and realistic driving experience.

To ensure long-lasting durability and consistent performance, the Mega G+ incorporates a Super Durable Nylatron material that provides just the right amount of flex, as well as High Carbon Power Unit Brushes that outlast their composite counterparts. Additionally, the Redundant Power Transfer System maintains a consistent power supply to the motor, improving both durability and drivability.

In summary, the Ford Boss 429 and the latest AFX Mega G+ slot car chassis showcase engineering excellence, with the Boss 429 being a powerful and iconic muscle car, and the Mega G+ delivering unparalleled realism, performance, and durability in the world of HO slot racing.
