HO Ford GT40 GT Heritage #98 (White) Mega G+ Slot Car (AFX22044)

The HO Ford GT40 GT Heritage #98 Mega G+ Slot Car is an exciting replica inspired by the #98 GT40 MkII, which was famously driven to victory by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby during the 1966 Daytona 24 Hour race. This model celebrates the 55th anniversary of Ford's remarkable win, showcasing a powerful homage to the rivalry between Ford and Ferrari in one of the most documented races in history.

This stunning supercar is designed with a carbon fiber hood, striking dark gold wheels, and bold asymmetrical race red accents that create a unique and eye-catching appearance. This slot car embodies both style and performance, making it a must-have for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

An interesting aspect of the GT40's design is the inclusion of historically accurate features, such as a verified paint scuff and a discolored roundel; the roundels were made from a special 3M material that required pop-rivets for attachment. Additionally, a story from Carrol Shelby reveals how the team used duct tape on the door handle, ensuring the car stayed intact at high speeds.

The Mega G+ chassis offers exceptional performance, being lighter, smoother, and more energy-efficient than the previous Mega-G models. It boasts the lowest center of gravity of all competitors, allowing for increased confidence when cornering. With pickup shoes that provide better traction and a durable power unit, this slot car ensures consistency and reliability during races.

With innovative features such as an extra-long tapered guide pin, a redundant power transfer system, and Neodymium ground effects magnets, the Mega G+ Slot Car delivers an unparalleled racing experience. This race system combines grip and speed, making it the ultimate choice for both beginners and seasoned slot car racers.
