There are currently good stocks of spare parts. E-retailers and eBay sellers also offer new and new-old-stock cars. You can find these products in major retail toy and hobby shops. I personally favor the Tomy AFX brand for anyone new to the hobby/sport. Advanced racers find that each of the three chassis designs offer certain benefits on certain types of race tracks. Each line of cars has it’s own following. Wizzard’s line of cars are ‘brush-barrel’ timed like a Tyco 440 but with a one-piece chassis. Slottech’s cars are a bulk-head design chassis similar to the Tyco 440×2. Scale Auto’s product line is based off of the Tomy Super G Plus platform. They provide the high-performance end of the hobby. There are three independent manufactures of HO cars in the US. It is unclear how dedicated Mattel will be long-term to electric racing. Mattel currently offers a wide-pan ‘in-line’ chassis based on the Tyco 440×2 design. Most all of the bodies they offer will fit Auto World and older Aurora A/FX cars. Tomy AFX has concentrated their products on ‘in-line’ motor cars. Most of there products are based off of the older Aurora‘pancake’ motor chassis. Auto World offers a wide range chassis and body types. These brands span a wide range of price and quality. In the US there are several brands of HO slot cars.
