Autoworld any good? - SlotForum
Nov 16, 2015 · In my opinion slot racing is not just about cars with blinding speed. A modern HO car with a lot of magnetic downforce is certainly going to be faster than one that was sold in the '60s and early "70s and the Auto World pancake cars are clones of those. The Aurora cars had good quality control, the Auto World cars (originally Johnny Lightning ...
