With
the rise in popularity of HO T-jet racing a number of small manufacturers have
produced many excellent products to make your Aurora Thunderjet 500 car go
faster, handle better and run smoother. In
an effort to provide ‘one stop shopping’ for the HO racing enthusiast I have
gathered some of the better parts and tools in one location for easier shopping.
Due to the limited availability of many of these parts you must call to
reserve your order before sending payment. Please
see the home page for phone number and times to call.

Bodies:
You may be surprised to see bodies under the heading of ‘handling’
rather than, say, ‘appearance’ for example.
Numerous tests by experienced racers have shown that the choice of body
definitely affects your cars handling. These
bodies have been recommended by top national t-jet racers as being among the
‘best handling’
