      Chassis designs through the years

This page covers the various chassis produced by TYCO over the last 30 + years, AFX and Tomy. Shown here are just the slotted type chassis. There were also several incarnations of slotless chassis that TYCO produced. While most changes were made in the name of increased performance, some were for cost reasons to keep the overall slotcar price points competitive.
