I love this track!!! I will be getting myself one as soon as I get some extra money!!? God bless you all today Shalom
I just ordered this set from you on friday i’m just waiting for you to ship it! I cant wait you still putting a free car in the box
Thank you so much for your order! We did stop that free car event BUT I believe you contacted us before we shipped it and we added it to your order :D
a little late to the party, but that looks like fun. did a lot of oval and road courses 20 years ago.
You're gonna do the same thing I would with your "Sample" Snake & Mongoose set! You big KID!!
Just picked one up just getting back into slot cars
It's great you and your brother working together.
Yes it is awesome! Sometimes
At 62 I still like most of the same stuff I did at 12 .
yea me too cheers
Same here
I’m 25 living like I’m 12 forever
I’m 25 living like I’m 12 forever
same here...62 and I just bought a new slot car set...The Scalextric Ginnetta Racers. Grandson and I had fun racing on my birthday!
14 feet is more like a 1: 8 mile drag strip than a quarter mile wich is about 21 feet
Ii agree - Auto World product is quite good. I've been happy with every car I"ve got so far.....
Great review, man.
Much appreciated!

I've got this set and the auto world return track I'm looking fo4 some funny cars or railcars
Would be great if they had the haulers for these cars as slot car rigs as well as the cars
I wish.
Thay have haulers for the snake and mongoose 2 set at autoworld
@@thercenthusiast Those are diecast, it would be cool if they made a version that would run on the track.
Even equipment is a flamethrower
They make VW Buses for this set now
I'm getting this one next!!!
Are they on the market now
Got it. 13 ft of track.
Hey guys and Gals, I got one of these 1/4 mile cars, it seems the dilly that goes into the slot to keep in the track is a bit long for my Tyco Track? and on the curved banks it hangs up some, I thinking it's the dilly I mention or the ladder bars in back
Ohhh have you been able to make some modifications to it to help?
The slot guide may be too long, I trimmed them down to fit Tyco track.
@@blkft same here
So cool . I want one
Hey it's the SCX guy how you doing new subscriber great video
Thank you so much! Glad you found us we are a bunch of new great stuff
I had bought three different sets of AutoWorld drag strips a few years ago. All three had defects. I’ve searched for better, but didn’t find much. Have they improved the quality recently?
I’ve been told all HO cars are compatible with each other. Can I use any brand ho slot car with this track? If so I will definitely make a purchase!
Yes all ho cars can be used on all ho tracks
You may have already received a answer. It depends on the ohms of the slot car motors and the controllers. The newer AFX/Tomy G Plus cars use a can type motor and require a higher ohm rated controller. They can be uncontrollable on non AFX track/controllers.
I have some older Tyco track sets and some of the AW cars are sensitive to the Tyco controllers.
@@blkft great to know! Thank you!
@@blkft what exactly do you mean uncontrollable? Just a straight line down the track? Just wondering.
@@lowercentenary If your just drag racing on a straight track then I guess it will be advantage?
The lower the ohms the less resistance the higher ohm's more resistance (water thru a garden hose vs water thru a fire hose).
The trigger becomes too sensitive or power,,, full power comes on too fast or instantaneously rather than gradually thru the trigger sweep.
And vice versa, I never tried a non AFX car (non can type low ohm) with the newer AFX controllers (high ohm).
I am guessing it will be a long trigger sweep before the car begins to move,,, and be real sluggish?
How.r.u.how.much.for.the.snake.and.mongoose.track.set
has anybody made a foot pedal control for this instead of a thumb control?
Thats a good question!
@@ProTinkerToys and make it a digital track with reaction times displayed.
I'm sold
Did you get it yet?
I found one w/Pro Stocks, one of them was Allen Johnsons Dodge. Should've bought it, didn't, kicked myself afterwards. The place that had them closed.
Hi Brian! How ar3 the start and finish line light’s powered? Batteries?
Yes, they are powered with batteries. It uses 6 AA batteries.
Is that set 13' long?
Since this track is battery powered are the cars different. Or can you run your circle track cars on this track if you wanted to?
The cars are not battery powered . the Christmas tree and finishline are. The cars are powered by the transformer he showed at the beginning . So yes any HO scale car will work.
The newer AFX can motor cars may have a issue on AW track sets, they require a higher ohm controller. It may be a benefit on this drag track due to the low ohm controllers. But on other AW race sets they may be uncontrollable.
Do other bodies fit on the interior?
Some do yes
The Dodge van body (orange with black stripe,) would look awesome on that chassis.
Do y'all have a review of the new one?
good stuff
Want to order a set soon from you my friend
If you’re in the business of “demoing” please do so in its entirety.
Is the christmas tree the same cadence everytime or does it randomly do different timing?
I think it does the same, this is Ryan, But Bryan would know
Do you still sell the snake mongoose dragstrip set I am in aust how much to purchase and freight
149 + 10 shipping
@@ProTinkerToys 149 for the set aust dollars?freight to aust Bundaberg area?
Hi how much

Extremely bad post ! His name is Tom not John ! he's a freaking legend ! also funnycars don't have "MUFFLER'S" no price? can you get the cars without track ? is it a standard AW chassis / spare parts ??? you show absolutely zero on the wireing / setup !
No mufflers, side pipes.....
Correct! thanks for the correction

Can you do a video explaining the differences between the AW HO cars? I'm brand new to the hobby, and cannot figure it out for the life of me
How old are you ?
You just wasted 16 minutes of my life, l want to watch the cars run and decide if they are worth it
That is funny
I would love to buy it just to collect the set.but what is the cost.I don't want to race the cars.I figured maybe about 200.00 dollars.?
Its on sale for $149! even better. You could race other cars and just keep those for collecting here is a link, protinkertoys.com/products/snake-vs-mongoose-13-pro-racing-dragstrip-ho-scale-auto-world

Did you not know who these guys are? You didn’t pronounce there names correctly!!! Just wondering?
