Mega-G+ 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am HO Slot Car

The AFX 1970 Firebird TransAm in white is a striking replica of one of America's most iconic muscle cars and the first TransAm ever to be issued by Pontiac. With a clean white painted body, authentic 5-spoke Rallye II wheels, and vibrant blue racing stripes, the AFX car faithfully captures the bold, aggressive style of the TransAm.

The 1970 model year was the second generation of the Firebird, boasting a radical new body. Tooling and engineering problems delayed the second gens release and earned it the moniker the ‘70 1/2. It offered a range of subtypes, including the Espirit and the Formula, and an array of engines from a 250 cid six-cylinder to the powerful 400 cid V8 with Ram Air intake. 

AFX honors this automotive legend with a model that blends historic accuracy and modern slot car technology. Designed for speed and stability, the 1970 TransAm features the AFX Mega G+ chassis, ensuring it handles flawlessly on even the most demanding tracks. Whether you're racing or displaying it, the AFX 1970 Pontiac Firebird TransAm delivers both performance and a touch of nostalgia, making it an essential addition to any HO scale collection.

Mega G+ CHASSIS

This new Mega G+ chassis doesn’t just go faster or handle better than the competition. And it doesn’t just have the ultra-low, narrow dimensions of the original Mega G to continue the reign of the most realistic HO cars on earth. It’s smoother, more consistent, and more intuitive than any car we’ve ever built.

We wanted wheel to wheel racing, lap after lap, the feel of driving a real car. But we couldn’t do it by just changing the chassis. We had to create a whole new system…
