Very cool true-to-HO scale 1963-1965 vintage Rasant Slot Cars. Navigates a Tomy equipped Tubtrack with ease. Runs similar to a smooth Faller but a bit heavier and more determined like. Great looking spun aluminum hubs all around with o-ring style rubber tires. Body easily comes off the chassis by an ingenious Atlas Zinger style tenant & joint mounting system. Wild looking turbine engine with heavy windings, resistor & copper springs. All this German engineering is topped off with a brass pinion worm gear with heavy brass & aluminum front AND rear end integrated chassis weighting! Oh yeah, did I mention that each body is die cast metal with a high-gloss enameled exterior paint job! Well detailed (hand painted?) chrome & red highlights. This is a very slick looking 40 year old NOS MIB slot & are very well sculpted to the original 1:1 car. The entire collection of different car/color schemed Rasants known to exist is only around 21!. The boxes stack very nicely & display exceptionally with //”RASANT” & a Road scene embossed on each box & a ‘Reinhard C Universal’ sticker in red on the end of the box. I sell them frequently to HO Train collectors as they look (& run) exceptionally scaled on a Train Layout. Very close to actual 1/64th scale. Sold as is with no reserve.
