AFX’s rendition of the famous GT40 MkIV in a red #1 livery driven by Gurney and Foyt in 1967.
Historical Detail: note the large three-eared knockoffs on the wheels in different colors. Those on the left side of the car are anodized red, the right side blue. Since the left and right hubs have opposite threads ("offside undo"), the knockoffs were color-coded for quick identification. The knockoffs seem like an atavism now, not to mention an imprecise method to secure the wheels on a 220-mph race car, but that's how it was done in 1967.
CHASSIS TYPE: Mega G+ SHORT Wheelbase Chassis (1.5″)

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.
