Our take on the Auto World Gold Rush Go for the Gold HO Slot Car Set

The Gold Rush is an HO-scale analog slot car race set from Auto World with 18 feet of track laid out in a 67 by 35 inch figure. It stands out for its squeeze section, which lets cars drift together and pass, and for its gold-rush theme with cardboard stand-ups and guard rails. It runs on the Tomy, AFX and Auto World HO track systems, so it can be expanded with track most HO racers already own. It suits families and hobbyists who want a themed set that is easy to grow, though at 10 and up it is not a toy for young children.

Pros
  • 18 feet of track with a squeeze section for side-by-side passing
  • Compatible with Tomy, AFX and Auto World HO track
  • Includes power pack, guard rails, track supports and cardboard stand-ups
  • Analog system keeps setup and wiring simple
  • Themed gold-rush look stands out from plain race sets
Cons
  • Assembly required before first race

Questions and answers

Is this set compatible with my old AFX or Tomy track?
Yes. It uses the standard HO track system shared by Auto World, AFX and Tomy, so you can join it to track you already own.
Does it need batteries?
No. It runs from the included power pack plugged into a wall outlet.
How much space does the layout need?
The full layout measures about 67 by 35 inches, so plan for a table or floor area at least that size with room to walk around.
Can two people race at once?
Yes. It is a two-lane analog set, so each driver controls one car on their own lane.
Can I add digital lane changing?
No. This is an analog set, so lane changes and multi-car digital racing are not supported without switching to a digital system.
What is in the box?
Track sections, a power pack, two cars, guard rails, track supports and cardboard stand-ups. Assembly is required.
