The Red Aurora Model Motoring Special Racing Oil lives on! OK, Lets go with Sherman and Mr. Peabody and hop in the Wayback Machine for a trip back to the early 60's. It's Christmas morning, and Santa has left you a shiny new Aurora Model Motoring ThunderJet 500 HO race set. Oh man, this is soooo neat. Dad helps you set it up, and you break out the cars to take your first laps, and wow, do they squeak! They need oil! Fortunately, Santa also left a little 1/3 ounce jar of Red Aurora Model Motoring Special Racing Oil, No.14-25, with that plastic stick in the cap, like the Service Manual shows. He knew you would need it. You oil up your new T-Jets, and now they run just fine. And that smell of Pancake Motors and Red Oil. MMMMMMMM! All right, back to the Wayback Machine, and now it's the late 90's. You found all your old HO slotcars in the attic, and remember how much fun it was. Set it all up again, and boy, oh boy, do those cars squeak again, and your bottle of red oil has only a little bit left. You want to get more, but it is no longer available. Late 1998, the supply of the original red oil dried up. Being the T-jet junkie that I was, I set out to re-create that classic red oil, and here it is. Thunder Oil Red Racing Oil. Has the look, the feel, the color, and most important, the smell of the original, but with the lubricating technology of today. Thick like the original, it stays where it is put. Won't thin out when hot, will not throw off or run all down inside the motor like lighter oils. The perfect replacement for the original Aurora Red Oil. Comes in a 1 ounce LDPE Plastic bottle, with a 1 inch long micro oiler needle. Once again, your T-Jets, will be happy, and MMMMMMMM, that smell! Lets not forget Atlas, or Eldon, or Bauer, or Faller, or Marx, or Lionel, or Matchbox, etc., and of course, AFX, G+, JL, and AW cars too! Over 2000 bottles have sold since Thunder Oil was introduced in August of 1999. Your satisfaction is guaranteed! Have been told by other slot addicts that Thunder Oil also works well on Tomy, Rokar/Lifelike and Tyco/Mattel cars as a gear lube, along with the larger scale cars. The Train hobbyists say the same, a great oil for the locomotive drive gears. Plus I have heard many stories of it's use on things other than just slots, and trains.
Thunder Oil red racing oil (tm) is available in: Drop Dispenser

For those of you who came looking for the parts room, I needed to make some decisions. Changes in my life now do not give me as much free time to devote to the store as I had before. Couple that with the declining availability of reasonably priced parts, and cooperatve vendors. There are also many other vendors now selling the same items I was.
I have also gotten away from T-jet racing, as it is today. I am not into sanding magnets, truing and balancing arms, and all the other directions the racing game has evolved to. Have gone back to the aspect of the hobby I enjoy most, the true "vintage" aspect, running my T-jets as they were back when I was a kid. True "box stock" running and racing. Yep, I'm a member of VASHOSCROF.
I will continue to produce Thunder Oil, and carry some of the items that were originally carried when Thunderboyz first started back in 1999, such as Thunderslicks, Thunderbrushes, along with select others. Quality items created by fellow slotters who also enjoy the box stock style.
For the racers out there, several vendors remain, I recommend Tom Bowman's BRP page at http://www.bat-jet.com/index.html
Parts listed below is what remains in stock, some are limited in quantity. As items sell out, the line will be deleted.
Thank you.
