Tyco/Mattel Chassis


The Tyco line of slot car products was recently acquired by the Mattel Toy Company. Mattel has discontinued most of the items previously listed in the Tyco catalog. Some of the first things to be dropped were track sections to make 4- and 6-lane raceways and the venerable HP 7 chassis.

Mattel renamed the Tyco product line Mattel Electric Hot Wheels and renamed the Tyco 440x2 chassis the 440x3. The new 440x3 chassis is essentially the same as the original 440x2 chassis with the addition of a small capacitor to reduce radio frequency interference to better meet European RFI regulations.

Looking for Tyco/Mattel track? See the Track page for the complete line of Tyco/Mattel track. A full line of Tyco Ready to Run (RTR) slot cars are available on the Cars for Sale page.

Tyco/Mattel Magnum 440x2

Tyco/Mattel Magnum 440x2 Chassis Diagram


The Tyco Magnum 440x2 chassis is the most recent release. Mattel acquired Tyco several years ago, but retained the 440x2 chassis and re-named it the 440x3. The only difference is a small capacitor on the motor brushes to reduce Radio Frequency Interference (RFI.)

The only major difference between the Magnum 440x2 and original Magnum 440 chassis is the rear traction magnet. A Magnum 440x2 chassis has a pair of traction magnets located behind the motor (hence the x2 designation) while the original Magnum 440 had a single bar magnet that ran the full width of the chassis.

    Tyco Magnum 440x2 Rolling Chassis

    Complete Tyco Magnum 440x2 Rolling Chassis are also available. These are complete running chassis, sans a body. All they require is any Tyco body shell to become a fully functional slot car.

    Sometimes it's cheaper to just replace an old worn out or damaged chassis with a new one than it is to purchase all of the repair parts required separately.

    Two versions of Tyco Magnum 440x2 Rolling Chassis are available. The Wide Pan chassis, for normal fendered slot car body shells, and the Narrow chassis for Formula 1/IndyCar style body shells.

    Tyco Magnum 440

    Tyco Magnum 440 Chassis Diagram


    The original Tyco Magnum 440 chassis was superceded by the Tyco Magnum 440x2. Most parts, aside from the chassis and rear traction magnet, are interchangeable. Body shells for the Tyco Magnum 440 chassis will also fit on the narrow version of the newer Tyco/Mattel Magnum 440x2 chassis.

    The Tyco Magnum 440 chassis has a single wide traction bar magnet at the rear that spans the entire width of the chassis, unlike the Tyco Magnum 440x2 chassis which employs two smaller traction magnets positioned directly above the track power rails.

    Tyco HP7

    Tyco HP7 Chassis Diagram


    The Tyco HP7 chassis is no longer being produced by Mattel, which is unfortunate because this particular chassis was very closely matched to the Tomy AFX Turbo chassis which is still in production. Body shells for the HP7 chassis will also fit on the wide version on the Magnum 440x2 chassis.

    Aside from the Tyco HP7 Tune-Up Kit and complete Tyco HP7 Rolling Chassis sold below, no other factory repair parts are currently available for the Tyco HP7 slot car chassis.

    A few Tyco HP7 Hop-Up parts are available however.


    Tyco HP7 Tune-Up Kit

    A Tune-Up Kit for the Tyco HP7 is available. It contains the most commonly needed replacement parts to repair a Tyco HP7 Chassis:

      Tyco HP7 Polymer Traction Magnet $9.99

    The HP7 Polymer Traction Magnet will improve the cornering and handling of any HP7 slot car chassis. The increased downforce will not effect motor performance and can still be used with set wall packs.

    The Polymer Traction Magnet and a pair of HP7 Black Silicone tires will breath new life into any Tyco HP7 slot car.



    Tyco HP7 Rolling Chassis

    A complete HP7 Rolling Chassis is still available. A Rolling Chassis is a complete running slot car chassis less the body shell.

    Due to the lack of spare parts for the Tyco HP7 slot car, this chassis and the Tune-Up Kit sold above are all that's left of the Tyco HP7 product line.
