======= AURORA THUNDER JET 1963 =======
In 1963 the Aurora Thunder Jet was launched onto the slotcar public to take the place of the trouble prone Aurora Vibrator car. Although the Aurora vibrator car was trouble prone it went on to sell 1.5 million cars in a three year span from 1960 to 1963. The ThunderJet had a new fresh design with an innovative flat- commutator ("pancake") motor. The car was a instant hit ! Faller (Germany) produced it for sale in Europe, and competing companies tried in vain match the speed and reliability of Brand's design. The Thunder Jets and their improved versions, the AFX, sold in the tens of millions, completely dominating the HO market for almost a decade.
