SPEEDTRACK RPS 2000


RPS 2000 is the entry level Lanechanger set. Very basic and cost wise about the same price as a mid price Powertrack set.
This early 1978 photo is interesting because the crash barriers are a trial type and did not see production. Furthermore, the Porsche appears to be regular Matchbox 75 series car - with a tacked on rear spoiler, no wonder it's hiding behind the barrier. The Corvette was never a Lanechanger car but here is the Powertrack version complete with lights. Lanechanger cars, for all their sophistication and 10 volts do not have lights. I have to say the Corvette looks great here and it did eventually become a Powertrack Plus car in this guise - 4 years later!
The set featured in the 1979 catalogue has the Martini Porsche 935 and the Blue/Yellow Chevrolet Monza. Whether this was actually the case is open to offers, as this pairing is offered in all the US RPS sets.
