We do with the club I race with.
Wood track, stock tires, 2 words: "Oh Yeah!" Whether it be the LMP BMW's, JGTC cars, or whatever... it's good times with the Nincos. Matthew
Shelf queens...I've heard of those, but I bought it to race it, not look at it.

Im not a racer, but I just got the 997 ralley like in the review pic at the top of this page, it runs pretty nice but its the noisiest car I got and Im unsure
if it has a mag in it, it pretty much runs like a magless car on my track which is not a bad thing but I thought it was supposed to come with a magnet? I have
to check to see if there is one in there.

1. The Porsche has a magnet....Ninco mag's are not as powerful as other brands.

There's not much that can outrun a well tuned Ninco on a wood track other than slot it maybe. Kurt has a couple that blister his home track and the one at
Bullitt Speedway with not much tuning effort. They came that way straight out of the box. Porsche 997 and Lambo Gallardo I think. The Meganes are just a
blast when there's 4 on the track.

"There's not much that can outrun a well tuned Ninco on a wood track..........."
I'll confirm that. We've been running Slot.It tuned Slot.Its with the S2 tires for a couple years now. ProRace tuned NINCO anglewinders with NC6 motors and same S2 tires for about a year. NINCOs as fast as the Slot.Its. |

Ninco's on wood is good!! We have one club track that is wood and they are a kick!!
Anyone can restore a classic car, but it takes a real Hotrodder to cut one up and make it cool!

Non-mag in IHSR LMP/GT non-mag class, *no* NINCO car with a stock chassis pan has placed in the top 3 in any of the 11 rounds this season. Been all NSR
Moslers, Proslot Toyota GT1, Avant Slot Audis, Slot.it Saubers and Nissans, and some custom brass chassis cars, and a "Slinco" with a transplanted
Slot.it anglewinder pod cut and grafted into the NINCO chassis.
A well-set-up Ascari one of our competitors owns with pro-race components and a lot of work invested in it would likely podium but he ran it head to head with my NSR and found it a tick slower and I think he was pushing it a lot harder than he was letting on to me during practice. He's not run it in competition. Bob |
