Default ninco carts

interested in giving them a try, but cant find any whenever I search the usual e bay and so on...two questions..do they run at all well or are they really not worth chasing, and does anybody have some to sell?..am thinking to try the cars then work up a brass chassis version...

thanks

They run pretty well on my small Sport track. They have two very small magnets near the back, but they drive similar to non mag cars. They are very wide and short, which makes them slightly twitchy, but run well once you get used to them. The unfared ones have lower gearing (black?) than the ones with fairings (red?), but neither have much top speed. They both use HO sized motors.

If you can find some buy them. They are alot of fun on a casual night of racing to throw on the track and let everyone have at them. Not real fast,but they also don't really crash....they just slide around. Get some silicone tires for them also (Indy Grips I think)

Default They like...

....a couple more volts, so if you are used to running at 10 or 11 volts, bump your power supply up to 12 or 13. They are a hoot to run.

I have four of them in the lane colors for IROC racing at 18 volts at our local club. They are a hoot to run and will lap at the same lap times as no mag Fly Classics.

They all have small fairings, I meant the ones with wings are slightly higher geared with the red gears.

The ones with the big wings are the "super Karts"

I run mine with urethane tires on wood, power at 15 volts. They are fun, getting hard to find. Ninco should make some more. Axles are knurled, smaller than most and easy to bend. The parts are a bit delicate so be careful if you decide to "breathe" on them a bit.
