Ninco Corvette GT3 #3 N1 series

Ninco Corvette GT3 #3 N1 series

One trial lap and excellent condition

These cars were issued by Ninco were designed as entry-level cars for beginners. They feature crash resistant bodies and minimal/lightweight interiors.

Most come with a low-power, low torque N1 (not to be confused with NC1 or NC8) motor which runs at 125000 rpm at 14.8 volts.

The cars were not a commercial success on release which came close to the end of Ninco's slot car-producing days.

In part, that was because they were meant to complement the Ninco digital system which also proved less popular than those manufactured by Scalextric, Carrera and (the high-end) Slot-IT systems.

Despite all these drawbacks, they are a both a good entry-point car and can be run as a sturdy and appealing club class.

I'm now selling off the majority of N1 cars that remain unrun in my collection to make way for other stock.

This car was one that I listed before checking to see if the plastic pinion was sound. In a couple of cases, including this one it wasn't. I've now relisted the car with the faulty plastic pinion replaced with a genuine Ninco 10 tooth metal pinion.

I've tested the car and its now an excellent runner.
