Hello, I own Scalextric. But wonder about buying NINCO WICO. I drive only without magnets. GT cars and Camaros mostly.
I want NINCO because of better electric connection, quality and a bit wider track. But I will also drive on another track that is Scalextric.
People say it has so much grip, people also say Scalextric are like ice. I like Scalextric after you have trued your tires and some tuning, I like that you actually have to drive your car, brake and have the possibility to do nice powerslides, but if you do not true the tires, yes, it is very slippery. The electrical connection is not the very best though.
Now, HOW grippy is NINCO? I have not found an answer for this, just that the track is like Sandpaper, wears tires out, impossible to drift, and it is so grippy that the cars flip over in the turns. Now this sounds horrible to me, is it really that coarse and grippy surface? Sounds not fun at all.
Big part of the fun comes from tuning the cars for me. With stock tires. I do own Urethan tires and axle kits etc. and that is fun too, but in another fast way.
Another thing is the somewhat uncertain NINCO future, and ARC AIR seems like an maybe smarter way to go, but that NINCO track seems so much better, except if it has TOO much grip. I do have a lot af Scalextric track, more than I have room for. Carrera is too big, and even rarer than NINCO.
So in short, how much grip does it have, is it even possible to spin the tires at all?
