Went Karting for the first time the other week, was great fun, so now I would like to add Ninco Karts to my slot racing fun.

I have already read that others who have tried ninco's offerings find them a lot of fun, but I have a question:

I plan to get just 2, and I would like them to be competitive with each other. Do all nincos karts run the same? or are some (newer models maybe) a bit or a lot faster? Ideally I would like to get 2 that look really different, but if that means one will always win, I will get 2 similar styled ones. Any suggestions?

Cheers

There's always the possibility, or is it likelyhood...that one will have a hotter moter than the other. I bought the Ninco Karting set, and one is clearly the faster of the two. They are still lots of fun on a technical track.

I like the Super racing karts. The HP (Williams livery) and the Bridgestone (BAR livery) look very different, yet similar, if you know what I mean... Although, I heard the originals were faster round a track, but they look boring... Your choice!

cheers ppl, I was thinkin of a bridgestone one paired with an older one. So the thinking is the older ones may be faster, but they vary a lot from kart to kart (just like in real life)

I don't think they vary any more than any other slot car, but between the different versions it is distinguishable. Hope this helped...

There are 2 newer Super carts that are clearly faster...they have a different gear than the rest of the carts. I know the HP is one of them..the other one is mostly white with some olive green and red on it?

The better geared axels are also available from Pendle so you can upgrade the older carts as well.

Thanks turbo, I will look into gears as well

There has been some debate about which is best (different coloured gear wheels, etc) as we race them at Farnham, but to be honest it does not appear to make much difference.
