New Car: NSR Porsche 908/3 Escuderia Tibidabo Le Mans ''74

 The first birthday car this year comes in the form of an NSR Porsche 908:

Say it....Escuderia Tibidabo.

I'm going to go ahead and tell you how good this car is before I even race it. That is how much trust I have in NSR that they've got another screamer on their hands. As anybody who has read anything on here would know, I think that the NSR 908 is one of the best high performance slot cars you can buy. Not just for the build quality, which is always top-notch, but the shape and design of the actual 1:1 car and how, as it translates into a slot car, becomes dominant due to its short nose and tail, low slung tub body and noticeable lack of extra crap attached to slow it down. 



This is, I think, my 5th Porsche 908. I'm going to do a post breaking down each of the cars, not only to show the differences, but to also show just how similar they are. 

21.5k Shark motor, very tunable pod and ingredients, and lightning fast and smooth right out of the box.

 

Another car guaranteed to stand out on the racetrack. 

As far as the livery goes, I like it, but it's not my favorite. It's fun and a little bit chaotic. From the black trim that appears and disappears at random around the white sideways stripe, making the car's number look like "1311" to the "lights", it's got a more thrown-together-for-race-day look to it. Sponsored, yet no major sponsor. Cool. 


the way most of the other cars on my track will see this car
