NSR Porsche 917/10 Update

 I don't believe I've done a proper post about these cars yet. Maybe a little bit here and there, but I'm probably not putting enough emphasis on just how great these cars are. The NSR Porsche 917/10:

When I got my first of these cars, I was very impressed with the balance and quick reacting rear end. I lump them all together in this post because they're so similar that there is pretty much no difference between them but livery and color. 

One noticeable feature are the huge, meaty rear tires. These are way larger than pretty much any of the other NSR Porsches. 

Meaty tires makes for great grip and acceleration. I say bring it.

The NSR tires are fantastic and go very nicely on the Tire Truer. Once initially tuned, you can count on them to run for a very long time. If you're a weekend racer, you'll love these cars. Great balance that doesn't give anything else up to get it. Not as twitchy as the 908. Handles better than the 917. Would race competitively against either, as well as most cars in Classics categories. 

The whole gang.

Real quick......

The L&M cars:

I had this car in HO format when I was a kid. Had to get it again.

So far it's been a little back and forth between these two regarding who is ready and who still needs work. They both seem great sometimes, good most of the time.

The Bosch racer:

This car is such a stud. It just kicks ass. Does it being freakin yellow, too.

I love the Bosch Porsche. I know all these cars are pretty much the same, but once you get to tuning them, you notice differences in how the cars react and perform. It's crazy but cool. This car was so impressive when I took it out of the box. Still runs incredibly well and keeps getting faster. 

The Jager Porsche

Part of the fledgling Team Jagermeister along with a Ford Escort [I think this has the Escort beat]. 

I find modern slotcars these days to be extremely well made and reliable. Yes, they may be built differently, but as long as they're built well, they can be raced. The 917/10 setup NSR has made is very nice indeed. You can't go wrong with it. The Jager car is going to be tearing it up come trackday. 

The Uniroyal Porsche

Emerson Fittipaldi drove this one. Yes, this slot car. He shrunk down and drove it.

While the Uniroyal car might not look as flashy as the others, I think it's the perfect companion to the other ones. The liveries of these cars have bright, solid colors that are very nice to look at and make finding your speeding car on the track easy. 

These cars come with the 21.5 Shark sidewinder motor. The are a perfect competition car for the Classics / Le Mans classes.
