Set-up Tips
All the Slot It cars can run very well on Ninco and are best in anglewinder configuration.
Remember that Ninco track has a raised rail so allow for this when preparing tyres. A car that is too low will cause problems.
Suspension is not essential but will not detract from car performance.
Slot it boxers work well as do similar Scaleauto derivatives but must be "closed can" for this round.
Gear ratio depends on motor choice but combinations 11/12 pinion and a contrate ranging from 26-30 is all you should need. Standard guide is perfect.
