Ninco Slot Cars

Ninco

At the end of December 1993 Ninco released its first slot car. The Renault Clio got a warm welcome from the slot car enthusiasts. After the release of two other types, the DTM (German Touring Car Championship) Alfa Romeo 155 and AMG Mercedes 180-C, nine slot cars were available. In 1996 the first release of the Ninco classic-series is the Ferrari 166-MM.

Ninco Lexus SC43

Slot car brand Ninco has made another model from the popular Japanese GT championship. Earlier Ninco produced the Honda NSX, Toyota Supra and the Nissan 350Z. The Lexus SC430 is the right car that fits to this line of cars.

Ninco standard controllers

If you compare the standard controllers of all makes you conclude that the standard controllers of Ninco are the best. I like the feel of Ninco's standard controllers over Scalextric's for example. Ninco's 70-Ohm controllers have a built-in braking system. The expensive Vario 16 of Ninco, available from 1999, is according to my opinion not the best there is. I think that most experienced slot car racers prefer Parma controllers above all.

Ninco Digital

The digital slot car system of Ninco has been released at the end of 2006. The other slot car brands were already on the market with a digital system at that moment. The expectations were very high. Ninco did a good job, but sadly did not manage to release a system without technical failures.

Classic Ninco slot car

The Austin Healey Mk. III is a fantastic choice for people who like to collect all kinds of slot cars. Ninco is one of the few manufacturers that have the guts to release models that are not meant for race events. I hope that Ninco will continue this excellent series of Classic cars for many years.

After the release of the Mercedes CLK DTM "Original-Teile" in 2001 the moment has come to compare this car to the Ninco Mercedes C-class, that has been released in 1994.

Ninco 2001 - 2002

Ninco kept us waiting a long time for the new catalogue. It took Ninco until 2002 to publish a brochure about the products of 2001. It was worth waiting for.
