NINCO Cobra Redby Wingless Wonder, Wednesday, April 9, 2008 22:42Fast Facts:Weight: 77 grams Stock Magnetic Downforce: 77 grams (1.00 magnifier) Motor: NC-2 18,100 RPM (14.8V) Classic sports cars are fun to drive, and this one's also a bit of a classic as a slot car. Even so, I've long been a fan of NINCO cars, and felt like adding a classic to my collection. The Cobra is a good choice. It's a nice looking car, with plenty of personality. My only concern was the somewhat potent NC-2 motor. I tested the car on the Magnet Marshal and confirmed my suspicions: no magnets. Nice skinny tires, no magnets, potent motor. I'd be crazy to try to run this on a track, right? Well, I did it anyway. Sadly, nothing came of it, as the car just spun its tires around so much it would hardly go straight, much less turn! It was time to do some work.
