Ninco Jaguar XK120 #39 Liege-Rome-Liege

The Ninco Jaguar XK120 #39 (reference number 50160) is a highly sought-after, classic 1:32 scale slotcar based on the historic rally car from the heavy-duty Liège-Rome-Liège Marathon (Liège-Rome-Liège). This model car belongs to the beloved "Ninco Classic" series and is known for its high degree of detail and nostalgic appearance. Main Features Unique Interior: Next to the driver is a navigator holding a real paper roadmap in his hands. Historical Design: Made in the iconic color Dark Racing Green with starting number 39 and equipped with various chrome details. Drive: This analog model is equipped as standard with a powerful NC-5 engine (and in some early productions the NC-1 or NC-8) placed in an inline or sidewinder setup. Driving Performance and Tuning Among slotcar enthusiasts, this Jaguar is known as a true collector's object, as the performance on the track out-of-the-box can be somewhat challenging: Too much power: The NC-5 engine provides a lot of power for this light, magnetless chassis. This can cause chatter (clapping) or a bouncing rear axle when pulling up hard. Tuning tips: To make it a fine racer, many hobbyists replace the engine with a milder type (such as an NC-1 or NC-8). In addition, it helps to reduce the clearance on the front axle and change it to softer rear tires for more grip on plastic or wood courts
