FORMULA 22/26 ROSSO FUOCO 16 LIVERY IL KING 21K

Il King on fire: the NSR Formula 22/26 with Rosso Fuoco livery and 21K motor

NSR continues to expand its line of Formula 1 single-seaters with one of the most eye-catching releases from the Formula 22/26 collection: the Rosso Fuoco 16 Il King livery. A bright red, number 16, and visual references to the legendary nickname "Il King" create a decoration that stands out both on the shelf and on the track. Inside, the same technical demands that characterise NSR in each of its models.

Features and highlights

• Formula 22/26 body: aerodynamic design of a modern single-seater, clean lines and proportions faithful to the 1/32 scale.
• 21K inline motor: longitudinal configuration that keeps the centre of gravity low, enhancing corner stability and providing precise throttle response.
• Rosso Fuoco 16 – Il King livery: fire red decoration with number 16, high-definition finishes typical of the NSR range.
• Reference: NSR0563IL.

Scale and level of detail

The NSR Formula 22/26 is manufactured in 1/32 scale, the most widely used standard in the competitive and collectible slot world. The paint and decoration finishes follow NSR's usual level: precise masks, solid colours, and a presentation that makes this model an attractive piece even for those who simply display it.

Track performance

The 21K motor in inline configuration —that is, with the motor longitudinally positioned relative to the rear axle— is one of NSR's standard references for club use and medium-high level competition. It offers a good balance between power and controllability, making it suitable for racing on both analogue tracks and compatible digital setups.

The architecture of the NSR chassis for Formula 1 single-seaters, with well-designed front and rear suspension, ensures that the car faithfully transmits the controller's inputs and keeps the guide in the slot even during sudden changes of pace.

Ideal for…

• Club drivers looking for a proven performance F1 slot car with a distinctive visual identity.
• Collectors of the NSR Formula 22/26 range completing the series with special liveries.
• Enthusiasts wanting a car ready to run without the need for prior preparation.

Aspects to consider

As with all NSR models, the availability of spare parts —tyres, braids, guides, crown gears, pinions, and motors— is well covered in the catalogue, facilitating long-term maintenance and customization. If you plan to compete with it regularly, it is advisable to check the condition of the braids and tyres before each session.

Frequently asked questions

What does "inline" mean in the motorisation of this NSR?

Inline indicates that the motor is oriented longitudinally relative to the rear axle, that is, in line with the car. This arrangement lowers the centre of gravity and enhances stability, especially on tracks with many fast corners.

Is it compatible with Scalextric and Ninco tracks?

Yes. NSR models come with a standard guide compatible with universal track, the same used by Scalextric and Ninco, so you can run it without adaptations on those systems.

Can I use this car on a digital setup?

The car comes factory-configured for analogue track. The adaptation to digital depends on the specific system; check the compatibility of the chip with the NSR Formula 1 chassis before installation.

Is NSR available with a good range of spare parts for this model?

Yes, NSR is precisely one of the brands with the greatest coverage of spare parts in the 1/32 slot market: braids, guides, tyres, crown gears, pinions, and motors have their own references and are usually in stock at specialised distributors like Ministry of Hobby.

What motor does it use exactly and what performance does it offer?

It uses an NSR 21K motor in inline configuration. The "21K" value refers to the revolutions per minute at which the motor operates under standard voltage, placing it in a performance range suitable for club competition and demanding recreational use.
