NSR Formula 22/26 Silver Special Livery no.4

The NSR Formula 22/26 Silver Special No. 4: modern formula, uncompromising performance

The reference NSR0653IL brings to the track one of the most complete 1/32 scale slot racing cars in the NSR catalogue. The Silver Special decoration with a chrome silver finish, matte black details, and fluorescent orange accents makes the #4 car as eye-catching on the track as it is off it. It’s not just aesthetics: beneath that body lies a mechanical setup designed for club competition and for those who demand the utmost from their slot car.

Features and highlights

• King Evo 21 motor at 21,400 rpm, with strong magnetic effect that enhances corner grip.
• Inline configuration: the motor is positioned longitudinally, in line with the rear axle, lowering the centre of gravity and providing a balanced weight distribution across the chassis.
• Medium hardness modular chassis with an independent motor mount, facilitating adjustment and maintenance.
• Transmission: 10-tooth pinion and 27-tooth crown gear in aluminium for smooth and progressive power delivery.
• 3/32" calibrated steel axles for high strength and precise rotation.
• Lightweight aluminium wheels secured with Allen screws to minimise vibrations at high speed.
• High grip tyres specifically designed for NSR single-seaters.

Scale and level of detail

The 1/32 scale body of the Formula 22/26 is inspired by the aerodynamics of contemporary single-seaters: sculpted side pods, a worked flat bottom, and a high-efficiency rear wing that is not just decorative but contributes to the model's stability. The weight has been minimised to keep the centre of gravity low, resulting in faster transitions and less tendency to slide in tight corners.

The Silver Special Livery is one of the most exclusive decorations from NSR: the mirror finish of the body creates a dynamic visual effect under track lighting, making this single-seater easily distinguishable among a pack of slot cars.

On-track behaviour

The Inline layout of the King Evo 21 motor is the reference choice for those prioritising smooth cornering and stability under braking. By positioning the motor longitudinally relative to the rear axle, the mass is distributed more symmetrically, and the car responds with greater predictability to sudden direction changes. The 10/27 gear ratio provides a good balance between exit acceleration and top speed, suitable for both technical circuits and layouts with long straights.

The braids and guide come factory calibrated, so the car is ready to run straight out of the blister with an already optimised base setup. Nevertheless, the modular structure of the chassis allows for fine-tuning of the tilting and easy replacement of components if a more personalised adjustment for the local track is desired.

Ideal for…

• Club racers looking for a competitive slot single-seater with a good base for adjustment.
• Collectors attracted to special edition decorations that are out of the ordinary.
• Enthusiasts wanting to enter the modern formula category at 1/32 with a complete car from the outset.
• Tuners wishing to use the NSR chassis and mechanics as a starting point for advanced setup.

Points to consider

This model features an Inline configuration (IL reference in the NSR0653IL code), designed for stable and predictable behaviour. If your driving style or track favours a livelier response with more torque at the start, NSR offers versions of the Formula 22/26 with different motor configurations; check the available references in our catalogue.

The chrome finish of the Silver Special body is sensitive to direct contact with other cars or track curbs, which is to be expected with any mirror decoration. Handle it carefully off the track to maintain its pristine appearance.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Inline configuration mean in this NSR Formula 22/26?

In the Inline configuration, the motor is mounted longitudinally, in line with the rear axle. This allows for a lower centre of gravity and a more balanced mass distribution compared to other configurations. The result is more stable and predictable behaviour in corners.

What track systems is this car compatible with?

As a 1/32 scale slot car with a standard NSR guide, it is compatible with the major track systems on the market: Scalextric, Ninco, Scaleauto, Carrera, and similar. Always check that the track width and guide type are suitable for your circuit.

Is this car suitable for club racing or just for recreational use?

The Formula 22/26 with King Evo 21 motor and modular chassis is clearly aimed at competition. It comes from the factory with a solid base setup and allows for fine adjustments, making it a highly valued option for both recreational sessions and club championships where modern NSR single-seaters are permitted.

Can the wheels and tyres be easily changed?

Yes. The lightweight aluminium wheels are secured with Allen screws, making their removal and installation straightforward without special tools. NSR offers a wide range of spare parts, including tyres of different compounds to adapt grip to various track types.

Is the chrome silver finish a limited edition?

The Silver Special decoration is part of NSR's special liveries, designed to offer a distinctive aesthetic within the brand's catalogue. Check stock availability, as these types of finishes often have smaller production runs than standard decorations.

Does the car come ready to run or does it require assembly?

The NSR Formula 22/26 Silver Special No. 4 arrives fully assembled and factory adjusted. It only needs to be placed on the track and started, although as with any competition slot car, it is recommended to check the guide, braids, and tyre pressure before the first session.
