Formula 1 86/89 Beatrice 86 16

The 80s single-seater with NSR's racing DNA: Formula 1 86/89 Beatrice 86 16

King Evo3 motor: reference inline

The inline configuration positions the motor longitudinally, perpendicular to the rear axle, which helps lower the overall centre of gravity. The King Evo3 is one of the most valued motors from NSR for this family of single-seaters: it offers a speed of 21,400 rpm that allows for agile and progressive handling, suitable for both club tracks and more complex home circuits.

Scale and level of detail

The dimensions of the model —130 mm in length and 67 mm in width— are typical of the 1/32 scale, the standard commonly used in competitive slot racing. The 11 g body is carefully decorated with the Beatrice livery corresponding to the 1986 season, respecting the colours and sponsors of the team. NSR pays attention to every graphic detail to ensure the model is faithful to the original image of the single-seater.

Track performance

The chassis of the NSR Formula 1 86/89 family is designed to provide stability and direct response. The 90 mm wheelbase and the 95 mm distance between the rear axle and the guide provide a balanced geometry that enhances cornering traction. The King Evo3 motor in the inline position delivers power smoothly and controllably, facilitating both recreational driving and club racing.

Ideal for…

• Fans of historical 1980s Formula 1 looking for a faithful and well-documented model.
• Club competitors wanting a single-seater with a solid technical base and preparation possibilities thanks to NSR's extensive spare parts catalogue.
• Collectors who appreciate the Beatrice livery and single-seaters from this golden era.

Considerations

As is customary with NSR, the model comes factory-ready for the track, but if it is intended for club competition, it may be worthwhile to check the braid pressure and the condition of the tyres before the first sessions. NSR offers a complete catalogue of specific spare parts for this family of cars, making maintenance and tuning easier over time.

Frequently asked questions

What type of motorisation does this model have?

It features an inline configuration: the King Evo3 motor is positioned longitudinally, perpendicular to the rear axle. This allows for a lower centre of gravity compared to other configurations.

Is it compatible with Scalextric or Ninco tracks?

Yes. The standard NSR guide is compatible with universal track, so it can run without issue on Scalextric and Ninco tracks. For Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it), it may be necessary to change the guide for a specific version.

Can I find spare parts for this model?

NSR maintains a very comprehensive spare parts catalogue for the entire Formula 1 86/89 family: motors, crown gears, pinions, tyres, braids, and chassis, among others. This is one of the advantages of choosing a model from this brand.

Is it ready to run or does it require assembly?

The model arrives fully assembled and ready for the track. No prior assembly is required.

Is it suitable for club competition or just for recreational use?

It is valid for both uses. The King Evo3 motor at 21,400 rpm offers competitive performance, and the chassis allows for adjustments and tuning for those who want to take it to a more demanding level.
