NSR FORMULA 22 TEST CAR WHITE

The NSR Formula 22 Test Car White: speed, precision, and the perfect canvas for any livery

The NSR Formula 22 Test Car White (reference NSR0323IL) is NSR's 1/32 scale Formula 1 single-seater in its "test car" version, featuring a neutral glossy white finish that competition teams are well acquainted with when they need to prepare, adjust, and validate the car before deciding on the final decoration. Produced in April 2023, it comes standard with the inline King Evo3 motor at 21,400 rpm, one of the most valued power units in NSR's 1/32 scale catalogue.

Features and highlights

• Inline King Evo3 motor: longitudinal configuration (in line with the rear axle), lowering the car's centre of gravity and improving cornering stability. At 21,400 rpm, it offers a smooth and progressive response, ideal for both recreational driving and club racing.
• GLOSS finish: the white body in glossy varnish comes from the factory with a smooth and uniform finish, perfect for applying decals or repainting with any custom livery.
• 2023 production: launched in April 2023, within NSR's Formula 22 line.
• Formula 22 body: modern formula single-seater silhouette, with the characteristic aerodynamics of flat-bottomed cars and a pronounced rear diffuser.

The inline King Evo3 motor: why it matters

NSR is an Italian brand recognised for the precision of its motors and the quality of its internal components. The King Evo3 is a neodymium magnet motor in inline configuration (the motor is perpendicular to the rear axle, that is, longitudinal with respect to the car), which concentrates mass on the central longitudinal axis and reduces pitching during acceleration. With 21,400 rpm at no load, it delivers sufficient torque to smoothly drive the crown gear and rear axle, without sharp peaks that hinder control in tighter corners.

This motor is designed for universal track systems (Scalextric, Ninco) and Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it), provided it is combined with the appropriate guide and braids for each system.

Track performance

An NSR formula single-seater with an inline King Evo3 motor has a balanced character: it is not the most aggressive motor in the catalogue, but it is one of the most consistent. On fast circuits with few chicanes, the car flows naturally. On more technical tracks, the stability of the inline allows for adjustments to the guide and weight distribution without the motor penalising the result. For those looking to take it a step further, NSR offers an extensive range of spare parts —crown gears, pinions, tyres, chassis— to fine-tune the setup to the limit.

Ideal for…

• Collectors looking for a white base to customise with their favourite team's livery or their own design.
• Club competitors wanting an NSR formula car ready to prepare from scratch.
• Slot enthusiasts wishing to explore the setup and tuning of 1/32 single-seaters without starting from a fixed decoration.

Things to consider

As a "test car" version, the body does not include team decoration or sponsors. This is exactly what makes it interesting: it is a blank canvas. If you plan to repaint it, the gloss finish accepts a layer of primer well before applying paint (Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido are common references in the hobby). If you are going to apply decals directly, the factory shine facilitates subsequent sealing with satin or gloss varnish.

Frequently asked questions

What track systems is the NSR Formula 22 compatible with?

The car comes with a standard NSR guide, compatible with universal track (Scalextric, Ninco) and Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it). It is advisable to check the width of the guide according to the system you use on your circuit.

What type of motor does it have and what does "inline" mean?

It has the King Evo3 motor in inline configuration, meaning the motor is positioned longitudinally with respect to the rear axle (perpendicular to the axle, in line with the car). This lowers the centre of gravity and improves cornering stability compared to other configurations.

Can I repaint the white body?

Yes. The gloss finish is an excellent base for customisation. It is recommended to apply a layer of primer before painting, especially if you are going to use modelling acrylic paints. Brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido yield very good results on slot car bodies.

Is it a competition car or a collector's item?

It can be both. The white "test car" version is common among collectors who want a different or customisable piece, as well as among competitors who prefer to prepare the car from a neutral base without paying for a decoration they are going to modify.

What spare parts does NSR have available for this model?

NSR has one of the most comprehensive spare parts catalogs on the market in 1/32 scale: crown gears, pinions, front and rear tyres, chassis, braids, guides, and alternative motors. Most are directly compatible with the Formula 22 platform.

Does the car come assembled and ready to run?

Yes, the NSR Formula 22 Test Car White is delivered assembled and ready to place on the track. Just connect it to the corresponding rail to start running.
