The Marlboro livery returns to the track on one of the most admired GT3s in the slot scene
Few cars generate as much visual impact on a slot circuit as a McLaren in the red and white colours of Marlboro. NSR knows this and, with the reference NSR0632AW, has applied that iconic decoration to the body of the McLaren 720S GT3, one of the most balanced and agile modern GTs in the category, both on real tracks and in 1/32 scale.
Features and highlights
- Scale: 1/32
- Body: McLaren 720S GT3, with faithfully reproduced front splitter, rear wing, and air outlets
- Decoration: Marlboro Red Livery, red base with white stripes and number 1
- Mechanics: Anglewinder — motor positioned at an angle to the rear axle, optimising weight distribution and improving exit traction
- Motor: King 21 Evo/3 at 21,400 rpm
- Reference: NSR0632AW
Scale and level of detail
The body reproduces the aggressive aerodynamic lines of the 720S GT3: the low and angular nose, the side air intakes, the exhaust vents over the rear wheel arches, and the imposing rear wing. The Marlboro livery, with its characteristic white angles on a red background, is applied with precision and reflects the aesthetics of the great racing cars from the golden years of endurance and speed racing. A model that is equally striking on a shelf as it is on the track.
Track performance
The NSR Anglewinder configuration places the motor at an angle to the rear axle, achieving a lower centre of gravity and a more homogeneous weight distribution, resulting in greater stability in corners and better acceleration response. The King 21 Evo/3 motor at 21,400 rpm provides a powerful and progressive power delivery, suitable for both club circuits with long straights and technical layouts with many consecutive curves.
The NSR chassis allows for tilt adjustments, enabling fine-tuning of the car's behaviour according to the type of track and competition conditions. The calibrated steel axles, machined aluminium wheels, and soft compound tyres complete a mechanical platform ready to perform from day one.
Ideal for…
- Collectors seeking the Marlboro decoration on a modern 1/32 scale GT
- Club racers competing in Modern GT categories who want a ready-to-run car with high preparation potential
- Slot enthusiasts who appreciate the combination of historical aesthetics and high-performance mechanics
Considerations
The King 21 Evo/3 motor is a unit with notable power delivery. If your circuit is small or you prioritise smooth driving over top speed, it may be advisable to adjust the tyres or the guide to tame that performance without losing agility. NSR offers a wide catalogue of spare parts and preparation components compatible with this model, facilitating the car's evolution and long-term maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
What track systems is this NSR McLaren 720S GT3 compatible with?
As a 1/32 slot car with a standard guide, it is compatible with the main track systems on the market, including Scalextric, Ninco, Carrera, and Scaleauto. It is advisable to check the factory-mounted guide and, if necessary, replace it with one specific to the track you use in your regular circuit.
What does it mean for the mechanics to be Anglewinder?
In a car with Anglewinder mechanics, the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle. This allows for a lower centre of gravity for the motor-transmission assembly and improves weight distribution, resulting in greater stability in corners and better traction on exit. It is a very popular configuration in slot racing GT competition cars.
Does it need running-in before using it in a race?
Like most slot cars with a brushed motor, it is advisable to perform some running-in sessions at moderate speed before demanding maximum performance from the motor. This helps settle the braids and bearings, extending the lifespan of the assembly.
Can I use this car in club competition categories?
Yes. The NSR0632AW is a model suitable for competition, although eligibility will depend on the specific regulations of each club or championship. The Anglewinder mechanics with the King 21 Evo/3 motor is a common configuration in mid-high level Modern GT categories.
What type of maintenance does it require?
Basic maintenance includes periodic cleaning of the guide's contact rail, checking the braids, and occasional lubrication of gears and axles. NSR provides specific spare parts for this model, facilitating any component replacement.
Can it be modified or prepared to improve its performance?
Absolutely. NSR is one of the brands with the largest preparation ecosystem in the slot world: crowns, pinions, tyres, alternative chassis, motors with different characteristics… The 720S GT3 is an excellent base for anyone looking to evolve the car step by step.
