Thirteen years later, Salvatore Noviello is still present in every curve
When NSR decided to celebrate the 13th anniversary of the passing of its founder, the choice was clear: the car with which it all began. The Mosler MT900R is the most awarded model of the modern era of competitive slot racing in 1/32 scale, and this special edition NSRSET23AW also makes it a meaningful object. The pink livery, Salvatore Noviello's personal colour, and the legend "Forever with us" alongside his signature on the side make this model more than just a car: it is a collective tribute from an entire community to the one who made it possible.
Design and livery: the pink that says it all
The vibrant pink features a decoration where the white details and the black rear wing with the NSR logo in red create a striking and elegant contrast. The race number 64 completes a commemorative livery that has already earned collector's status in the secondary market since the first day of its release. The silhouette of the MT900R, with its sharp nose, wide rear wing, and low profile, remains an aesthetic and aerodynamic reference within modern GTs in 1/32.
Highlighted technical features
NSR has not sacrificed an ounce of competitiveness in this tribute. The NSRSET23AW comes equipped with the combination that best defines the brand's philosophy:
- King 21 Evo/3 motor: one of the most powerful and balanced engines in the NSR catalogue, capable of performing at the highest level on both speed and endurance circuits.
- Anglewinder configuration: the motor is positioned at an angle relative to the rear axle, allowing for a low centre of gravity and optimal weight distribution for fast corners and late braking.
- Aluminium wheels: greater rigidity and precision in power transmission to the ground than conventional plastic wheels.
- Calibrated steel axles: minimal tolerances for vibration-free rotation and direct throttle response.
- High-grip tyres: NSR formulation that maximises traction without compromising durability.
- Adjustable chassis with adjustable tilt: allows adapting the car's behaviour to the demands of each track and driver.
Track behaviour
The Mosler MT900R is known among club and federated competition drivers for its stability in fast corners and its ability to maintain top speed on long straights without losing grip. The Anglewinder configuration distributes weight in such a way that the car rotates naturally, without abruptness, making it accessible for developing drivers while also capable of responding to the finer adjustments required by an expert driver. The standard NSR guide ensures a firm contact with the track, preventing unnecessary exits during the most aggressive direction changes.
Ideal for…
- Collectors looking for limited editions with history and meaning behind every detail.
- Competition drivers wanting a car ready to win straight out of the box, with no need for additional preparation.
- Slot enthusiasts who know NSR's trajectory and want a representative piece of its legacy.
- Those seeking a gift with emotional weight within the Italian slot community.
Aspects to consider
This is a numbered special edition. As a competition model with high-performance components, it is designed for tracks with standard rail compatible with the NSR guide. Like any NSR car, access to spare parts — motor, tyres, wheels, axles, braids — is one of the brand's advantages: NSR maintains one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date spare parts catalogues on the market in 1/32 scale.
Frequently asked questions
Does the King 21 Evo/3 motor come pre-installed from the factory?
Yes, the car arrives fully assembled and ready for the track. NSR factory assembles all its models in the Set range, including motor, wheels, tyres, and guide.
What does the Anglewinder configuration mean exactly?
In the Anglewinder configuration, the motor is positioned at an angle relative to the rear axle of the car. This allows for a lower centre of gravity than in a classic Sidewinder and optimises weight distribution, improving cornering stability.
Is it compatible with Scalextric or Ninco tracks?
The Mosler MT900R NSR uses a standard guide, compatible with universal rail (Scalextric, Ninco) and other common systems. If in doubt about compatibility with your specific circuit, consult your track specifications.
Can it be tuned or prepared for federated competition?
Absolutely. The adjustable chassis and the wide availability of NSR spare parts make this model an excellent base for competitive preparation. Club and championship drivers often work on this same chassis with fine tuning modifications.
Is it a limited edition? Will there be more units available?
Yes, the NSRSET23AW is a commemorative special edition. The units are limited by nature as it is a specific tribute; once sold out, no restocking is planned.
Is it a car suitable for beginners?
The MT900R is a competition car with high-performance components. It works perfectly on home tracks but is clearly aimed at drivers with some experience who want to take advantage of its potential. A beginner can enjoy it, although it may require an adjustment period to the King 21 Evo/3 motor.
