Corvette C6R KIT

The pleasure of building your own NSR Corvette C6R piece by piece

There is a special satisfaction in putting a car on the track knowing that you have assembled and painted it yourself. The NSR Corvette C6R KIT (ref. NSR1071) is born exactly for that: to offer you all the mechanics and chassis that have made NSR famous, but with the unpainted body and the assembly pending so that you can bring it to life.

Technical features and equipment

Under the virgin body of the Corvette C6R lies a top-level mechanical platform. Here are the details you need to know before getting started:

King 21 Evo motor in anglewinder: well-distributed power

The King 21 Evo is one of the most recognised motors in the NSR catalogue. Mounted in an anglewinder position —that is, angled relative to the rear axle— it allows for a balanced mass distribution and a low-profile chassis that favours stability in corners. The 13/31 gear ratio offers a versatile starting point, suitable for both medium-speed club tracks and more technical circuits.

The 17 mm Air System rear wheel is another detail that makes a difference: its lightweight design reduces unsprung weight on the rear axle and improves acceleration response. The standard NSR sizes of 20 × 11 mm rear tyres and 18 × 8 mm front tyres ensure full compatibility with the brand's extensive range of rubber.

The 4841 Low Profile guide: flush with the track

The 4841 Low Profile guide from NSR is one of the most valued by enthusiasts seeking clean and precise driving. Its lowered design keeps the braids in constant contact with the track and reduces the risk of disconnection in chicanes. Compatible with the main track systems on the market.

Assemble and paint: the process that makes it yours

The KIT version means you will receive the assembly set and the unadorned body, ready for you to apply your personal livery or reproduce any of the historic decorations of the Corvette C6R in competition. For painting, brands like Tamiya, Vallejo, or Ammo offer excellent acrylic and enamel references perfectly suited for slot car bodies made of polycarbonate or ABS.

• Prime before painting if the body is made of clear polycarbonate.
• Use low-tack masking tape for the edges of the different colour areas.
• Water decals adhere better over a previous layer of gloss varnish.
• A final finish in matte or satin varnish protects the decoration and provides the desired appearance.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts who enjoy both assembly and driving.
• Club competitors who want to personalise their car from the ground up.
• Experienced slot modellers looking for a complete building and painting project.
• Collectors who wish to reproduce a specific livery of the Corvette C6R in competition.

Aspects to consider

As this is a kit for assembly and painting, basic experience in assembling slot cars is required, and if decoration is desired, elementary knowledge of modelling painting. The kit includes all the necessary mechanical components to make it ready to run once assembled and painted.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this KIT and the RTR version of the NSR Corvette C6R?

The RTR (Ready to Race) version comes fully assembled and decorated, ready to plug in and run. This KIT, on the other hand, is delivered for assembly and with the unpainted body, giving you complete freedom to choose the decoration and enjoy the building process.

Is any special tool required for assembly?

Assembling an NSR slot car does not require very specific tools: a precision screwdriver, some pliers, and a bit of lubricant for the axle are enough to get started. If you want to fine-tune the setup, tools from specialised brands will facilitate the process.

What paints are compatible with the body?

It depends on the material of the body. Acrylics from Tamiya, Vallejo, or Ammo generally work very well. If the body is made of polycarbonate, it is recommended to paint from the inside with paints specifically for Lexan. Check the exact material in the kit specifications before choosing the type of paint.

Is the King 21 Evo motor suitable for club racing?

Yes. The King 21 Evo is a commonly used motor in mid-high level club racing categories. It is advisable to check the specific regulations of your championship, as some categories limit the type of motor allowed.

What track systems is this car compatible with?

Thanks to the 4841 Low Profile guide, the NSR Corvette C6R KIT is compatible with the main track systems on the market, including Scalextric, Ninco, Scaleauto, or Carrera. Always check the width of your track to ensure optimal compatibility.

Can I replace the motor or the gear ratio once assembled?

Yes. NSR has an extensive catalogue of spare parts and interchangeable components: motors, pinions, crowns, axles, and wheels are easily replaceable, making this kit a very flexible platform to adjust performance according to the track or regulations.

The NSR Corvette C6R KIT (NSR1071) is a 1/32 scale slot car kit designed for assembly and custom painting. Powered by the King 21 Evo motor in anglewinder configuration, it features a 13/31 gear ratio, 17mm Air System rear wheels, 20×11mm rear tyres, and a 4841 Low Profile guide blade. A top choice for slot car enthusiasts, club racers and modellers looking to build and personalise their own NSR racing car from scratch.
