PORSCHE 997 MEDIUM BLACK EVO2

The NSR EVO2 chassis for the Porsche 997: geometry, stiffness and control in a single component

The reference NSR1470 corresponds to the Porsche 997 Medium Black EVO2 chassis from NSR, a preparation component designed to mount or renew the running gear of NSR's Porsche 997 slot cars. The Medium version refers to the intermediate stiffness of the chassis, a balance highly appreciated by preparers seeking adaptability to different types of track without sacrificing guide precision.

Main features

• EVO2 version: second evolution of the NSR chassis for the Porsche 997 body, with improvements over the original design in terms of geometry and weight distribution.
• Medium stiffness: intermediate flex that allows for absorbing track irregularities while keeping all four wheels in contact with the rail.
• Black colour: standard NSR black finish, visually neutral and easily identifiable on the workbench.
• Manufactured by NSR: a reference brand in the slot world for the quality of its spare parts, availability of components, and its preparation ecosystem.

Chassis stiffness: what does Medium mean?

NSR offers its chassis in different stiffness grades —soft, medium, and hard— so that the preparer can adapt the car's behaviour to the type of layout and driving style. A Medium chassis is the most versatile choice: it performs well on technical circuits with many slow corners as well as on mixed layouts with fast sections. If the track is very smooth and fast, a Hard chassis may provide more stability; if it has many irregularities or hairpin turns, a Soft chassis maintains contact better. The Medium is the ideal starting point for fine-tuning from scratch.

Assembly and preparation

The EVO2 chassis is designed to accommodate the power units, axles, wheels, and Porsche 997 body from the NSR ecosystem. Before assembly, it is advisable to check that all mounting points are free of burrs and that the guide is centred. NSR recommends working on a flat reference surface to ensure that the chassis shows no torsion before installing the components. The adjustment of braids and the play of the guide are the first parameters to review after assembly.

Ideal for…

• Preparers who want to renew or build an NSR Porsche 997 from scratch.
• Club competitors looking for a neutral and adjustable base.
• Enthusiasts who have damaged the original chassis and need a direct replacement.
• Those who wish to experiment with different stiffnesses to find the optimal setup on their usual circuit.

Considerations

This product is exclusively the chassis; it does not include motor, axles, wheels, guide, or body. Check compatibility with the rest of the NSR components for your Porsche 997 before placing your order. NSR is one of the brands with the highest availability of spare parts in the sector, making it easy to complete or customise the assembly without difficulty.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the EVO and EVO2 chassis?

The EVO2 is the second generation of the NSR chassis for the Porsche 997. It incorporates refinements in geometry and anchoring points compared to the original EVO, although compatibility with standard NSR components is maintained. If you have doubts about compatibility with older parts, please consult us before ordering.

What does "Medium" stiffness mean in practice?

A Medium chassis offers intermediate flex that allows all four wheels to maintain contact with the rail on most layouts. It is the most versatile starting point for adjusting the car's behaviour before deciding if more or less stiffness is needed.

Does it include any additional components besides the chassis?

No. The reference NSR1470 corresponds solely to the chassis. Motor, axles, wheels, guide, braids, and body are purchased separately.

Is it compatible with universal and sport track circuits?

The compatibility of the assembled car with the type of track mainly depends on the installed guide. NSR offers guides compatible with different systems, such as Scalextric or Scaleauto, among others. Check the appropriate guide reference for your circuit.

Can I use this chassis in club competition?

Yes, as long as your championship regulations allow the use of replacement or modified chassis. Check the specific rules of your category before competing with it.
